000 Zodiac Road, Sheldon, MO 64784 - Vernon County

This highly tillable farm at the south end of Sheldon in southern Vernon County has investment potential written all over it. Whether you’re looking for a row crop farm to expand your ag holdings, are considering housing development options, or have aspirations for industry, this 40 +/- acre parcel checks a lot of boxes.

For the tillable farm investor, this farm has a lot to offer. 98% of the farm is comprised of Class 2 and 3 Parsons and Barden silt loams. Farm investors in this area know that these soils are among the most productive in this region, with NCCPI scores of 70-82 for corn and around 70 for soybeans. Approximately 90% of the parcel is tillable, with the balance in trees and a grass waterway. Producers with an interest in livestock or hay production will appreciate the pasture potential of this tract as well. The east and west sides of the property are already fenced, with just over a third of the total perimeter needing additional fencing for livestock containment. The farm could be readily seeded to grasses and legumes for some excellent pasture or hay, and rural water is available at the county road for easy connection to waterers.

The property also has appeal for investors looking for housing or industrial development. With its location immediately adjacent to Sheldon city limits, there is some real potential for a subdivision or apartments, and a developer with a vision could have a blank canvas on which to work. Commercial or industrial interests would also be well served, with room for parking, storage, warehouses, and loading facilities. In addition, the Missouri & Northern Arkansas railroad runs along a quarter mile of the east side of the parcel, and the seller has confirmed the ability to create a rail siding to the property for freight connections.
