Discover your ultimate outdoor retreat with this exceptional 40-acre +/- recreational tract nestled in Wayne County, Missouri. Positioned just off Highway CC near the Reynolds County line and just minutes outside the town of Piedmont, this property offers the ideal blend of secluded wilderness, diverse terrain, and town convenience.
Boasting a rich history of excellent deer and turkey hunting, alongside a diverse mix of local wildlife, this land is a sportsman’s dream. The property features a diverse ridge system that creates natural travel corridors for wildlife, complemented by a wet-weather creek winding through the landscape. Several clear openings on the flat areas and ridge tops serve as former food plot destinations, providing excellent opportunities to establish strategic feeding zones. Navigating the acreage is made simple by an established interior trail system that connects these openings and grants access across the property. Tucked just off one of these interior trails is a prepared footbed for a future pond project, giving the next owner an excellent head start on creating a permanent water source or private fishing hole. Additionally, the tract holds immediate financial value with a substantial stand of marketable standing timber. For buyers interested in a selective harvest, a trusted professional is available nearby to offer fair services and expert valuations.
Beyond your private acreage, a world of elite public recreation awaits. The property is surrounded by and closely connects to the Riverside Conservation Area, expanding your footprint for hunting and outdoor exploration. For water enthusiasts, you are just a short drive from the pristine waters of the Black River, renowned for world-class smallmouth bass fishing and premier float trip opportunities. The nearby Clearwater Lake Management Area sits right by the river, giving you immediate access to thousands of bonus acres of protected public land, public boat launches, and the endless boating, fishing, and watersports opportunities on Clearwater Lake. This area is further expanded by bordering U.S. Army Corps of Engineers property, offering massive public acreage buffers and unmatched recreational longevity right at your doorstep.
