SORRY, THIS PROPERTY HAS BEEN SOLD!
Special property with a cool “hunter’s cabin” in a private location that is just a short drive from Springfield, Missouri!
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 accessed with a private, minimum maintenance gravel easement road (for property owners and their guests). Bring your four wheel drive when you visit this very private tract.
In the photo above we are checking out the yard by the cabin. The cabin is tucked into the property and is not visible from the road, making it a VERY private setting.
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 is Tract 44 at Cedar Gap Hollow, it is 5.173 acres in size.
PLEASE NOTE: This property has been leased out for about the last two years. The person who was using the property had used it as a “Home Base” where he would spend a few days every couple of weeks (he was a truck driver). He has now had a change of plans and he will not be using the property which is why it is available for sale. Most of the photos/videos in this listing were taken just before he started to lease the property which would have been about two years ago. The grass will have grown up quite a bit in the yard and we have not been back inside the cabin to see what it looks like.
Although we do have a few recent photos (taken this winter) we have no recent videos of the yard or the cabin. The gentleman who was leasing the property mentioned that there was some trash/debris in the yard and you will see that trash/debris in the recent photos below.
Additionally, the gentleman who was leasing the property had placed his RV in the yard near the cabin and you will see the RV in the recent photos below BUT it has now been removed from the property.
If you have any questions about any of that please let us know – thanks.
Below, we have included several recent photos that were taken AFTER the property had been leased but BEFORE the RV has been moved off of the property (it has now been moved off of the property). You will also see in the photos the trash/debris we mentioned earlier, although it looks like most of it would fit into the back of a pickup or a small trailer – the recent photos of the property are below (all of these recent photos were taken in the winter so you will not see any leaves on the trees):
In the winter-time aerial photo above we are looking westerly over the property and the white truck is parked on the easement road. You can see the unfinished cabin in the background. The RV that you see is not included in the sale and will be removed from the property.
The photo above gives us another view of the property, from a slightly different angle. It looks as though there may actually be two driveways into the property, but that one of them has not been used. We
In the photo above it appears that we can see the trash/debris that the gentleman who was leasing the property mentioned. It looks like it may be building materials or supplies but it is hard to tell from the air. Off to the right you can see the little cabin on the property.
In the last “recent” photo (above) we are looking westerly over this private tract. This area was logged several years ago but this winter-time photo shows us that there are still a large number of tall trees on the property. This tract actually has road frontage on two sides – the white truck is parked on the easement road which borders the east side of the property and if you look past the cabin (and toward the right of the center of the photo) you can see the gravel road which borders the west side of the property. It is always nice to have multiple access points into your property!
The rest of this listing is basically unchanged from when the property was leased out a couple of years ago. The photos above (the winter photos) are recent and the photos and videos below (in the rest of the listing) are about two years old. Although the gentleman purchasing the property said he would be cleaning up the trash/debris (that you saw in the photos above) we are not able to know for sure if that is something he will do or have the time to do.
Please do feel free to view the property before making a down payment. Although we assume the cabin/property is in essentially the same condition as the “recent” photos (winter time photos) it is always helpful to view a property in person before purchase, if possible. If we are able to visit the cabin/property in the near future then we will post some very current pictures to this listing page (but we can not guarantee that we will have the time to visit the property).

In the aerial photo above we are looking westerly over the property, from above the cabin. The white truck is parked well off of the easement road. In fact, the spot where the white truck is parked is about the same spot as where the RV is parked in the recent photos toward the top of this listing page.
The aerial map above shows how this tract is situated. It borders the private easement road along two sides giving you access to numerous parts of the property. The driveway comes in off of the easement road on the east side and goes down a hill into the yard at the cabin. The driveway and parking area are shown as the yellow dashed line on the aerial map above. The white thing that you see within the parking area is the RV that is being removed from the property. The unfinished cabin is labeled on the map above but it was hard to see so we added a green square to help show where the cabin is located.
This property is the highest on its east side and it slopes down as you move to the west. The building site for the cabin was chosen for the view and the yard area, but there are many other beautiful spots on this large tract.
The topo map above gives you an idea of the “lay of the land”. Topo maps can be confusing so be sure to also check out the drone video below to see how the land is situated. This tract is the highest on the east and slopes down as you go to the west.

This particular tract is located in a section of Cedar Gap Hollow which is known as “Cedar Gap Hollow West”. The tracts within Cedar Gap Hollow West are very private and are excellent for hunting. We had placed several “game-cams” on some of the tracts within Cedar Gap Hollow West and we got numerous photos of multiple deer including quite a few large bucks (and dozens of does). We also got photos of a large number of wild turkeys as well as some mischievous raccoons!
The map above shows the tracts at “Cedar Gap Hollow West”. This listing if for Tract 44 which can be found toward the bottom of the aerial photo above.
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. As soon as you are on the gravel easement road you will see a couple of older homes on the left side of the road, as soon as you pass these homes you will be within Cedar Gap Hollow.

Cedar Gap Hollow Property Covenants
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).
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 shows a young pumpkin in the garden area (near the small shed/doghouse at the edge of the yard). This photo was taken just before the property was leased out but we expect that the garden is still producing pumpkins.
The view could actually be vastly improved by removing some of the smaller timber.
