Description For Tract 2: 602.3± Acres
The ground rolls through hardwood ridges and brushy bedding cover, with acres of food plots laid out across the ranch in varied plantings. Hyde Creek, a rock-bottom Ozark stream, winds through the heart of the property and cuts through several other sections, providing wildlife with year-round live water and a natural travel corridor. Multiple springs feed the creek, keeping water on the ground through the dry months. A new pond is in place, currently about half full and not yet stocked, ready to finish out as the next owner sees fit. Deer and turkey numbers are as strong as anywhere in this part of Missouri, the product of long-term habitat management, food plots, and natural thickets that hold fawning does and nesting hens. Quail are also on the property and have grown in number each year. The current owner does not hunt them.
Hunting infrastructure is in place and built to last. Box stands sit across the ranch positioned over food plots and high-traffic timber funnels. A well-maintained interior and perimeter trail system ties the whole ranch together, allowing quiet access to and from every stand. Building those roads was no small job, and the result is a property that hunts as easily as it looks on a map.
The ranch sits about 55 minutes from Springfield and is roughly an hour and a half from Branson, with the Springfield-Branson National Airport, hospitals, and any supplies you might need within an easy drive. Hartville anchors the area with its historic courthouse square, and the Mark Twain National Forest, Bennett Spring trout waters, and the central Ozark float streams are all within reach for anyone looking to get off the property.
Burke Ranch is turnkey. Large contiguous acres of timber, water, food plots, and ready to hunt. Properties built like this don’t come along often. Come walk it and see for yourself.
