This large tract is packed with unique features and we have multiple pictures/videos in this listing.
UPDATE: This acreage was leased out for several years and is now available for sale. The folks who were leasing the property had an electric meter installed on the south end of the property, so that they could camp/vacation in the meadow by Bryant Creek in the summer-time. So, in addition to all of the other AMAZING features this tract has to offer, it now does have electric directly on-site, including a meter base!
Most of the photos/videos on this listing page were created a couple of years ago, before the property has been leased out. BUT, directly below this paragraph we have added a very recent “Drone Video” as well as a couple of very recent “Ground Videos”. We also left the original videos/pictures in the rest of this listing page, because they do accurately show the property (they just will not show the electric meter which has been installed on the south side of the meadow, near the creek).
Below, you will see the recent “Drone Video” which shows the property from the air:

The next video is a very recent “Ground Video” where we check out part of the property (including a small part of the river frontage):

And for the last “recent” video (below), we take a quick look at the live spring which comes out of the ground on the property:

Below, we have a few very recent photos of the property:
The aerial photo above was taken over the south end of the property, while facing north. The white truck is parked in the open meadow on the property. The property goes all the way across the County Road and rises up as you go to the north.
Having power (including a transformer and a meter base) already installed on the property can save you a LOT of time, money and hassle! You will likely only have to call the power company to have them install a meter, as the actual meter in the photo will probably be removed by the power company at some point.
On this very special property you will actually own BOTH sides of the river, which means no one will ever be able to build directly across the river from your private acreage.
The rest of this listing page has numerous other pictures/videos that are not quite as recent as the videos and photos above (but they do show the property accurately).
Now, on to the main listing for this totally unique and totally stunning property!
The Vera Cruz Conservation Area is about 1/4 of a mile west of the property. The Conservation Area is open for public hunting and recreation and has numerous campsites which you can use and enjoy.
In-ground spring, power and phone, open meadow area, county road frontage, BIG mature timber, stunning views AND direct frontage on the very popular Bryant Creek!
Bryant Creek is one of the most popular rivers/creeks in the Ozarks for fishing, floating and canoeing. It is VERY hard to find property with ANY direct frontage on the Bryant Creek. We know because we have been looking for years to find some! This property has over 200 feet of DIRECT Bryant Creek frontage.
The aerial map above shows the property’s boundaries as well as the approximate dimensions.
The “live spring” can be found just to the northwest of the intersection of County Road 230 and County Road 214. It is about 30 feet west of County Road 214 and you will see some type of old concrete foundation around the spring which was likely once the foundation for a “spring house”. The spring has generally been flowing when we have visited the area although at least once it did not appear to flow.
Please refer to this interactive map for additional property views and information. Please note that the boundary lines and measurements are approximate. This interactive map is fairly 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! You may have to use the “zoom” function on the right side of the map to get to the property, which is outlined in red.
The full sales price for this 9.39 acre tract of river-front land with County Road access and power ON-site is $129,500 and we offer INSTANT owner financing with just $2,500 down.
With your $2,500 down payment you will automatically get our reduced interest rate of 6 3/4% and the monthly payments will be $1,135. This is about a 15 year payment schedule and an annual interest rate of 6 3/4%.
With a $5,000 down payment the interest rate drops to 5 3/4% and the payment drops to $1,045 a month. These payments are all based on about a 15 year payment schedule. Property taxes are only about $120 a year and this is already included in the monthly payment amount(s). There are NO prepayment penalties and NO hidden fees.
PLEASE NOTE that you have a TWELVE MONTHS to ADD to your down payment in order to reduce your interest rate and payment amount! We want to give ALL of our buyers the opportunity to achieve the lowest interest rate and payment amount possible!
ALSO, if you pay off your property (your loan to us) at any time within the next 5 years you will get a 10% DISCOUNT off of the purchase price of the property! On this property that would save you $12,950 for an early payoff!
In the aerial photo above we are looking south over the property toward Bryant Creek.
The topo map above shows the terrain on the property. It is basically flat on the south side (south of County Road 230, which crosses over the middle of the property), going to Bryant Creek. On the north side of County Road 230 it rises up and continue to rise as you move toward the north end. The property has frontage on County road 214 along much of its northeast side. The land south of County road 230 is in the flood zone (like basically all open meadows adjacent to a major river/creek). Although you can build in the flood zone you would need to elevate your structure substantially. If you were to build on the north end of the property you would be well out of the flood zone.
Civil War History: Our research indicates that on November 7th, 1862 a Civil War Battle took place just to the north/east of the 9 acres. It was called the Battle Of Clark’s Mill (you can google it to find out all of the information). The actual Core Battlefield Area (where the fighting took place) appears to be just a few hundred feet from the property.
The map above appears to show the approximate location of the Battle of Clark’s Mill. The property outlined on the map above is actually “Tract 1” and this particular 9 acres is “Tract 4” – So the 9 acre property is slightly to the right of the pink outline in the map above (which puts the north part of the 9 acres into the Battlefield Core Area). Feel free to bring your metal detector and see what you can find! We located this map online from an organization that studies Civil War Battles. The entire area around this property (including the 9 acres itself) used to be the town of Vera Cruz, Missouri and was once the county seat of Douglas County.

This tract is subject to the 6 basic restrictions as shown on our website (no mobile homes, etc.). Homes or cabins built on the property 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).

Please note that the timber on this property can not be cut or disturbed until the property has been paid for in full.
The property is centrally located in the Missouri Ozarks. It is a little over an hour to Springfield which is the largest city in southern Missouri. Also, you will find over more than 10,000 acres of National Forest in the area which can be used for hunting, camping and trail riding.
To get to the property from Springfield, Missouri go east on Highway 60 to the town of Mansfield. Then go south on Highway 5 to the town of Ava. From Ava, go east on Highway 14 for about 9 miles and then go left on “AB Highway”. Stay on AB Highway for about 3 1/2 miles and at the bottom of the hill the highway will turn to gravel and you will immediately come to a fork in the road. You are now in the Vera Cruz Access Area. Go left at the fork and you will cross an old concrete bridge which goes over Hunter Creek, you are now on County Road 230. Now go about 1/4 mile and you will be at the property (it is just past the rock barn). To get to the north side of the property take your first left (this will be County Road 214). As you go north on County Road 214 the property is on the left side of the road.
