Welcome to Dragonfly Ranch in the heart of sought-after Gasconade County, an exceptional turn-key 18-acre recreational and build-ready property offering stunning panoramic views, outstanding improvements, privacy, and the infrastructure already in place for your future dream home. Located just outside Owensville, this premier Central Missouri acreage places you within easy driving distance of Hermann, Rosebud, New Haven, Washington, and just over an hour from St. Louis, offering the perfect combination of rural seclusion and convenient access.
A gently winding gravel drive welcomes you into this beautiful property and leads to a thoughtfully designed headquarters featuring a fully insulated 30x50 metal shop building, completed in 2023-2024 and built for immediate enjoyment. The building is fully spray foam insulated and includes a comfortable sleeping and lounging area, a full bathroom with shower, and a stacked washer and dryer, creating a functional setup for weekend retreats, hunting camp, equipment storage, or temporary living while you build. Both interior living spaces are exceptionally insulated, with reinforced overhead storage above, maximizing usable space.
Climate control is handled by individual mini-split systems in both living areas, while the main shop is serviced by a powerful 3-ton mini-split system. All units are app and remote controlled, providing year-round comfort and modern convenience. The shop is brightly lit, equipped with ceiling fans, and designed for versatility with four overhead garage doors, including two 10x10 doors, one 12x8 door, and one 8x8 door, allowing easy access for trucks, ATVs, tractors, trailers, or other equipment.
A second matching 42x30 triple pass-through Kentucky-style metal building provides outstanding additional storage and protection for vehicles, implements, tractors, boats, or recreational equipment. Every major utility improvement has already been completed, including buried electric service, preserving the breathtaking views with no overhead utility lines, along with a professionally planned private well and septic system sized and positioned to readily support a future custom home.
The land itself offers an ideal mix of open ground and mature timber, with approximately 3 acres of pasture and 15 wooded acres featuring established trails for hiking, ATV riding, wildlife observation, or hunting access. The wooded acreage creates outstanding habitat for Missouri wildlife while also offering privacy, recreation, and long-term enjoyment. An established clearing opens additional opportunities for outdoor entertaining, camping, shooting, food plots, gardening, or expanding future improvements.
Whether you are searching for a Missouri hunting property, weekend getaway near St. Louis, build-ready acreage with utilities, equine or hobby farm potential, or a private family retreat with immediate usability, Dragonfly Ranch delivers an increasingly rare combination of infrastructure, beauty, location, and versatility. Properties with this level of planning, quality improvements, scenic views, and ready-to-build utility infrastructure in Central Missouri are exceptionally hard to find. This is a truly special property that is ready today and prepared for whatever your future vision may hold.
