A nearly 2-mile private drive winds through rolling woods, meadows, and seasonal stream crossings before revealing the custom-built lodge and rustic bunkhouse-style barn, thoughtfully positioned deep within the property for total seclusion and serenity. The main lodge features four bedrooms and four bathrooms, a chefs kitchen with granite countertops, and a stunning vaulted dining room wrapped in windows. The spacious living room centers around a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, while the upper level includes a loft bedroom, bathroom, and a skylit card/rec room. The home comfortably sleeps 16+ guests, making it ideal for outfitting, retreats, or family gatherings.

Just steps away, the barn includes rustic living quarters with six built-in bunks, a full bath and shower room, and a game room/living areaperfect for hunters, guests, or on-site staff.

One of the propertys greatest assets is its abundance of natural water. In addition to the extensive Fox Creek frontage, the land features multiple live springs, year-round creeks, and several well-maintained ponds. These water sources support livestock, attract wildlife, and add immeasurable scenic and recreational value. From fishing and wading to simply relaxing beside flowing streams, water is a defining and sustainable resource that enhances every aspect of this ranch.

Roughly 190 acres of the land are open, including over 30 acres of highly productive bottomland next to Fox Creek. The remaining cleared acreage includes hayfields, grazing pastures, and a network of strategically placed food plotsranging from bowhunting micro plots to large alfalfa fields, many with Redneck blinds already in place. The pastures can support up to 100 head of cattle and yield 34 bales of hay per acre.

The timber is diverse and mature, with stands of red, white, and black oak, hickory, walnut, shortleaf pine, and cedar. Spring and fall bring bursts of color from dogwoods, redbuds, and fruiting trees like pawpaws and persimmons. The terrain offers a quintessential Ozark mix of ridges, benches, south-facing slopes, rock outcroppings, and even small waterfallscreating both beauty and functionality for wildlife management and recreational enjoyment.

Lonesome Dove has been carefully managed for wildlife, producing large, mature whitetail bucks and maintaining a strong population of Eastern wild turkeys. Other native game includes coyotes, bobcats, and the occasional black bear (draw tag required). The expansive internal road system allows easy access across the property, connecting food plots, blinds, and treestands with minimal disturbance.

For buyers with vision, Lonesome Dove offers excellent potential to be converted into a high-fence trophy buck ranch. The natural topography, dense cover, and plentiful food and water sources provide an ideal foundation for managing genetics, nutrition, and herd health in a controlled environment. With existing infrastructure and seclusion already in place, the transition to a trophy deer operation could be seamless and profitable.

Whether you're looking to live, ranch, hunt, or invest, this property has the infrastructure and appeal to support a wide range of uses. Consider it for a private residence, working cattle ranch, high-end hunting retreat, outfitting business, bed and breakfast, Airbnb, or even a corporate getaway.

Located just 25 minutes from Mountain Grove, 45 minutes from West Plains, 1.5 hours from Springfield or Branson, and just over 3 hours from St. Louis, Lonesome Dove offers unmatched privacy without sacrificing accessibility.
