Property Description
Blue Vista Acres is truly a one-of-a-kind opportunity! Spread across this feature-rich 250+/- acres, you will find caves, natural springs, a year-round creek, a pond, and a cabin. This property has been well-maintained and preserved with room for your future dreams to be implemented. As you arrive at the property, you will find 2 county road entrances in place. After just a short drive into the property, you can park and take a short hike down to find Onyx Cave. This is the oldest known and explored cave in the state of Missouri! With history dating back into the 1890s and many explorations into this cave, there is over 6600 feet of mapped cave to explore here, encompassing large cavernous rooms and tight tunnel spaces. Located centrally on the property, you can find the Blue River Cave that has a flowing underground river and is accessible during the dry months of the year. It has constant spring water flowing from it and stunning imagery! Additionally, there are 2 other named caves on the property, Goat Guano Cave and Onyx Ledge Cave, both smaller and less explored. If you love spelunking, you will not find a better playground on a single property! In addition to the caves, this property has more than ample features to feed your recreation appetite. With over a mile of Little Creek flowing through the property, there is much to enjoy and explore. 3 known springs flow year-round out of the ground, providing abundant water sources. There is one pond on the east side of the property that you pass as you drive to the cabin. This cabin has been used as a hunting camp and summer hideaway retreat. It features a covered front porch and a two-room interior, providing a quiet space away from it all. It is equipped with propane heat and generator hookup, so you can have power and heat. There are 4 bunks built into the walls and a loft above for ample sleeping space. There are opportunities in this area and others for additional structures to be built.

Supplements
If hunting is more what you are after in the spring and fall, this property has all the habitat to make for ideal private hunting. There are stands and blinds placed throughout the land to enable great hunting over water and food sources. With abundant deer and turkey populations combined with multiple food plots, you will have no shortage of opportunities.
If conservation and exploring is more your speed, beyond the deer and turkey, there are many species of small game and birds to be found here. There is a large blue heron rookery in the southeast corner of the property, which is a sight to see! The combination of these features into one property is rare and does not come to market often. Do not miss your opportunity to own a unique piece of recreational paradise!If hunting is more what you are after in the spring and fall, this property has all the habitat to make for ideal private hunting.
