The Schutzenhaus 20
Rooted in local history and surrounded by the beauty of the Missouri countryside, Schutzenhaus 20 is a unique 20-acre recreational tract just outside Hermann, Missouri.
The name Schutzenhaus is German for "shooting house," a nod to the property's history dating back to the early 1900s, when this area was associated with target practice and shooting competitions. Today, the property offers a completely different kind of escape - a private, wooded setting where recreation, wildlife, and the possibility of building something of your own come together.
The entire tract is wooded, featuring a diverse mix of black oak, white oak, walnut, cedar, and other native timber. A dry creek runs through the center of the property before connecting with a wet creek toward the bottom of the hill, creating natural character, drainage, and wildlife habitat throughout the tract.
One of the property's standout features is its natural slope and elevated views looking toward Hermann. With the right vision and site planning, there may be an opportunity to create a private homesite overlooking the surrounding countryside and town. Whether your dream is a weekend cabin, hunting retreat, or permanent residence, this property offers the kind of setting that invites you to think creatively.
For the outdoor enthusiast, Schutzenhaus 20 is equally compelling. The acreage provides plenty of room to develop hiking, mountain biking, running, and recreational trails, while portions of the property could potentially be cleared for a food plot or other wildlife improvements. The wooded terrain and surrounding agricultural ground create an attractive environment for whitetail deer and wild turkey, with turkey frequently roosting in the timber and using nearby fields during the spring season.
The property also sits in an area known for its foraging opportunities, particularly during mushroom season. The combination of mature timber, creek systems, and proximity to the Missouri River corridor creates an environment where outdoor enthusiasts may encounter morels, chanterelles, lion's mane, coral mushrooms, chicken of the woods, hen of the woods, and other native fungi.
Whether you're looking for a private hunting tract, a place to hike and explore, a recreational getaway, a potential homesite, or simply an investment in land near Hermann, Schutzenhaus 20 offers a rare combination of history, natural beauty, recreation, and potential.
The property boundaries have been approximately identified but have not yet been formally surveyed. The sellers are open to discussing a survey and working with a buyer regarding the final configuration and boundaries of the property.
