9305 Old State Route 21

About this home

This 17.76 +/- acre property has gated access off paved Old State Route 21 outside the city limits of Hillsboro in Jefferson County, Missouri. Sandy Creek runs through the property with cottonwood timber along the water, giving deer a natural travel route. Deer and turkey were seen during the property tour, and multiple ground scrapes were found along the timber edge and near the creek. The bottom field is currently being used for hay production. The remainder of the property has large mature trees. The open ground sits just inside the gate, with the timber lining the back and the sides with majority of it in the floodplain. There are multiple deer trails throughout the property. An elevated box blind sits at the edge of the bottom field so you can hunt from day one. Behind the open ground, Sandy Creek flows through the property, and cottonwood timber lines the water. The creek gives the tract a natural travel route for wildlife and a clear reference point for planning your hunt, whether that means setting a stand near a crossing or hanging trail cameras along the bank. Multiple ground scrapes were found while walking the property, which is a good sign that deer are moving through. Scrapes along the timber edge and near the creek are the kind of spots worth watching from a distance before you commit to a stand location. The gate is a real advantage on a property this size. It gives you one defined way in and out, which makes it easier to plan your approach to stands and keep pressure low. On a small tract, how you enter and leave matters, and a single gated entrance helps you manage that from the first trip. At 17.76 acres, this could make a great small hunting tract. It is a manageable size for one owner or a small group. You will not need a big budget or a long to-do list to get started, just a few walks through the timber and along the creek to see how the deer are using the ground. This property may suit a hunter who wants a small, easy-to-manage hunting property, a buyer looking for recreational acreage in Jefferson County with a creek, or anyone who wants a gated tract of their own.
