Columbia MO Real Estate & Land for Sale

From the moment you pull up to the pine gates, you get the feeling you are about to experience one of those properties thats just unique. The location of the property is ideal, as it's so close to Interstate 70 and Columbia Missouri, yet when on the property you would swear you were miles from anywhere. With the farm located nearly at the end of a dead end road and the big mature timber that completely encompasses the permitter, the peace and tranquility is mind easing. Once you pass through the gate, you see the trail on your right that will lead you along the south line to the east side of the farm and allows access to the entire east side of the farm. The east side of the farm consists of a wet weather creek crossing in the southeast corner and one open grass area that is about little over 1.5 acres, the ideal spot for a late season food plot, and over 80 acres of solid timber. The road leading in to the heart of the property will take you on the ridge top through a bean field that is showing the signs of plentiful wildlife presence, with the tops of the bean plants all eaten out by the deer and a few fresh dusting areas for the turkeys. Once you reach the end of that field you are led to another opening in a timber section, this is where 14 acres owned by Boone County Missouri is located. The 14 acres splits the farm into 2 parcels and runs all the way from east to west side. The property is believed to be an abandoned Boone's Lick trail system. With restrictions on the land being no structures of any kind, the best part is the owner has access to hunt and use the land as their own. Once through the timber opening and off the Boone County property, you find the heart of the farm and fully experience what it truly has to offer. The open field that lays to your right and extends north to and eventually wraps back around to the west side of the land. This is where you will find the shed, orchard and pond that offer up so many possibilities of recreation.

The Alpha-Omega Farm was purchased 33 years ago and has been a work in progress ever since. The quality and quantity of grass that has been used for hay and forage over the years is rivaled by few. With the owner being a grass and range specialist for his chosen career, the canvas he used to create his own masterpiece came in the form of 117 acres in Howard County Missouri.Once established on the farm the transformation of the pasture ground was set in place and the seeding began in 1993 and continued for 5 plus years to fully transform all the acres in production on the Alpha-Omega Farm. The seeding includes Big Bluestem grass, Indian grass, Switch grass, Alfalfa, Bird's-foot trefoil, and Eastern Gamagrass. With all of those in place the livestock was happy and balers were busy. With livestock not being on the farm the last few years the land has been used primarily for baling of the grass hay. But with all great grazing farms, the food is only half the battle, and a plan had to be put into place to get water to all the animals. That's when the plan to pipe water underground from a pond already in place to a centrally located hydrant, to allow multiple paddocks access to the same water source. Beyond that several other hydrants were spaces out throughout the land to provide other locations with additional water hydrants.The 2500+ square foot home on the property is perfectly located near the junction of 2 paved roads that intersect on the edge the property. From the porch you can look south over the grassy acres and enjoy the sounds of the country while taking in some of the breathtaking views. The 3 bedroom 3 bathroom home has several upgraded rooms in the recent history including a new master suite. The kitchen, which includes a gas burning stove has a modern touch. The home also has a wood burning furnace outside the home that can be used to heat the home if one chooses to cut and burn the wood.
