Description
This is an opportunity to be the fourth owner of this farm since it was settled in 1849. These 210+/- acres have been meticulously managed for years. On the west side of the farm sits the large farmhouse that has a full basement and 2,650 +/- square feet of living space. Originally constructed in 1849, the home has been updated multiple times, but its original flair remains, including hardwood floors and porcelain door handles. With some elbow grease, this home would be suitable for a full-time residence or would make a great farm weekend and hunting season retreat. Multiple outbuildings are located near the house to store equipment and gear. Like the home, the outbuildings are the perfect balance of old and new. The large barn near the house still boasts its original stamp from construction in 1923; it sits next to a Morton building with concrete floors and electric service that’s less than 10 years old. Rounding out the buildings are a large open-faced shed and Morton carport.
Traveling east from the house is where the roads diverge. The southernmost trail climbs in elevation before traversing through the farm’s southern timber block. The northernmost farm road off First Creek Road takes you east through the pasture. This road is fully functional for vehicles and equipment. The first pond, measuring approximately ¾ of an acre, is in the field along First Creek Road. Central in the pasture is additional storage with a large barn, an open-faced shed, and an additional well. As the farm road turns south, a large, stocked lake measuring over 4 ½ acres sits between the farm’s other blocks of timber. There is also a small wildlife water hole secluded in the timber. The live water in the creek rounds out the plentiful water sources. The trail system continues to the east property line as well as back south, climbing in elevation to a large, secluded field. This field was the setting for the gobblers in the pictures and video.
The farm has approximately 50 acres of pasture, most of which are fenced and ready for cattle, and the pasture is currently leased. The timber, located mainly on north and east ridges, is mature, consisting of oak, hickory, cedar, and short-leaf pine. Some of the massive oaks will produce tons of acorns for the local wildlife. The hunting opportunities are plentiful, with multiple secluded fields and trails that run through the timber.
The property is restricted by a conservation easement. The purpose of the conservation easement is “to assure that the property will be permanently protected from the spread of urban development, retained forever in its natural, scenic, forested, and agricultural condition, and to prevent any use of the Property which will impair or interfere with its conservation values.” There are restrictions regarding where additional structures may be built on the farm, as can be seen in the delineated building envelopes. The main limitation is that the property cannot be further divided beyond this 210+/- acre division. The same terms of the conservation easement also cover the large tract to the west of the house. This means that approximately one square mile of land around this farm will never be subdivided or mismanaged. This ensures clear creeks, managed pastures, and high-quality timber forever.
This tract is being split from a larger parent tract, so the tax ID will change, and the final price will be per surveyed acre. The tax amount listed is for the entire parent tract. The farm is approximately ten miles from Hermann and in the Hermann school district. Feel free to reach out with any questions that you have, and we would love the opportunity to give you a tour.
