Amazing opportunity to own a well-located tract of acreage AND have a custom cabin, private driveway and large yard area! This 5 acre tract at Cedar Gap Hollow will come with a free 20′ Converted Shipping Container as well as a long private driveway and a beautiful cleared site. The pictures of the shipping container in this listing are sample photos of the 20′ Converted Shipping Container. Your Container will be similar but will not be identical, as no two Containers are exactly alike.
Container with deck (deck is included and will be installed upon delivery of the Container).
In the photo above the security panels have been removed and are being stored behind the Container.
PLEASE NOTE: Currently, this private 5 acre tract does not have a cleared driveway or cleared building site and does NOT have the shipping container on site. You will have the opportunity to pick the actual location of your driveway, as well as your building site (or we can take care of that for you). You will get to choose how you would like the Container to be placed on the cleared building site (or we can take care of that for you). Choose your own view from the patio door of the Container!
Like most of the tracts on our website, this property is available with only $500 down. After you have made 12 monthly payments or paid at least $1,500 toward the down payment (whichever comes first) we will install the driveway and building site to your specifications – see details below.
After you have made 24 monthly payments or have paid at least $5,000 toward the down payment (whichever comes first) we will install the Converted Shipping Container on your site – see details below.
DETAILS ON CONTAINER, DRIVEWAY AND SITE:
The Driveway, Site and Container Package includes:
- Minimum 100 foot driveway roughed-in
- Minimum 1,000 square foot cleared site roughed-in
- 20′ Converted Shipping Container
- Delivery of Container
- On-site building and installation of the 8′ by 12′ deck
You can expand upon all of these options (which could change the price of the property) if you choose to do so. For example, you could go with a longer driveway, larger building site, larger Container, etc. – But, you don’t have to make those decisions yet! After you have purchased the property we encourage you to spend some time on it. Watch a few sunrises and sunsets… See where the deer tend to hang out…Then we can create your custom driveway and site based upon your favorite areas of the property!
The 20′ Converted Shipping Container is VERY cool! Check out the details below:
- Durable used 20′ shipping container (expect scratches, dents and surface rust on all used containers)
- Insulated vinyl patio door installed in welded steel frame
- Insulated vinyl window installed in welded steel frame
- Custom lockable security panels for patio door and window
- Keyed locks for end doors and for security panels for patio door and window
- All-weather flooring throughout the Container (heavy-duty vinyl flooring)
The Container is manufactured by The Survival Solution which is known for producing a VERY high-quality container that is specifically designed with your utmost security in mind! The security panels over the door and window can be locked while you are away from the Container, and they can either be opened or completely removed while you are using the Container.
The Converted Shipping Container is included with your purchase. Before delivery of your container, you will have the option of adding numerous features to your specific container. The Container is unfinished on the inside (other than the vinyl flooring). Although the 20′ Container that is included with your purchase is completely usable for a weekend retreat, before delivery of the Container you will have the option of upgrading in numerous ways including:
- Upgrading to a 40′ Container
- Upgrading to a “New” 20′ or 40′ Container (also known as a “One Trip” container because they have only made one trip across the ocean)
- Adding additional windows and/or doors
Much like your custom driveway and building site, you do NOT have to decide upon any Container upgrades right now. Your Container will be delivered to the property after you have made 24 monthly payments OR you have paid at least $5,000 toward the down payment of the property (whichever comes first). Even if you only make the minimum down payment of $500 and you never pay any additional down payment, your Container will still be delivered after 24 monthly payments. Prior to the delivery of the Container that you will have the option of adding Container “upgrades” which will change the price of the property. In general, we will finance up to 75% of the cost of “upgrades”.
We are VERY excited to be able to offer this package! To see a short movie about the Container, please click on the video below:
Now that you know the details of the Container, as well as the future private driveway and cleared site, please read below to see all of the details of the property itself.
This is a well-located tract not too far from Springfield, Missouri but still VERY private and rural. This acreage is located in a small Rural Development called “Cedar Gap Hollow” which is located within 3 miles of the popular “Cedar Gap Conservation Area” and only about 35 miles from Springfield, MO.
“Cedar Gap 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 “Cedar Gap 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!
PLEASE NOTE: “Cedar Gap Hollow” is a new Rural Development and we are currently in the process of having the easement road system smoothed out and widened. When you visit Cedar Gap Hollow please use caution and bring your four wheel drive (if possible).
The hunting and wildlife watching opportunities in this area are EXCELLENT with a large population of white-tailed deer as well as wild turkey. This property could also be suitable for off-grid building, homesteading, camping and recreation.

This property is fairly level on the west side. It slopes down gradually as you move to the east and then it levels out again on the east side.
The topo map above gives you an idea of the “lay of the land”. Topo maps can be confusing so be sure to check out the drone video below to see how the land is situated. The property is the highest on the west side. As you go east it stays level for a while and then begins to slope downward. It is the lowest on its east side.
Because this large tract has road frontage on both its west and east sides, you will have several options for the placement of your driveway, site and container. If you wanted to take advantage of the beautiful views we can create your custom site on the west side of the property. If you prefer to be very private and secluded, we can create your custom site on the east side of the property.

This property is located in one of the most desirable areas of the Ozarks. “Cedar Gap Hollow” is located in westernmost Wright County, Missouri. This area has a PROVEN track record of a large and active deer population AND is within a short driving distance to Springfield (which is the largest and most popular city in southern Missouri).
The “Cedar Gap Conservation Area” can be found just a short distance to the south of this property (roughly a mile to the south). The Conservation Area is generally open for public use including hunting and hiking. You can set up your camp/cabin on your private tract and also have use of hundreds of acres in the Conservation Area which is within about two miles of the property!

This particular tract is located in a section of Cedar Gap Hollow which is known as “Cedar Gap Hollow East”. The tracts within Cedar Gap Hollow East are excellent for hunting. We had placed several “game-cams” on some of the tracts within Cedar Gap Hollow East and we got numerous photos of multiple deer including quite a few large bucks. We also got photos of a large number of wild turkeys as well as some mischievous raccoons!
DIRECTIONS: To get to the property from Springfield, Missouri just go east on Highway 60 from about 30 miles to the town of Seymour. Now continue heading east on Highway 60 for about 5 miles and look for the road going north off of Highway 60 which is called “Connector Road”. As a landmark, you will see Highway O going south and this is where you will go NORTH onto the “Connector Road”. Go north for about 1/8 of a mile on the “Connector Road” and then the gravel easement road will begin. Take the gravel easement road northerly to the property.
Please be sure to print out the maps/directions from this listing page when you visit the property. We will be happy to email the maps to you if you would like. Please contact us before making the trip to the property as there may be a locked cable/gate toward the start of the easement road. We will be happy to provide you with the combo for the lock.
Property within an hour of Springfield has been an excellent investment over the last several decades. As Springfield continues to grow the demand for tracts in this area continues to grow at a rapid rate. Lock in your property now, while you still can!

All of the tracts at Cedar Gap Hollow have setback distances from the easement road(s). These setback areas are also designated utility easements so that all owners shall have the option of electric service. 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).
