5.144 Acre Tract at Cedar Gap Hollow – ID#CG55

PLEASE NOTE: This surveyed tract at Cedar Gap Hollow had never been offered for sale (until recently). We had originally planned on doing some “clean-up” to the property but because of other projects we simply have never had the opportunity to spend any time on this private tract. So, instead of doing some “clean-up” and creating a driveway/building site on the property we have decided to go ahead and offer it for sale and we are offering an $8,000 discount on the purchase price because we do understand that this property will not be anywhere near its potential until it has had the brush-piles cleaned up and has had a driveway and a site created for camping, building or hunting.

Here’s a great chance to grab a Cedar Gap Hollow tract AND to get it at a large discount!

Now, on the the Listing Page for this “Brand New” tract at Cedar Gap Hollow…

This surveyed tract is 5.144 Acres in size and it can be found on the far west side of Cedar Gap Hollow. The entire east side of the property borders the gravel easement road for about 1,500 feet.

The aerial photo/map above shows how this property is situated. The property borders the easement road along its entire east side but it currently has no driveway which would lead off of the easement road and into the property. On the map above we have marked two potential locations which may be good areas for a driveway/site on the property. These sites would be beyond the setback distance from the easement road if they were created as is shown on the map. Because this tract has a large amount of road frontage it offers you many different options when you create a driveway into the property – but because there is a setback distance of 100 feet from the easement road there is less “buildable” area on this property than on some of the other tracts at Cedar Gap Hollow. This was taken into account when pricing this property.

A “fixer-upper” tract of land at Cedar Gap Hollow! – Surveyed 5.144 acre property with privacy as well as views, deer and turkey. We are calling it a “fixer-upper” because it has several VERY large brush piles which line much of the east side of the property. These large brush piles tend to give the property somewhat of an unsightly appearance and the value of the property would likely be greatly increased if they were removed/used or burned (please do not burn the brush piles without first contacting the local fire department, as they would want to be aware of anyone burning brush piles of this size as it could be unsafe if the fire were to spread).

Or, you could certainly leave the brush piles exactly as they are and they will eventually rot away and the property will be restored to its beautiful appearance.

This very well located tract is located just a short drive from Springfield, Missouri but it still VERY private and rural. This acreage is located in a small Rural Development called “Cedar Gap Hollow” which is located about 3 miles north of the popular “Cedar Gap Conservation Area” and only about 35 miles from Springfield, MO.

This property is suitable for hunting and recreation (as well as being buildable), but if you have been looking with a property where you can drink your morning coffee while admiring a spectacular view, then you may have just found it!

“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” makes use of a minimum maintenance gravel easement road system. Please use a four wheel drive when visiting any of the tracts within the development. If the weather has been bad, make sure you have a GOOD four wheel drive (or wait for the weather to improve). Because this particular tract is located at the far west side of Cedar Gap Hollow you will definitely want to use a four wheel drive to access the property.

In the aerial photo above we are looking westerly over the property. In the photo you can see the huge brush piles which extend across much of the east side of the property. Off in the distance you can see Highway 60 which is a little over a mile to the south of the property.

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 is Tract 55 at Cedar Gap Hollow and it is 5.144 acres in size.

TERMS OF SALE

The sales price for this private 5.144 acre tract at Cedar Gap Hollow was scheduled to be $42,500 when it went “live” on our website. BUT, since we have not had the time to do any “clean-up” of the brush piles or to create any driveway/building site on the property we have decided to offer a $8,000 PRICE REDUCTION on the property, which brings the sales price down to $34,500. 

If you have been waiting for an opportunity to grab a low-priced tract then this may be what you have been waiting for! Tracts at Cedar Gap Hollow are in demand, and we are excited to be able to offer such a large discount on this tract.

Based on the reduced sales price of $34,500, with your Down Payment in the amount of $1,500 the monthly payment will be $345.63. With your $1,500 Down Payment you will automatically receive our reduced annual interest rate of 7 3/4%.

With a $2,500 down payment the annual interest rate drops to 6 3/4% and the payment drops to $318.18 a month. With a $5,000 down payment the annual interest rate drops to 5 3/4% and the payment drops to $279.98 a month. These payments are all based on about a 15 year payment schedule. Property taxes & road maintenance fees total only $35 a month and this is already included in the monthly payment amount. There are NO prepayment penalties and NO hidden fees.

PLEASE NOTE that you have a full 12 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 decide to pay off your property (your loan to us) at any time within the next 5 years you will get a DISCOUNT in the amount of 10% of the purchase price of the property. On this property, that would be a discount in the amount of $3,450 for an early payoff!

The Tracts at Cedar Gap Hollow are sold through our partner company which is Regions Land Company. The sales process is the same as you see on the InstantAcres website, but the paperwork will shows Regions Land Company as the “seller”.

In the aerial photo above we are facing northerly and the property is on the left side of the gravel road. The white truck is parked on the property near the south end of the property.

The aerial map above shows how this tract is situated, relative to Highway 60. The yellow lines on the map are the gravel easement roads within Cedar Gap Hollow.

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 (and the “Intro Video”) below to see how the land is situated. This property is the highest on its east side by the easement road, and it slopes down as you move away from the road and toward the center 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 map above shows the “Cedar Gap Conservation Area” which is just south of Cedar Gap Hollow.

Within just a few miles of the property you will find several small towns, as well as some great rivers and creeks. You are also within driving distance of the Mark Twain National Forest which gives you literally thousands of acres of additional land for hunting, trail riding and recreation.

The interactive map below is a great way to explore the property and the area, right from your home. You can zoom in, zoom out and even select different “base layers” to show the roads and areas in or around the property. You can zoom in and out by clicking on the “+” or “-” buttons on the right side of the interactive map:

The map above was created with a program called “MapRight”. The property boundaries are approximate but this map should be very helpful for exploring the property. This tract has been surveyed and MapRight should be helpful if you would like to find the survey markers.

About the free “MapRight” app that you can use to help you explore your property:

If you download the free “MapRight” app to your phone or tablet then it is generally fairly easy to use it to locate your property. After you have the app on your phone/tablet simply go to the listing page for your property (on whatever device you have downloaded the app to) and locate the actual interactive map on the listing page for the specific property. Toward the top left corner of the Interactive Map you will see a link that says “View Full Screen”. Click on this link and the webpage will ask you if you want to open the Interactive Map within the app (which must already be on your phone/tablet). After you say “Yes” to this it will ask permission to access your GPS (this is necessary and your GPS must also be on). After that, the interactive map should open up within the “MapRight” app on your screen AND there should be a colored dot on the map to indicate right where you are. It is BY FAR the best way to drive to the property and to explore the boundaries. Give us a call or send us an email if you have questions about this. Also, our office is only about 15 minutes west of Cedar Gap Hollow and if you stop by we will be happy to help you get it all set up on your phone or tablet.

You do NOT need any type of subscription to “MapRight” in order to use the app. In fact, many people tell us it works better if you do NOT get a subscription or any for any type of membership. Just download the app and then follow the instructions above. And remember, we are here to help if you have trouble getting it to work!

PLEASE NOTE: Recently, we have been told that MapRight has changed their program and that they now require a subscription to use it as shown above. If this is true, then you could potentially just get a free “trial subscription” to see if it is suitable for your needs.

Please remember that MapRight is in no way intended or able to replace a survey and the MapRight boundaries shown on the map are only approximate.

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 (keep going straight off of Connector Road). As soon as you are on the gravel easement road you will see a couple of small homes on the left side of the road, as soon as you pass these homes you will be within Cedar Gap Hollow. Now proceed along the gravel easement roads to the property.

In addition to using the MapRight app, 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!

Cedar Gap Hollow Property Covenants

All of the tracts at Cedar Gap Hollow have setback distances from the easement road(s) for privacy. These setback areas are also designated utility easements so that owners may 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 (as long as it is outside of the setback distances from the roads).

In the photo above we are checking out a potential building/camping site toward the north side of the property.

Although it is difficult to see in the photos on this listing page, this private acreage has a beautiful view to the north (you can see for miles). The photo above was taken from the northeast side of the property.

As you may be able to see while looking at the photo above, the view could be greatly improved by clearing some of the small trees and brush from the property.

This tract represents what may be an excellent opportunity for building your own off-grid 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.
