Large 48 acre tract available in ELK RIDGE!
This development is prime hunting and recreational land with multiple areas on each tract for building and camping. Only a short drive from Eminence MO and thousands of acres of National Forest. The area is full of whitetail deer, turkey and is only a few miles west of where the Department of Conservation has released a large herd of elk! It’s centrally located with SO much to do in the area including trail rides, fishing and floating in the Jack’s Fork River and so much more – these properties are a rare find!
Facing east on the county road at the south side of the property. The land is on the left side of the road.
Elk Ridge is limited to about 15 tracts so the area will never be crowded. There are miles of trails running through Elk Ridge which are ONLY for use of the property owners and their guests. Although EVERY tract at Elk Ridge does have frontage on a public road, each property owner has use of the existing network of trails to access different areas of their properties. These trails are for four wheelers, side-by-sides (Razors) and foot traffic. Electric/phone are on the north side of Elk Ridge and are also about 1/8 mile west of the south side of Elk Ridge. We had good cell service at the county road on the south side of Elk Ridge and on the higway on the north side of Elk Ridge.
Please refer to our interactive map above for additional property views and information. Please note that the boundary lines and measurements are approximate. This interactive map is BRAND NEW for us and if you have a chance we would love to have your feedback on it. Is it awesome? Is it great? Is it confusing? We would like to know!
Please keep in mind that ALL of the aerial maps/photos are about 2-3 years old so they were taken pretty recently after the property had been logged (they are the newest maps we could get). Within those 2-3 years thousands of small trees have started/continued to grow and a recent aerial would reflect that fact and would show a lot more “greenery”.
Please note that on the interactive map it seems to work best if you click the “View Full Screen” option. Once you are in the “Full Screen” option you can select “Topo” to see a topographic map which shows how the property is situated. It slopes down off of the county road and then back up to a cool ridge, then back down and back up to another ridge. The views from the ridges are great!
It appears fairly long and thin but it is actually 400 feet wide, giving plenty of room for your choice of dozens of building and/camping sites. You can see one of the trails at Elk Ridge which starts near the southeast corner of the 48 acres. This trail goes down the hill to the east and then you can cut back to the west to get to the middle or north part of the property. These interior trails are NOT made for cars/trucks and are VERY rough. They are designed for four wheeler access or foot access. The interior trails are not public roads, they are only for the use of Elk Ridge property owners and their guests, making for a very private setting.

The map above shows the network of trails within Elk Ridge. These are not public roads, these are ONLY for the use of property owners and their guests. These existing roads can be used to access different areas of your property. These are VERY primitive roads (and they always will be). They are designed to be used for foot traffic, four wheelers or side-by-sides (Razors). These roads are permanent easements for property owners and their guests. When we were out at the property taking videos sections of the trails were VERY rough (we had a tremendous amount of rain just before taking the videos). Although we were able to make it through with a four wheeler, it was still pretty rough. The trail system connects to County Road 414 on the south end and goes all throughout the property finally connecting with Highway 106 on the north side of Elk Ridge.
The property is located about 4 miles southwest of Eminence, Missouri. The property is private and secluded (with an amazing amount of wildlife) but is also within about 5 minutes of Eminence, Missouri. Even though this huge tract will keep you busy exploring, hunting and camping you may be interested to know that within 10 miles of the property you will find over 10,000 acres of National Forest and State Lands upon which you can also hunt, camp, trail ride and play!
The property was logged about 4-5 years ago. It was logged heavily. Although there are a few larger trees left, much of the property is covered with thousands of young oak, pine and hickory trees (as well as many other species). Sometimes we spend a few weeks and clean up a property that has been logged but since we have quite a few projects right now we have decided so leave these properties as they are and sell them at a reduced price. You could certainly clean up the property by yourself but years of experience has shown us that after just a few years the limbs left from the loggers will rot away, the remaining trees will grow quickly and the property will look excellent.
Please click on the video below to see an aerial video we took of the property using our new drone. It’s pretty cool! We also have one of our more “normal” videos down below this one (on foot, the old-fashioned way).

This tract is subject to the 6 basic Deed Assurances as shown on our website (no mobile homes, etc.). Homes or cabins built on the property which are to be used as a residence must have a minimum concrete foundation size of 600 square feet (a simple 20 X 30 cabin would meet this requirement).
The area is full of deer and wild turkey and even some elk sightings. Perfect for hunting and recreation!
The property is in an excellent location, only a short drive from Eminence MO. The property borders a county maintained road along its entire south side so you can drive to the property all year around in basically any type of vehicle.
The well known Jacks Fork River is within about 3 miles of this property and is one of Missouri’s wildest and most scenic rivers. On the Jacks Fork River you will find excellent fishing (specifically small mouth bass but also many other species) as well as great areas for floating, canoing and kayaking.
The photo above was taken near the middle of the property. We are looking south and in the distance you can see the truck parked just off of the County Road at the south end of the property.
To get to the property from Eminence take Highway 106 to the west for about 3 miles then go south onto Highway E. Stay on Highway E for about 1.5 miles and then go east (left) onto Shanon County 414. Now go just a few hundred yards and you will see the property on the left side of the road.
To get to the property from Springfield, Missouri just go east on Highway 60 to the town of Birch Tree. Keep going east past Birch Tree for a few miles and then go north (left) onto Highway E. Stay on Highway E for about 9 1/2 miles and then go east (right) onto Shannon County 414. Proceed a few hundred yards to the property which will be on the north side (left side) of the road.
Shannon County Road 414 ends about a mile after the property making it a VERY private setting!
For an easier way (potentially) to get to the property, you can use your GPS to get to Crystal Creek Ranch which is nearby at Co Rd E-414, Eminence, MO 65466. Crystal Creek Ranch is just about 1 mile east of the property.
The nearby Crystal Creek Ranch also offers alot of activities, making a great added feature for nearby property owners! For more information you can visit: crystalcreekranch.com

Above is a topo map of Tract 6 with approximate property boundaries. The property slopes down gently off of the county road (as you go north). The topo map shows the two tiny creeks which cross over the south side of the porperty (possibly seasonal creeks). There is a ridge in about the center of the property that has beautiful views to the south and the north and may be a great place for a cabin or campsite.
