This exceptional 25-acre parcel sits at the corner of Highway UU and Merritt Road. Bordering approximately 20,000 acres of Mark Twain National Forest along two sides, the property offers outstanding privacy and direct access to endless outdoor recreation. The 140 feet rise in elevation from Merritt Road to a hilltop is thick with lush grass shaded by towering walnuts with two ponds near Merritt Road for livestock or wildlife. One pond appears to be spring-fed. At the highest point, approximately 1,400 feet in elevation, you'll discover spectacular long-distance views stretching from the northwest to the southeast. With selective clearing, these panoramic vistas could be truly unmatched. The property is roughly divided in half between open pasture and mixed timber, offering an ideal balance for livestock, hunting, recreation, or building your dream home or cabin. Several power poles are already located on the property, providing convenient access to electricity for your build. Current access is from the northeast corner along Merritt Road, with additional potential access points available from Highway UU. Conveniently located just 20 minutes from Sparta, 30 minutes from Ava, 35 minutes from Ozark, and 40 minutes from Springfield, this property combines seclusion, natural beauty, and accessibility in one remarkable package.
