The hills and hollows of the Ozark Mountains are an enchanting place. They're a place of extensive forests with towering oaks, and a place full of springs and ancient stone and clear cold streams. In short, they're a place to fall in love with and explore, whether with a walking stick or trekking pole among the springtime dogwoods or with a bow or rifle among the vibrant colors and rustling leaves of autumn. Tucked into the wooded hills of central Christian County you'll find Wood Thrush Lane, and just off of this rural roadway lies 71+/- acres of wooded paradise cloaked with oaks and hickories in the overstory and soft mosses and ferns near the ground. A nice side by side trail winds over and through the rolling hills and creek bottom, allowing good access to the main ridges crossing through the parcel as it course up and down the wooded slopes.Plenty of deer and turkeys call this property home, and it also affords good opportunities to spot a black bear, as many have been seen on and near this land cruising through the woods seeking food and shelter. Myriad woodland plants emerge from the forest floor, offering the promise of an excellent response for a new owner with an interest in prescribed burning to improve the wildlife habitat. And if this property itself doesn't offer quite enough room to roam, thousands of additional acres are available for exploration on the Mark Twain National Forest land that's accessible along the property's eastern boundary.Buyers looking for a secluded build site for a home in the woods should give this one a closer look as well. With rural electric service available along the road and a fairly flat ridgetop in the southwest corner, you could experience life in the forest, well buffered from the hectic pace of the city, where you'll hear more whippoorwills and owls than cars.
