Private Retreat on 158 AC in Wayne

Land Description

Welcome to your private retreat on 158 acres in the heart of the Missouri countryside. Just 2.2 miles off Highway 67, conveniently positioned between Fredericktown and Poplar Bluff near Silva, this property blends natural beauty with versatility, offering endless opportunities for recreation, homesteading, or simply escaping to a place of peace and privacy. Overlooking the pasture sits a 3 bed 1 bath ranch style home with an attached 2 car garage and partial unfinished basement that has been stripped to the studs and is ready to be made into your ideal rural getaway. Conveniently situated just across the county road from the dwelling sits a hay barn with a tack room and a stall next to a 30'x53' metal shop with a concrete floor, electric, and a 53' lean-to. There are four water spigots one beside the house, one on either end of the barn, and one in the field, along with several cisterns throughout the property. Electric is present on both sides of the county road with one meter for the dwelling and another 200amp service at the shop with an RV hookup. City water is available for hookup while there is also a well with a new well pump present. From the moment you arrive, you'll be struck by the balance of open fields, mature woodlands, and water features that create a truly unique landscape. Frazier Creek, a year-round live-water creek, meanders the full length of the property, its clear waters supporting fish and enhancing the property's natural charm. Two spring-fed ponds provide even more character and utility-whether for fishing, livestock, or as habitat for waterfowl. One pond, fringed with native foliage, offers not only visual interest but also a secluded hideaway for quiet reflection or recreation. This land is rich in resources and possibilities. Expansive open spaces are ideal for farming, grazing, or building the homestead of your dreams, while a network of maintained trails winds through wooded sections-perfect for horseback riding, ATV adventures, or simply exploring on foot. For hunters, this property is a proven destination with thriving populations of deer and turkey, it has a long-standing reputation for successful hunts year after year. Whether your vision is a recreational getaway, working farm, hunting paradise, or a private sanctuary, this property delivers. The mix of timber, water, and open ground makes it not only breathtaking but also functional-ready to support whatever lifestyle you imagine.
