This cattleman’s ranch delivers a lifestyle that can be envied, which in turn, offers a rare opportunity to invest in a premier S.W. Missouri property. Located only a quarter of a mile east of the Carthage city limits and 1.5 miles from I-49, it offers a multitude of usage options. Currently, it is a working cattle operation with meticulously cared-for and thought-out handling facilities that are adjacent to multiple water-available pastures. It could easily be re-envisioned to become an excellent equine property. The division of the pasture into multiple water-accessible paddocks still lends enough ground to produce high-quality hay. The soils are premium, with the majority of 93% being Class 2 tillable and the remainder Class 3, lending it to the option of ROI tillable income. Another excellent and very viable option, due to location, would be residential or business development for all or part. Built with an eye for comfortable elegance, the bright and airy 3 bedroom/2 bath home combines large living areas, custom cabinets, a canning/bonus room, and a beautiful master ensuite. Stepping outside, you are greeted with a wonderful outbuilding with finished interiors and AC/heat, which is currently a kennel business, but could easily have endless possibilities, i.e. venue, retail space, or added family home space. A very nice, insulated shop with lean-to rounds out this area. Cattle working facilities include a new barn with 4 points of entrance and exit, extensive runs, pens, and squeeze chute. A large pole barn completes the structures all of which are connected to multiple pipe fencing corrals with waterers. The remaining 173+/- acres of ag ground are currently in 22+/- acres of soybeans, with the remainder in a very nice mix of spring and summer pasture grasses, which are very clean. Automatic waterers (7) are in strategic places throughout pastures. The 1+/- acre pond with a new footbridge is found in the southeast portion of the property, which is an additional water source. The property is completely fenced and cross-fenced with convenient relocation alleys. Care and stewardship at its finest have been exhibited on this property, which would be hard to find anywhere else. If you have any questions or would like to book a private showing of the property, please feel free to contact us.
