1000 NE 100th Rd, Sheldon, MO, 64784

This farm features 50+/- acres of well maintained, fescue-based pasture that's been soil tested, limed and fertilized to optimize forage growth. In addition to this well-established pasture, the owners have recently expanded the pasture area into the oak woodlands to the south, adding another 43+/- acres of oak savanna with enough shade to keep your animals cool, but also plenty of openings to foster the growth of grasses and legumes needed to put weight on your stock. Perimeter fencing is in good condition, with much of it still shiny and tight. In addition, interior fencing is in place to create paddocks for managed grazing and several new welded pipe corners and braces have been built and new gates hung. Water is a critical feature of any good stock farm, and this one has plenty. The big pond is a 1.5 acre oasis in a wooded valley that provides opportunities for recreation as well as livestock water and would make a beautiful site for a custom home. Elsewhere on the tract, 0.6 and 0.4 acre ponds provide additional water sources for livestock and wildlife alike. A 50'x70' Quonset hay shed sits atop a knoll in the northeast corner of the parcel, perfect for keeping hay and equipment out of the weather, and just to the west of it is a 2150 s.f. barn comprised of an 1100 s.f. lean-to attached to an 1150 s.f. enclosed structure that's wired and fully insulated, with a concrete floor and overhead garage door. For additional storage, there is also a small freestanding 130 s.f. shed with garage door and a 1000 s.f. concrete pad with roof that was previously used as a kennel. Buyers who enjoy hunting pursuits will find plenty of opportunity to satisfy their passions with the abundant deer and turkeys found on the farm, as well as small game and even waterfowl on the ponds. Game trails and lots of tracks are easy to find and prevalent throughout the timbered portions and along the banks of the ponds.
