This large acreage has been leased out for several years and is now available for sale! 5.68 surveyed acres at “The Tracts at Chalk Bluff” in Shannon County, Missouri.
Not only is this rare tract about 1/4 mile from the famous Jack’s Fork River, it is even closer to the National Scenic Riverways (which gives access to the river). This special tract borders a small creek along its southern boundary and we recently discovered that directly across the small creek is a large tract of Public Land! That means you can go directly from your private acreage into the Public Land for additional hunting, hiking and recreation.
The aerial photo above shows the little creek, next to where it borders the south end of the property for about 200 feet. Although it is most likely a “wet-weather creek” it seems to have water in it every time we get the drone close enough to snap a photo.
Aerial Map Above
The property is the highest on its north side (by the easement road). As you move southerly it starts to slope down quickly toward the creek and then appears to level out once you get close to the creek.
The Tracts at Chalk Bluff represent possibly the best recreational acreage that you will ever find (plus they are buildable). These “Off-Grid” tracts are located just down the road from the famous Chalk Bluff which overlooks the very popular Jack’s Fork River. The Jack’s Fork River is surrounded by thousands of acres of land within the Ozark National Scenic Riverways. These tracts are also within about a mile of the Rocky Creek Conservation Area which gives you access into THOUSANDS of acres of public land for additional hunting and recreation!
This property is Tract 19 at Chalk Bluff. It is 5.68 acres in size and it borders the gravel easement road along its north side and it borders the creek bed along its south side.
When we were looking at recent maps of the area, we noticed that the property directly across the creek bed is owed by the State of Missouri which usually indicates that it is Public Land that will become part of a larger tract of Public Land and will be open to the public for hunting and recreation!
The aerial photo above was taken while over the north side of the property, looking toward the south (or southwest). In this photo you can see how the land appears to be level by the gravel road and then stays level for a while as you gou south, before dropping down steeply to the creek at the south end of the property.
The aerial map above shows the property as well as the gravel road and the creek which border the property. The purple shaded area is the Ozarks National Scenic Riverways which encompasses the Jack’s Fork River. Within the purple area you can also see the location of the actual “Chalk Bluff” on this map. The shaded area on the far right side of the map is part of the Rocky Creek Conservation Area which is a State Conservation Area that is generally open to the public for hunting, camping, trail riding and exploring. So in addition to having your own private 5.68 acres on which you can hunt, camp and build a home or cabin, you also are within 1-2 minutes of thousands of acres of additional land which can be used for hunting and recreation! Also, you are within about 1/2 a mile of the Jack’s Fork River which is a VERY popular river in the Ozarks that is known for its unspoiled beauty.
The map above is a road map showing how the property is situated. About a mile to the west you will find Chalk Bluff, the Jack’s Fork River and the Ozark National Scenic Riverways (shows as the purple area on the map). Less than about a mile to the east you will find the Rocky Creek Conservation Area which contains a total of over 3,000 acres of public land for additional hunting and recreation. The green shaded areas on the map above are part of the Mark Twain National Forest which gives you even MORE Public Land for hunting and recreation.

As you probably already know, it is getting harder and harder to find a rural property on which you can hunt, camp and build. In fact, we have been selling owner financed real estate for over 20 years and we have never had such a hard time finding new tracts!
The Tracts at Chalk Bluff are off-grid so plan on “unplugging” and “unwinding” while you use your acreage. Cell phone service seems fairly good in most areas here (we have Verizon, although others probably work) and we did have good wi-fi signal in our vehicle. Get “off-grid” while still staying in touch with the rest of the world!
In the video below we explore the property from the air, with our drone:
In the next video, we explore a small part of the north side of the property on foot:
In this last video, we use the MapRight interactive map (LandId Interactive map) to explore the property and the area:
Access into “The Tracts at Chalk Bluff” is via several miles of gravel roads (bring your truck or suv). The main gravel road runs through the tracts and then runs past the actual “Chalk Bluff” on its way toward the Jacks Fork River.
This area is VERY well known for hunting, especially for deer and turkey. You will almost certainly see deer and turkey on your private tract, and for additional hunting you can check out the Rocky Creek Conservation Area which is just to the east (you drive right through it on your way to the property), or you can cross over the creek at the south end of the 5.68 acres and the map shows that you would then be on about 1,500 acres of Public Land.
The Interactive Map (below) is a great way to get familiar with the area and with the property:
Please refer to our interactive map above (MapRight Map) for additional property views and information. The property boundaries are approximate but it should be very helpful for exploring the property.

The topo map above shows how Tract 18 at Chalk Bluff is situated. The property is accessed via the gravel road(s) which borders the entire north and northeast sides of the property. The property appears to be basically level along its north side and the map shows that it stays level for a little while after coming off of the road, and then it slopes down quickly as you get closer to the creek at the south side of the property. The topo map actually appears to show that there is a fairly large level area adjacent to the creek on the property (but we have not hiked down to the creek to see).
Feel free to check out the property and explore the area. If you are coming from the west (through Springfield, MO) just go east on Highway 60 to the town of Birch Tree. Go about 5 miles to the east, past Birch Tree, and then go north onto Highway E. Now go about 10 miles on Highway E and then go west on County Road 412, which is a gravel road. If you get to Highway 106 then you went a little too far on Highway E. Once you are on County Road 412 you will go about 6-7 miles until you get to the Tracts at Chalk Bluff. The last 3-4 miles of gravel roads are Forest Service roads and you will need to drive fairly slowly.
MapRight will be very helpful when you come to view the property but please do watch the short video on our F.A.Q. page that explains how to use MapRight with the interactive map within this listing page.
The map above might be helpful when you drive out to the property (although it would be best to have all of the maps/directions as well as the MapRight app). The map above actually only shows the north part of “The Tracts At Chalk Bluff” but this tract is just to the south of the red highlighted area on the map (on the south side of the road).
In the aerial photo above, we are facing south and we are looking down at the white truck which is parked at the northeast end of the property (where the two gravel roads come together).
All of the Tracts at Chalk Bluff are subject to the 6 basic restrictions as shown on our website (no mobile homes, etc.). Homes or cabins built on the property must have a minimum concrete foundation size of 600 square feet (a simple 20 X 30 cabin would meet this requirement).
If you are looking for a property for “Homesteading” please let us know and we can try to locate one for you. Because The Tracts at Chalk Bluff have the standard Property Covenants you would need to build at least a 600 square foot structure on a full concrete foundation in order to use the property as a residence (and many “Homesteaders” will not have that in their plans).
Also please note that timber with a stump diameter larger than 8 inches (measured at ground level) may not be cut, sold or removed until the property has been paid for in full (we can often give written exceptions for creating building sites and driveways).
The map above shows some of the tracts at Chalk Bluff and the Jack’s Fork River, as well as the Ozark National Scenic Riverways which is shown outlined in green (it’s a cool map but it is probably not too helpful as a road map, since it only shows paved roads). The Jack’s Fork River runs northeast through the town of Eminence and then connects with the Current River. People drive from all over the country to visit this amazing area!
In the aerial photo above we are looking west from just past the west side of the property (the property itself is directly beneath us so it is not visible in this photo. Toward the middle of the photo you can see the actual bluff that is called “Chalk Bluff”. You can also just barely see the Jack’s Fork River as it winds through the valleys and passes by Chalk Bluff.
