Welcome to Elk Head Lodge, a rare and distinguished property nestled in the rolling hills of Bland, Missouri, with a legacy that dates back to 1907. Set on 40 secluded acres, this estate is not just a historic architectural treasure—it’s a hunter’s paradise. The land is surrounded by mature hardwoods, providing excellent habitat and natural cover for white-tailed deer and wild turkey. With wooded areas, open paddocks, and a private, stocked lake attracting wildlife, the property offers year-round opportunities for hunting and outdoor recreation just steps from your door.
The layout of the land is ideal for hunters, with a mix of wooded ridges and clearings that create natural game corridors. Multiple paddocks with new fencing and the surrounding forested acreage provide prime conditions for setting up blinds or stands, while still allowing easy access throughout the property. Whether you're an experienced outdoorsman or simply enjoy the thrill of spotting deer from the back porch, Elk Head Lodge offers both convenience and immersion in nature. The lake, stocked with bass, bluegill, and catfish, also serves as a watering hole for local wildlife, making it a natural magnet for game.
After a day in the field, retreat to the warmth and charm of this Prairie School-inspired home. Designed by a protégé of Frank Lloyd Wright, the 3,738-square-foot residence blends classic architecture with expansive windows that frame views like landscape paintings. Enjoy quiet evenings recounting the day’s hunt by the massive stone fireplace or relaxing on the covered deck overlooking the lake and woods. The flexible interior layout—with large gathering spaces, private bedroom suites, and a gallery hall that spans over 80 feet—makes this home an ideal basecamp for entertaining guests or unwinding in solitude.
In addition to the main home, the property includes an unfinished caretaker’s cottage and detached garage with greenhouse, with the option to purchase additional structures and acreage. Surrounded by nature, with no restrictions and exceptional privacy, this unique estate combines rich history with modern upgrades and endless potential for hunters and outdoor enthusiasts alike. Located less than two hours from St. Louis and near a private airport, Elk Head Lodge is both accessible and unforgettable—a true legacy hunting retreat.
