In the aerial photo above we are taking a look at “The Tracts At Cave Hollow”. We are looking over Highway 5 at the start of the easement road.
“Cave Hollow” is one of our “Homesteader Friendly Rural Developments”. This simply means that the standard Property Covenant requiring a minimum 600 square foot concrete foundation for a residence does NOT apply to the tracts at “Cave Hollow”. If you have been waiting for a property for your “tiny home” or for your “shipping container home” then you may have finally found what you are looking for! You can even use an RV or a camper as a residence (as long as it is no more than 15 years old when moved onto the property).
Cave Hollow is very private, yet is still close to some great towns (for shopping and employment) as well as major lakes (for fishing, swimming and boating)!
We have uploaded a couple of videos of Cave Hollow West, which show the general layout. To watch a drone video of the Tracts at Cave Hollow please click on the video below:

Many of the tracts at Cave Hollow do have mature timber. As with any other tract, no timber may not be cut or sold until the property has been paid for in full. We are often able to give written permission to cut timber if you are clearing/expanding a building site or a trail (contact us for details on this).
These private tracts could be great for camping, hunting, building, recreation, or all of the above!
The map above shows the property’s location (property shown outlined in red) relative to Gainesville, Missouri, Mountain Home, Arkansas, Bull Shoals Lake and Norfork Lake.

The topo map above shows how these private tracts are situated. The easement roads which border the tracts (purple lines on map above) run along two long ridges, which is what gives many of the tracts their excellent views. The tracts are generally the highest by the easement road and they slope down as you move away from the road.
There is a small creek called “Little Creek” which crosses over man of the tracts at Cave Hollow. This creek flows at different times throughout the year and is always a good source of cool rocks and fossils!
Although these tracts could be excellent for hunting, camping and recreation, they can also be used for building a home or a cabin. Power/phone are less than a mile away and are not currently run throughout the development. We had good cell service from several locations on the property (better cell service on the south end) and the internet in our truck was working fine (it is cellular based wifi).

Cave Hollow Property Covenants
All of the tracts at Cave Hollow have setback distances from the easement road(s). These setback areas are also designated utility easements so that owners may have the option of electric service in the future. All buildings, homesites, parking areas, storage areas, etc. must be at least 100 feet from the centerline of the easement road (this area acts as a privacy setback as well as a utility easement). Power is NOT currently within the development.
So, when you choose your tract at Cave Hollow it is important that you keep in mind that your building/camping site MUST be at least 100 feet from the center of the easement road. In some cases this would mean having to hire someone with machinery in order to create a driveway/site for you – this would be at your expense (unless you purchase a tract with an existing driveway/site). In the city of Mountain Home you will find equipment rental if you decide to create your own driveway/site.
Fences/gates may not be placed within 50 feet of the centerline of the easement road(s) as this area is a designated road easement area. Although there is a 30 foot setback for building/storage from the sides and rear of each tract you CAN fence directly up to the sides and rear of each tract.
The photo above was taken from one of the tracts at Cave Hollow. What a view!
These tracts represent an excellent opportunity for building your own home or cabin as there are no building permits required in this area! You and your friends/family can build your own cabin without permits or inspections.
