Southwest part----south of Springfield. Lots of great cattle grazing ground, Lots of different sales barns, great hunting, can catch your limit of fish any day of the year---trout, bass, catfish, crappie, depending on time of year in a stream or stream or lake, Springfield 25 minutes away, Branson 25 minutes away, several colleges in the area, good country neighbors, good hospitals and doctors (although poor policies have been put in place with new ObamaCare) and only a 3 hour drive to St. Louis. Tulsa is 3 hours, Oklahoma City 5, Kansas City 3, Little Rock 4, Wichita 4. Lots of hills, trees, creek and river bottoms, if you want to row crop or hay. Just all around good area. Can get more remote is you go east and south of Springfield--Rolla to Arkansas line is good cattle country, but not close to any bigger towns----a bit closer to Springfield.
