The genetics that exist within this 315 +/- acre Ottawa County ranch make this property truly special. Located only 15 minutes from Grove and approximately 30 minutes from Joplin, this high-fenced ranch has been carefully developed around the management of an exceptional whitetail herd and offers the rare opportunity to acquire an established operation with the infrastructure already in place. Approximately 3 miles of full-perimeter high fencing completely encloses the ranch. Inside the fence, an extensive trail system provides convenient access throughout the ranch, while approximately 170 feet of elevation change, multiple natural springs and three strategically located 2 +/- acre food plots create a diverse and productive environment. The current herd includes three 3-year-old bucks measuring approximately 165”, 170” and 180”-190”, five 1-year-old bucks, approximately 20 does and approximately 8 fawns. All current fawns were bred by the breeder bucks on the ranch. The ranch is exceptionally well equipped for continued quality deer management. Multiple box blinds and feeders convey, along with an integrated camera system, perimeter fencing cameras for predator monitoring and a permethrin misting station. For the buyer not interested in maintaining a high-fenced ranch, there are multiple gated access points around the perimeter that can be opened to allow for free range hunting and the extensive trail network make managing and accessing the ranch efficient. At the heart of the operation is a 3 bed and 2 bath lodge. Whether used as a hunting headquarters, weekend retreat or ranch residence, the lodge provides a comfortable base for enjoying everything this property has to offer. This is more than acreage—it is an established high-fenced whitetail operation with proven management infrastructure, exceptional genetics and room for continued growth.
