27950 W Highway Hooks Ranch A Family Heritage Property Near Lake of the Ozarks It does not get any better than this! Located in the history rich northern region of the Ozark mountains is your own slice of hunting and recreational heaven including draws, hills, hollows, creek, ponds, trails, abundant wildlife, and beautiful timber! Hooks Ranch est. in 1966 has been generationally owned for the last 56 years. Upon entering the ranch from State Highway W, you travel through the narrow 200-foot arm approximately a quarter of mile which opens to the secluded 333 acres. A very nice trail then leads you to the wide low saddle area, which acts as a large funnel extending the entire length of the property. A portion of which includes Lick Branch, which is a tributary draining into the Lake of the Ozarks. This funnel area is composed of approximately 45 acres of pasture interspersed with nicely timbered arms. These are perfect spots for food plots, as exhibited by the 4 that are already established, and other foraging areas. The three ponds and year-round creek ensure the abundant whitetail population and other smaller game are not traveling far for water. The multiple ridges are comprised mostly of hardwood timber, there is no shortage of acorns, cover, or other forage. Due to the topography, there are numerous wonderful building sites, including a winter view of the lake through the trees. It could be quite a daunting task to choose your favorite building spot. To truly appreciate the property's uniqueness, it needs to be experienced in person. It is absolutely a one-of-a-kind opportunity that you are not going to find another like!
