Thank you! This is exactly the type of information I needed to help me with my planning. This video brings back great memories of cutting firewood with my dad.
Again thanks for the well presented information. Is there a vibrant timber industry in the area? Also are larger tracts described in meets and bounds descriptions or Section, Township and Range (GLO)?
10:22 I lived in upstate NY in the late 60s to 70's. I know we cut and burned hardwoods just like that but seeing a rail straight oak cut into rounds for splitting kind of breaks my heart now in my late years. I'd have that up on a saw mill! I know you have to burn something and nothing catches and burns quite like split wood but still.
@@LivinginBranson Firewood is quite useful. And there's nothing quite like the heat and clean burn of aged hardwood. It's all we ever burned. Oh, I forgot to mention, where I lived in upstate NY is just about identical to the woods in this video. We had more conifers and birch on our property. The incline on our place was a lot more steep. Like only a log skidder could get to the top on the 4th level.. The farm next to our place (we bought our land from that farmer) had an easier grade and you could ATV and snowmobile up his side of our property line.
You are absolutely right; I am looking for 20-30 acres. I've had small hobby-farms in the past, but I don't think the Ozarks are good for that. Now I'm just looking for privacy and enough land to keep people away. I'll be in touch to explore those possibilities. I believe that north of your location would be good for small independent farm setups... but I don't know the area. I might be interested in that too, just not sure yet. Anyway, thanks for the video info.
Hi there! thanks so much for watching! 20 miles north of Branson Missouri and east and west Springfield, turns into nice rolling hills with some trees and pasture, and not as rocky! Perfect for a small farm!
Too many when an area gets developed, what happens to the older farms with animals and development happens do they get grandfathered in or forced to sell to the new hoa rules?
I've been trying to find a house just outside of Springfield (not in the city) but may consider the Ozarks. Based on my research it may be cheaper to just buy land somewhere in the Ozarks and have a pole barn built followed up by a house down the road. I want 10-20 acres. Sadly land prices seem to have sky rocketed.
Yes, land is not going down in price, like they say- "they're not making more of it." I see a lot of new Barndominium style homes around here. it's a huge trend. Buyers just want a small home with a few acres and chickens. I hear it all day long. 🐔 I'd be glad to get your search started? You can email me details at carrie@bransonhouse.com:) Thanks for watching!
i live just outside Springfield but not in the sticks, but very close. Among many things, but i would strongly consider to look at getting something outside of Greene county, especially if you want/need to build something. The property taxes, restrictions, permits,etc. are much better in neighboring counties (except Christian county- Ozark area). that may mean another 10-15 commute into Springfield, but all things consider a small price to pay for that potential disadvantage. Yes, property prices have gone up substantially in the past 5 yrs or so, especially within a 30 mi radius around Springfield.

I hear ya! It is beautiful 🪵 and I was imagining someone may tell us to make something useful out of this oak, lol!
