Fristoe sits at a key rural crossroads in Benton County with easy access to Truman Lake and Pomme de Terre River recreation, a deeply rooted local history, and a quiet, outdoors-oriented lifestyle. Properties here appeal to buyers seeking country living near water, boating, and fishing, while remaining within convenient reach of Warsaw and regional amenities.
This offering includes approximately 8 acres being separated from a larger 10-acre tract and conveys a 36x24 shop with electricity already in place. The seller is willing to share an existing well, significantly reducing upfront development costs. A new septic system would be the primary improvement needed for a future residence.
The land features a desirable blend of heavily timbered acreage and open, usable ground. The wooded areas are populated with a variety of mature oak trees, offering privacy, natural beauty, and an ideal wildlife habitat. A wide, maintained open corridor runs across the property, creating a natural access and pasture area that supports thick grass growth suitable for grazing animals such as goats or cattle, while also providing a clear separation between open ground and more secluded wooded build areas deeper into the property.
This layout offers flexibility for a private homesite set back among the trees, a recreational or hunting retreat, or a combination of both — allowing owners to enjoy open space up front while preserving privacy and quiet farther in.
Wildlife is abundant, with regular sightings of deer, turkey, and bald eagles. Bird enthusiasts will appreciate the diversity of species in the area, including summer tanagers, bluebirds, multiple hawk species, field sparrows, yellow-bellied cuckoos, and more. Granny’s Acres Conservation Area, located just three miles away, offers over 350 acres of marked hiking trails through hilly forest and woodland ecosystems managed by the Missouri Department of Conservation. Highway CC ends approximately four miles from the property at Truman Lake, and public hunting is permitted throughout the surrounding area, making this location especially attractive for outdoor recreation.
Although the property carries a Warsaw address, it is firmly part of the Fristoe community, located roughly 10 miles south of Warsaw along Highway 65. The area has no post office, but features a community building, a small local restaurant, and Antwiler Community Park directly across the highway, adding convenient access to green space and community gatherings.
The land has been thoughtfully enhanced with established landscaping, including multiple colors of irises, Rose of Sharon, and an abundance of lilies, bringing seasonal color and character to this rural setting.
Whether your vision is building a home tucked into the timber, running small livestock, or owning recreational land near Truman Lake, this property offers infrastructure, flexibility, and location that align with how buyers actually use land in this area.
