A calm wind whispers through the trees of Shannon County's forested ridges, over the moss covered rocks and dewy bottomlands, carrying with it an ancient sound. A sound long silenced by habitat destruction and overhunting, now reborn. Low, distant elk bugles ring out from the hilltops, beckoning to cows nearby, traveling like fog across the ground of this picturesque 80 acre property. Cultivated clearings grace the landscape like a blanket, while thick canopies shelter the surrounding land, hiding the life that thrives within them. Cool water seeps from the ground forming Thorny Creek, the property's namesake, before carving its way through the mountainous terrain to join the turquoise blue waters of the Current River. Lush government owned land neighbors Thorny Creek Hollow to the North, providing unobstructed access to the Current and thousands of acres of bountiful hunting land. All of this, situated harmoniously on the Ozark Plateau, a thriving yet wild area that nourishes life across its lands, where young bear cubs learn to navigate the forest and hunt its unspoiled rivers, bald eagles dominate the skies and coyotes scavenge the areas in between. This is Thorny Creek Hollow.
