Just southeast of Princeton, Missouri, near the Mercer and Grundy County line, lies 197 +/- acres with so much potential for hunting and significant income. The farm has been left fallow since 2019. There are approximately 45 +/- acres of highly productive Class II bottom-ground soils that were cleaned up and put back into production in 2024. With Colo clay/loam soils sporting an NCCPI value of 94, and Vigar loam soils at 91, the productivity index is as good as it gets and promises exceptional crop yields. There are several more acres of gently rolling hill ground that could also be easily put back into production. There is more small tree and brush cleanup that needs to be done here before this ground is viable for crops again, but the soil qualities are good and the ground lays well to allow it to continue to secede. Much of the cleanup could be handled with a bush hog, skid steers with a tree puller, and herbicide. There were about 80-100 +/- acres leased for grazing last year as well. Crop and pasture income on this farm should push $15,000 per year or more.
If deer sign and actual sightings suggest anything, this farm will provide an amazing hunting opportunity for new owners. In the two times I’ve toured and walked this farm I encountered 20-30 deer each time. They were simply everywhere! There is outstanding bedding cover and habitat for whitetails here and this farm has holding power to keep them planted. Once crop food sources are introduced again as well as a couple of well-positioned food plots, this farm will be a consistent producer of trophy whitetails. Access to all parts of the farm is excellent to accommodate a stealthy approach to stands. West Honey Creek runs north and south through the eastern third of the property and it is completely lined with mature roost trees for turkeys. You can just picture a big Missouri tom pitching down off the roost at daylight to strut for the ladies in the open bottoms. There are also 2 nice ponds on the farm.
There are several potential build sites on the farm with outstanding views. Both rural water and electricity are available. Whether it be a cabin for a weekend retreat or putting down roots with a permanent residence you can enjoy the peace and solitude of the surrounding countryside while having the benefit of not seeing another neighbor! This farm presents a unique opportunity to merge an exceptional recreational experience with significant income. Please call David Brothers at (660) 240-3243 to schedule your tour.
