The property is secluded in the countryside on 25 riverfront acres with private river access — 10 minutes from Springfield, Missouri, yet far enough away for a peaceful, secluded stay. Scenic paved roads are perfect for cyclists, and 65 acres of trails are ideal for hiking, arrowhead hunting, or riding the UTV. Wildlife is abundant, with frequent deer and bald eagle sightings, and wild blackberries grow around the cabin in early July. Nearby: the Wild Animal Safari in Strafford (within 10 miles) and Buena Vista Ranch (owned by Jerry Jones of the Dallas Cowboys) just a two-minute drive away, where you can see longhorns and pet a friendly zonkey.
