About this property
The Stansberry Creek Ranch is located just 10 miles south of Aurora and Monett, Missouri. The 1,835± acre contiguous ranch is one of the largest and most complete cattle and recreational properties to come to market in southern Missouri in many years. With over three miles of blacktop road frontage and numerous gated entrances, the ranch offers outstanding access while still providing exceptional privacy and seclusion. Set among some of the highest elevations in the area, the property features expansive views, rolling pastureland, and a diverse landscape with good improvements. The ranch is highly improved and designed for efficient, large-scale cattle operations. The majority of the ranch is productive pastureland, perimeter- and cross-fenced, with a solid private internal gravel road system and multiple sets of cattle-handling facilities. Large pipe corrals, lined concrete feed bunks, and nearly 20 acres of holding pens make backgrounding, finishing, sorting, and loadouts efficient. The property's southern end has fertile creek-bottom ground and provides reliable hay production. Water is abundant and well distributed across the ranch, with numerous creeks, springs, automatic cattle waterers, multiple ponds, and a beautiful 10±-acre stocked lake. The lake sits concealed in the center of the ranch against a beautiful mature timber backdrop. Ideal for fishing, recreation, and waterfowl hunting, while the surrounding timber supports strong populations of whitetail deer and wild turkey, creating excellent hunting opportunities. Additional improvements include multiple barns, several water wells, and three homes, each with separate entrances and thoughtfully spaced across the property. The Stansberry Creek Ranch is conveniently located near well-appointed towns, Table Rock Lake, and major hubs, including Joplin, Springfield, and Bentonville, Arkansas, as well as multiple livestock sale barns and commodity suppliers-allowing the operation to run efficiently with minimal travel. This ranch offers a rare combination of lifestyle, income production, recreation, and long-term investment value, making it an exceptional legacy property. Whether feeding hay, tagging newborn calves, riding horses across the ridges and through the valleys, or hunting deep in the timber, this property delivers on all aspects.

Questions to ask before you buy
Questions worth investigating for any waterfront property. They are not claims that this property has a problem or meets any condition.
- Who owns the shoreline and the land under the water, and are there easements or public-access rights along it?Ownership can stop at a high-water line, a survey line or a seawall. A title search and survey answer this, not the listing.
- Is a dock, slip, lift or mooring included, and do the rights transfer to you?Docks can be shared, leased, assigned by an association or held under a permit that does not automatically transfer.
- What permits exist for the dock, seawall or other shoreline structures, and what would new work require?Shoreline work is often regulated by local, state and federal agencies.
- How much does the water level change by season, by tide or by reservoir management?Depth at a dock in one season can differ a lot in another.
- What does flood insurance cost for this property, and what does the current flood map show?Get a quote from an insurer or agent. A flood zone is not a premium, and no zone does not mean no risk.
- What maintenance does the shoreline need (seawall, bulkhead, riprap, erosion), and what has been done recently?Shoreline structures are expensive to repair; ask for records and inspection reports.
- How are water, sewer or septic, and power provided?Waterfront septic systems and wells can have extra rules and inspections.
- How do you reach the property by road year-round, and who maintains that road?Some waterfront roads are private, seasonal or shared.
- What local rules apply: rentals, docks, boat lifts, fences, tree removal, setbacks?Rules come from the town, county, state, lake authority or association and vary widely.
