Listing details for 4444 Mo Rte O Hw, Higbee, MO 65257 : The Alpha-Omega Farm was purchased 33 years ago and has been a work in progress ever since. The quality and quantity of grass that has been used for hay and forage over the years is rivaled by few. With the owner being a grass and range specialist for his chosen career, the canvas he used to create his own masterpiece came in the form of 117 acres in Howard County Missouri. Once established on the farm the transformation of the pasture ground was set in place and the seeding began in 1993 and continued for 5 plus years to fully transform all the acres in production on the Alpha-Omega Farm. The seeding includes Big Bluestem grass, Indian grass, Switch grass, Alfalfa, Bird’s-foot trefoil, and Eastern Gamagrass. With all of those in place the livestock was happy and balers were busy. With livestock not being on the farm the last few years the land has been used primarily for baling of the grass hay. But with all great grazing farms, the food is only half the battle, and a plan had to be put into place to get water to all the animals. That’s when the plan to pipe water underground from a pond already in place to a centrally located hydrant, to allow multiple paddocks access to the same water source. Beyond that several other hydrants were spaces out throughout the land to provide other locations with additional water hydrants. The 2500+ square foot home on the property is perfectly located near the junction of 2 paved roads that intersect on the edge the property. From the porch you can look south over the grassy acres and enjoy the sounds of the country while taking in some of the breathtaking views. The 3 bedroom 3 bathroom home has several upgraded rooms in the recent history including a new master suite. The kitchen, which includes a gas burning stove has a modern touch. The home also has a wood burning furnace outside the home that can be used to heat the home if one chooses to cut and burn the wood.
