One of the best opportunities for a residential development that I have seen in a long time. Three entrances to this 121.5 acres would make it easy to develop in phases and keep equipment off the developed portion of the subdivision. This property will offer absolutely beautiful views of the Lawson golf course. It would be a developer/builders dream and would keep a builder busy for the rest of his career. Or buy as a farm with good income and tons of upside opportunity. This would be a good farm to invest in long term for great appreciation regardless of development. Put some of that retirement income into a good investment that would be a great asset for the future. Beautiful homes already built and being built near this property. This would easily cater to upper bracket homes.

Located in the rolling hills of Ray County just outside of Lawson, Missouri, this 34± acre hunting and recreational farm offers an outstanding combination of timber, water, wildlife habitat, and access. Properties of this size with these features are becoming increasingly difficult to find in an area known for quality deer and turkey hunting. Coon Branch Creek winds through the property, providing a reliable water source for wildlife and creating fertile bottom ground areas. Several secluded openings offer excellent opportunities for food plots, helping attract and hold deer throughout the season. The combination of water, cover, and food sources creates the habitat needed to support healthy wildlife populations. The farm features a diverse mix of mature hardwood timber, including numerous oak and walnut trees. Rolling terrain throughout the property creates natural travel corridors, bedding areas, and multiple stand locations for varying wind conditions. The topography also makes the farm feel larger than its actual acreage while adding to its recreational appeal. Access is a major advantage, with road frontage on two sides of the property. This allows hunters and landowners multiple entry and exit options while helping minimize disturbance to wildlife. Located just three-quarters of a mile off D Highway, the farm is easy to reach while still offering privacy and seclusion. For the deer hunter, this property checks all the boxes: quality habitat, bedding cover, food plot potential, elevation changes, a year-round water source, and numerous stand locations. The surrounding area is well known for strong whitetail deer and turkey populations, making this an excellent hunting and recreational investment. Located within the Lawson School District and only minutes from Lawson, this versatile property offers the opportunity to enjoy hunting, recreation, and land ownership in one of Missouri's most desirable areas.
