This 95+/- acre farm on paved Wurtz Road in Gasconade County brings together 44+/- acres of open pasture, about 50 acres of timbered hills and wooded creek bottom, two ponds, and 954+/- feet of year-round Big Berger Creek, just outside Hermann. A row of mature shade trees lines the approximately 1,061 feet of road frontage, and from there the land rolls back through open fields and wooded ridges, with views across the surrounding hills in several directions. There are multiple build sites to choose from, whether you picture a home looking out over the pastures or a cabin set back against the timber. With paved road along the front of the property, this is a setting ready for a custom home, a working farm, or both. The tract is being surveyed out of a larger farm, and the new survey will set the final acreage and boundaries. Big Berger Creek flows year-round along the southern boundary over a rock and gravel bed, past a layered rock ledge and under a corridor of hardwoods, and it is a good place to wade in on a hot summer afternoon. Two ponds, 0.38 and 0.18 acres, add more water. The larger one sits near the road beside a grove of shade trees, and the smaller is set in a valley toward the east boundary, in a clearing ringed by timber. The open ground is bottomland pasture and fields that curve between the tree lines, with room for cattle, horses, or hay, and sections of wood board fence and wire fence are already in place. The rest is northern Ozarks woodland, a mix of oaks, hickories, and some pine, rising from the creek bottom into hillsides and a wooded draw. Field edges, wooded draws, and the creek bottom give you natural funnels to scout, and the woods are open underneath in many spots. Mowed lanes run through the timber and along the field edges, giving you options for stand locations and food plots and a way to get around. You can farm the bottoms, hunt deer and turkey, or fish the ponds, all on the same property. Wurtz Road puts you about 10 miles from Hermann and its wineries and historic downtown, with the shopping, dining, and services of Washington and New Haven close by. This is rural living in the rolling hills of Missouri wine country, with town still an easy drive away. Call today to schedule your private showing!
