About this property

949 Highway M, Van Buren, MO - Commercial real estate offering on 3.92 +/- unrestricted acres strategically positioned along paved Route M, just 1 mile from US Highway 60 and minutes from downtown Van Buren, MO. The property features a versatile 3,200 sq. ft. multi-use commercial building currently operating as a active restaurant, fully equipped with installed public water and high-capacity electrical service. Restaurant equipment is available separately for a seamless, turn-key business handoff. With no restrictions of record and extensive paved highway frontage, the acreage offers limitless flexibility to expand or diversify—ideal for developing an RV park, nightly rental cabins, an outfitter shop, or self-storage units just to name a few. This prime location captures steady local trade along with a seasonal tourist stream drawn to the crystal-clear Current River, the world-famous Big Spring (flowing 286 million gallons daily), Mark Twain National Forest, and the 23,000-acre Peck Ranch Conservation Area, home to Missouri’s wild elk herd. Whether maintaining the existing hospitality operation, repurposing the structure, or developing the excess ground for additional income, this high-visibility Ozark commercial tract delivers operational freedom and growth potential.
