Osage Fork Farm

Welcome to Osage Fork Farm, a premier 820± acre Ozark property offering unmatched diversity, productivity, and natural beauty. With approximately 2 miles of Osage Fork of the Gasconade River frontage—most of it owned on both sides—this legacy working cattle farm is a rare opportunity to own a stretch of land renowned for its incredible fishing, floating, and recreational access. Land The 820± acres of Osage Fork Farm is a diverse mix of fertile river bottom, open pastures, and mature hardwood timber. Rolling hills and flat hay fields provide excellent ground for both agriculture and wildlife, while the multiple ponds, springs, and river frontage add valuable water resources throughout the property.

Incredible Water Access: Over 2 miles of Osage Fork of the Gasconade River frontage, 11 ponds, 3 wells, and multiple year-round springs. Water infrastructure includes five Ritchie 4-hole automatic waterers, a lagoon, and three tire-tank waterers.

High-Production Hay Ground: 125± acres of fertile, well-maintained hay fields produce up to 800 large 4×6 bales annually, averaging 4 bales per acre with up to 3 cuttings per year.

Livestock Ready: Capacity to run 150–175 head of cattle. Continuous pipe panel catch, weaning, and calving lot (300’x100′), multiple pipe corrals with water, and rotational grazing with 25-acre pastures.

Outbuildings & Equipment Storage:

Two 60’x100′ red iron barns (one on each side of the river)

30’x70′ galvanized steel-framed barn with 20′ lean-to and 13′ sidewalls

20’x48′ concrete block barn

40’x30′ machine shed

The farm is thoughtfully fenced and cross-fenced for rotational grazing, with sturdy pipe corners, 5-strand barbed wire, and high-quality gates throughout. Pastures are fertilized and sprayed regularly, supporting healthy livestock and strong hay yields.

Recreation On the east side of the river, a cozy hunting cabin provides a perfect getaway after a long day of hunting or floating. Wildlife abounds—this region is known for producing whitetail bucks over 150” and supporting a thriving population of Eastern wild turkey. Morel mushrooms grow abundantly in the bottomland, adding to the bounty.

Laclede County is a productive area for wildlife, especially whitetail deer and Eastern wild turkey. The diverse habitat across Osage Fork Farm—river bottom, open pasture, hardwood timber, and thick edge cover—creates ideal conditions for holding and growing mature bucks. The river bottom provides a natural travel corridor for wildlife, and the farm’s size and seclusion allow for low-pressure hunting and effective management. Bucks scoring over 150″ are regularly harvested in this part of the Ozarks, and trail camera photos and sightings support a strong local herd. Turkey hunting is also excellent, with roosting areas along the timbered ridges and open fields that provide strutting zones each spring. Morel mushrooms can be found throughout the property in season, and the combination of water, cover, and food sources makes this farm a reliable producer for both hunting and wildlife observation year-round.

Agriculture Osage Fork Farm is thoughtfully fenced and cross-fenced with sturdy pipe corners, 5-strand barbed wire, and high-quality gates, supporting a well-managed cattle and hay operation. The farm currently runs 150–175 cow/calf pairs and includes approximately 125 acres of fertilized and sprayed, high-yielding hay ground producing up to 800 large 4×6 bales annually with three cuttings per year. Multiple water sources, including Ritchie waterers, springs, and ponds, are strategically placed to support healthy livestock and allow for efficient weekly rotational grazing and self-sufficiency in production. If desired, the bottom fields could easily be converted into tillable acreage opening up even more agricultural opportunities.

Location Located at the end of a dead-end road, this amazing acreage has seclusion but is still only 15 minutes from Lebanon, Missouri, and all the big box stores one would desire. For more information or your very own qualified private showing, please contact the listing agents.
