Description

Located in Osceola.Cheap Land In Missouri near Truman Lake If you're ready to get away from all the stresses of urban life, cut out a little slice of country for yourself here near Missouri's largest lake Truman Lake. Truman is a fisherman's dream and considered the more serene, pastoral sister to the Lake of the Ozarks, but you're still less than two hours away from the big city action of Kansas City. PROPERTY: This 7.25 acre square-ish piece of land has access to NE 1301, a public dirt road that runs to paved Hwy ZZ one mile away. You don't need a car to get to the lake though, as the shoreline awaits you just a quarter-mile walk from your property, along a creek and through unspoiled government-owned land. This is as close as you can get to the lake! The tract is generally level and easily buildable on the north half before sloping gently downward toward the seasonal creek near the southern boundary line. It's moderately wooded with no structures. The area overall is very lightly developed with no neighbors between you and Missouri's largest lake, and no close neighbors to the south and east, this property offers all the peaceful and natural amenities you expect from a lakeside lifestyle. Power is available in the area. This 55,600-plus acre Truman Lake offers 958 miles of coast line and has created a diverse wildlife area rich in the history of Osage Indians, explorers, fur trappers, traders and settlers. Truman Lake is a great location for fishing, even in the winter, as power from Truman Dam helps heat the water. It's nationally known for its excellent crappie and bass fishing but boasts great fishing of walleye, hybrid bass and other species of fish. The reservoir is fed by four rivers and several small streams, creating a broad diversity for fishing. The nearest city is Osceola and it's about a 30 minute drive to the west. Osceola is a quaint little town where you'll find a couple supermarkets, Dollar General, Wendy's, the famous Osceola Cheese company, a vet, and a few other critical services. If you're hungry though, you absolutely can't miss Sugarfoot's BBQ, an award-winning restaurant incredibly popular by locals and tourists alike. Osceola has a colorful Civil War-era past as a once-thriving riverboat port, site of a brutal Civil War battle, and frequent hideout for Jesse James and the Younger Gang. Much of the Victorian-style architecture that was employed during the post-Civil War rebuilding phase still remains. When it's time to go shopping and stock up on supplies, Warsaw is less than a half hour to the northeast and hosts a Walmart, several other shops, bed-and-breakfasts, restaurants, parks, and marinas. Downtown Warsaw and the Drake Harbor Recreation Area Trails have been designated as "Great Places in Missouri" by the American Planning Association. Take a refreshing walk across the Joe Dice Swinging Suspension Bridge, which is on the National Historic Registry, or ride your bike on some of the state's best and most scenic bicycle trails. If Warsaw is Truman Lake's gateway city for all those adventurous souls that travel from the east, historic Clinton serves that same role for all who come from the west, and it also lies about a half hour away from the property. It offers many of the same services as Warsaw, like a Walmart, Starbucks, and major fast food chains and supermarkets. You'll also find the trailhead to the Katy Trail here, the longest developed rail-trail in the country. Whether you are a cyclist, walker, horse rider, nature lover, or history buff, the trail offers something for you. The park, built on the former cooridor of the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad (MKT or "Katy"), is 225 miles long and runs from Clinton to St. Charles. Of course, Truman Lake anchors several state parks, promising bountiful natural beauty and outdoor adventure. The most notable of which is the Harry S. Truman State Park. Clear waters, dramatic bluffs and vibrant summer and fall colors make Harry S Truman State Park an ideal place to vacation. Located on a peninsula, the park offers a marina, ample fishing and boating opportunities, and water that's perfect for every kind of swimmer. Hiking trails, picnic areas and campsites dot the park's open oak woodlands and provide a home for abundant wildlife.

There's much more than just baseball and barbeque here. With a population of about a half million folks, you'll never have a shortage of things to do. When you're ready to go out for the night, try the Cinema Under the Stars, or a live music venue, then cap it all off at one of several bars and breweries. Many people might be surprised to discover Kansas City is home to a vibrant casino industry too. Make no mistake: KC loves their sports teams. The 2020 Super Bowl champion Chiefs call this city their home, as do baseball's Royals. Kids will love the Worlds of Fun amusement park, featuring over 100 family rides, thrill rides, waterslides, shows, and attractions including seven world-class roller coasters. It's also hosts the Midwest's largest Halloween event in September and October. For more natural entertainment, try the Kansas City Zoo, 200 acres of adventure bustling with more than 1,700 animals. If material trappings are what entice you, then allow your shopping bags to overflow as much as the city's fountains. Boutique shops in Westport, brand name favorites at Legends Outlets and antique treasures in the West Bottoms are just a few of the city's shopping hotspots. Last but certainly not least, Kansas City has made its mark on food. Smoky barbecue. Local distilleries.
