Welcome to Deer Canyon Ranch. Located in the heart of cattle country just 3 miles outside the town of Willow Springs, Missouri, this ranch offers easy accessibility to the Hwy 60 and 63 corridors; and transport to area stockyards. This location is great for a cattleman that wants to be close to town, but yet still able to enjoy the feeling of privacy & seclusion. This 279 +/- acre ranch is currently used as a cattle ranch with the added benefit of excellent hunting opportunities. It is border fenced with a holding pen and working pen to manage cattle. The holding pen contains multiple feed bunks and a mineral feeder which funnels though an alleyway to the working pen with squeeze chute for a rancher to safely separate and work his heard. One of the key aspects to this property is water. With a current spring-fed live water creek, there are three additional on-site springs that provide a good clean year-round water source for livestock. Even in the drought of summer, the cattle never have far to travel to get a drink and there is never a concern for lack of water. There are also several strategically located ponds throughout the property. The current rancher runs approximately 60 head of cattle per year on the property. Although not currently cross-fenced, the ranch certainly provides many pasture areas, so that rancher could strategically cross-fence it and set up numerous rotational grazing paddocks. While there are no current structures on the ranch, there are certainly build site opportunities and electric accessibility running through the property for a rancher desiring to build or reside onsite. As an added benefit, the deer hunting is exceptional as the current owner has harvested a number whitetail year over year off the ranch. The turkey hunting potential is very good as many turkey can often be seen around the property. And because they have not been hunted, there appears to be a large population of them. The layout of pasture and timber with the elevation variances throughout the property present a perfect wildlife habitat. The elevation is approximately 140 from top to bottom presenting a number of hilltops and valleys for bedding areas, in addition to easy access to the woods for cover making the deer and turkey feel safe and comfortable on this ranch. The fresh water in and around the property also keeps the wildlife close. If you are a rancher looking a for a place to build or just run your heard with liver water, this might just be the place for you.
