Antler Ridge borders the Mark Twain National Forest along the east, and the Pioneer Forest Conservation Area along the south. These are public land areas that you can use! There are 420,000 acres of national forest for you to explore and enjoy. This effectively turns your lot into a MUCH larger property. You can build a cabin or camp on your property. You will have access to the national forest areas for hunting and endless recreational opportunities.
This part of Missouri is absolutely gorgeous. The surrounding area is very beautiful with gorgeous views, lush foliage, and large oak and pine trees. The Ozark National Scenic Riverways is right in your backyard. Sinking Creek just to the west of the property. The Current River just to the south. This is a fisherman's, camping and rafting/canoeing enthusiasts dream.
The property also features wet weather creeks along the bottoms of some of the ridges. They don’t have water in them all the time but when they do, they are beautiful and will attract the many deer and turkey that habitat in this region of Missouri.
This property has been logged recently. It was clear cut along some of the ridges; however there are still plenty of large trees around. Just a little bit of work, and your tract can be even nicer than the surrounding national forest!
Access to the property is by maintained dirt County Road 2221 and is only a short drive from paved Missouri State Highway A and Scenic Missouri State Highway 19. There are numerous private dirt roads throughout the development to access every tract. The roads can be rough and we do recommend a truck for access. There are many level sites along the ridges and down in the valleys just waiting for you to setup the perfect camping spot or to put up a small hunting cabin.
Advantages of being next to the Mark Twain National Forest are numerous. This area is popular with hunters, trappers, anglers and persons who enjoy observing, studying and photographing wildflowers and wildlife. The Forest has about 320 species of birds, 75 species of mammals and 125 species of amphibians and reptiles. Game species include whitetail deer, turkey, quail, woodcocks, doves, ducks, geese, rabbits, raccoons, squirrels, opossums, woodchucks, bobcats, and coyotes. Named after Missouri native, Mark Twain, the Mark Twain National Forest is located in 29 counties across southern and central Missouri. Our St. Francois Mountain section is known for its clear spring-fed rivers and streams, lakes, rocky bluffs, pastoral views and shaded trails. The forest gets a variety of visitors through the year including spring and fall, when color changes the forest. In the spring, serviceberry, redbuds and dogwoods paint the winter landscape in pinks and whites. In the fall starting mid September, the oak hickory forest transforms from greens to yellows, peaches, reds, burgundies and dark purples. The height of fall color is usually mid-October.
"A two-fold wildlife goal of Mark Twain National Forest is to maintain viable populations of all species while also affording a medley of activities that will allow humans to enjoy them -- everything from hunting and fishing to wildlife viewing and photography." USDA Forest Service
The endless opportunities that abound in this area of Missouri make this land the perfect place to getaway to and enjoy everything the Ozarks has to offer!
