What Makes a Premier Hunting Property in the Midwest?

You’ve probably heard it before—location, variety, and hunting history. But when you’re not just looking for a farm, but the farm…those aren't just check boxes. They're the foundation. And while price always plays a part, some places simply offer things that can’t be measured in dollars and cents.

Welcome to Lone Oaks Farms, a legacy hunting property tucked deep into the rolling ridges, fertile bottoms, and Ag-rich heart of Macon County, Missouri. This isn’t your average farm with a food plot and a tree stand. This is the kind of place that grabs you by the soul the second your boots hit the ground.

Towering white oaks whispering in the wind. The creek bottoms below winding their way through bedding sanctuaries and food-rich corridors. It’s a farm that hunts bigger than its footprint thanks to smart access points, wind-friendly stand locations, and a layout that lets you disappear into the timber and emerge with memories—or antlers—you’ll never forget.

Lone Oaks carries a history of producing real Midwest giants. And it's only gotten better. The current stewards have poured their passion into every corner: timber stand improvement, expanded bedding and browse, precision food plot architecture, aggressive predator control, and a network of stands and blinds that make this property hunt like a seasoned chessboard.

But it doesn’t stop at deer. This is a true four-season sportsman’s paradise. From strutting long beards in the spring to frosty mornings in the blind, Lone Oaks delivers. A newly constructed pond on the eastern portion of the farm doubles as a honey hole for fishing and an ambush point for waterfowl—strategically designed to intercept Canada Geese migrating between historic roosts and nearby reservoirs.

In 2024, 91 acres were reported in FSA production. The 2025 lease is locked in at $160/acre—providing income while the farmer is increasing the tillable acreage a little more. Add in native warm-season grasses, lush clover blends, green browse from the hinge cutting, and the mast from mature oaks, and you’ve got a nutritional buffet to hold and grow world-class wildlife.

This is the kind of property that doesn’t just look good on paper. It lives up to the hype. It’s where stories are written, memories are made and then passed down, generation after generation.

Clock’s ticking. Properties like this don’t come along often—and they don’t last long when they do.
