About this land
This 72+/- acre property in Howell County, Missouri offers a strong mix of pasture, mature hardwood timber, abundant water, and multiple build opportunities just outside West Plains. With frontage on County Road 8390, access is straightforward while still providing the privacy many buyers are seeking. The land is gently rolling and highly usable throughout. Approximately 50% is open pasture suitable for livestock, hay production, or future agricultural improvements. The remaining 50% is wooded with mature hardwoods that provide shade, natural beauty, and excellent wildlife habitat. A defining feature is the water setup. Four interlinked ponds are positioned together in a system that appears to have once operated as a fish hatchery. Their connected layout presents unique potential for refurbishment, aquaculture, or developing a standout private fishing operation. In addition to the four connected ponds, a fifth pond is located separately on the property, offering added flexibility for livestock watering, recreation, or additional management options. Wildlife is another major highlight. A plentiful whitetail deer population was observed while touring the property, and the blend of timber, pasture, and water creates ideal conditions for deer and other native species. One established build site overlooks the four interlinked ponds and already has electricity in place, offering a scenic setting for a home or cabin. A second build site is secluded in the woods with separate access, electricity available, and an older well on site. This layout provides flexibility for multiple residences, a guest cabin, or income potential. The property is perimeter fenced with some cross-fencing, making it functional for livestock rotation. Whether you're envisioning a working farm, recreational retreat, or long-term investment, this tract delivers versatility, infrastructure, and water features that are increasingly difficult to find.

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.
