0 COUNTY ROAD 471, OAK RIDGE | CAPE GIRARDEAU COUNTY MO 35.65 - SOLD

This seldom available and highly sought after land in Cape Girardeau County, MO offers Buyers numerous possibilities from a potential hobby farming residence to a hunter's retreat.  

The elevation variance on this farm is only 60 ft from high to low providing for a gradual rolling slope throughout the property.

The farm consists of approximately 27 acres of current use tillable crop ground on rolling hills made up of four fields with the remaining 8 acres timbered mostly around the perimeter and cross fields. The small 1.84-acre field at the front end of the property roadside could provide for a build site for a home, shop/shed, or could be constructed further back into the property for that more peaceful and secluded setting. Another possibility could be a hunting cabin retreat site for that outdoor enthusiast!  There are also overhead utilities available throughout the property, to make your building project even easier!

The remaining tillable acreage could continue to be farmed as the Seller would agree to crop-share the ground providing a small annual income. If not farmed, there are numerous options available including grass for hay production and possible eligibility for several USDA-funded conservation programs that may be available.

There are remnants of two small dry pond tanks currently overgrown with trees providing an area that could be excavated and pond levees re-worked to re-establish the ponds.

A beautiful wet weather creek system runs along the southern border of the property approximately 1/3 mile in length. The current owner says that the creek system holds pockets of water throughout most of the year, which is another benefit, in that it provides a water source for wildlife too.  

Speaking of wildlife, this property is directly adjacent to the Maintz Wildlife Preserve which consists of over 803 acres of Missouri Conservation land to the southern border of the property across the creek.  Imagine walking across the creek bed of your very own property directly onto another 168-acre parcel of conservation land which is managed exclusively for the support of wildlife habitat. 

In all, this property offers all kinds of possibilities from farming to the potential of creating your very own wildlife habitat.  Along with a building site for a home or hunting cabin and electric utilities available, this property is not expected to be available for long.
