As the sun sets over the Missouri countryside, and the sky turns shades of pink and orange, it casts a warm glow across the land. Rolling hills and vast stretches of fields are painted with the golden light of the setting sun, creating a serene and peaceful atmosphere. The sweet fragrance of hay and wildflowers fills the air while the sound of crickets and cicadas echo in the distance, indicating the coming nightfall. You take a seat on the porch as the first stars start to appear in the night sky, and reflect back on the days events while taking in this tranquil and serene world away from the hustle and bustle of the city, a place where time seems to stand still, and nature still reigns supreme. Sugar Tree Farm is located just outside of Summersville, a small town that is a mere speck on the map of Missouri. Consisting of 160 acres, Sugar Tree Farm features several fenced and cross-fenced pastures, providing ample space for raising cattle and goats, and even a couple of friendly donkeys. The well-maintained pastures ensure that the animals have plenty of space to roam and graze, while 4 ponds as well as 6 waterers throughout provide refreshment. Lush timber patches blanket nearly half of Sugar Tree Farm, providing the ideal habitat for deer and turkey, as well as bird watching and exploring. Three shops grace the hilltop of this incredible property, two of which would be perfect for storing equipment or working on projects, while the third features fully finished living quarters including a full kitchen and a bathroom. Sugar Tree Farm is nestled only 3 miles from the Jack's Fork River and shares a corner pin with over 39,000 acres of Angeline Conservation Area, providing even more opportunity for the outdoor enthusiast. For some, life in the countryside may seem challenging or inconvenient, but for those who live here, the tight-knit community more than makes up for it and despite the hardships that may come with country living, it is a lifestyle that many cherish and hold dear to their hearts. It is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the people who call this place home.
