SORRY, THIS PROPERTY HAS BEEN SOLD!
PLEASE NOTE: This stunning property has been leased out for a year or two and is now available for sale! Most of the videos/pictures in this listing were taken about 1-2 years ago, right after the driveway and private site were installed on the property.
The folks who were leasing the property had a couple of “portable cabins” brought out to the site and we have been told that they mainly used the property on weekends as a “weekend getaway”.
When they vacated the property the portable buildings were removed, along with most of the “stuff” that they had accumulated on the property. We visited the property recently and it does appear to be in good condition although there was some miscellaneous stuff remaining on the cleared site (recent photos are at the top of this listing page). They also did leave some pieces of wood and wooden pallets at the edge of the building site. We will be leaving the wood/pallets as the new buyer may find them useful for firewood or possibly even for a woodworking project.
As with any of our available tracts, please do feel free to make a personal inspection of the property before making a down payment, so that you will have the most updated information possible about the tract.
Call us in the office with any questions, thanks!
Now, on to the original listing for this special acreage! Also, we have added the recent photos which show the “stuff” that was left on the cleared site. These are the first 6 photos directly within the listing and also the first 6 photos at the side/bottom of the listing page (depending upon what device you are using to view this listing page).
Very rare acreage at Cedar Gap Hollow with PAVED ACCESS and electric DIRECTLY on the property. This tract also has some beautiful mature timber as well as a long private driveway and small cleared site for camping, hunting, building and more! The small creek bed in the middle of the property offers some excellent opportunities for hunting for arrowheads, fossils and cool rock formations!
This is Tract 71 at Cedar Gap Hollow in western Wright County, Missouri. It is about 35 miles east of Springfield, Missouri. This property is surveyed with the corners marked and is 5.195 acres in size.
The 6 photos below are recent photos which were taken at the cleared site tucked within the property. This “stuff” was left behind by the folks who were leasing the property as a vacation spot.
As we mentioned earlier, we are hoping to remove the “stuff” in the photos above within the next week although it could take several weeks (depending upon the weather, etc.) – we plan to leave the wood although we will ask our guys to see if they can pile it up toward the edge of the cleared site so that it is out of the way. Generally, we are not able to do “clean up” on a property but our office is actually only about 20 miles west of Cedar Gap Hollow so we are confident that we can find the time to clean up the “stuff” on this otherwise awesome property.
The rest of this listing page is basically the same listing page that was used 1-2 years ago when the site/driveway had just been cleared and the property had been leased out.
Excellent tract at Cedar Gap Hollow South which is located toward the south of Cedar Gap Hollow. This particular tract is one of the VERY FEW tracts at Cedar Gap Hollow that has an electric line DIRECTLY ON the property, giving you easy access to power if you ever need it. This is also one of the ONLY tracts at Cedar Gap Hollow that can be accessed via a PAVED County Road (Lucky Road) on its south end. It also has access to the north side via the gravel easement road system at Cedar Gap Hollow.
This well-located acreage is not too far from Springfield, Missouri but is 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 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: Almost all of the tracts at “Cedar Gap Hollow” are accessed via private gravel easement roads. A four wheel drive is highly recommended for all tracts at Cedar Gap Hollow. A four wheel drive not only gives you much more traction, but it generally gives you more clearance than a two wheel drive vehicle, and that can be necessary on gravel easement roads. This particular tracts DOES have direct frontage on a paved County Road, but please keep in mind that in order to drive down the long driveway that leads to the cleared site on the property, you would still likely want to have a four wheel drive (especially if it has been raining).
In the winter-time aerial photo above we are looking northwesterly from over the south side of the property. The white truck tis parked at the very end of the paved road (Lucky Road) and is just pulling off of the private driveway into the property. The start of the private driveway was a little “soft” so we had a load of gravel hauled onto it (which you can see in the photo). To the left, you can see Highway 60. The private driveway starts at the very end of Lucky Road, and goes northerly (down the hill) and ends at the cool cleared site which is tucked deep into the mature timber on the property.
In the aerial photo above we are looking southerly from over the small cleared site on the property. You can see the mature timber all over the place!
Cedar Gap Hollow South is an area of about 20 tracts located toward the south side of Cedar Gap Hollow (as shown on the map above). Since these tracts are located toward the south side of this rural development, they tend to have better access to Highway 60 than many of the other tracts within the development. This listing is for Tract 71 which is 5.195 acres in size and is located on the left side of the aerial photo above.
You will notice on the aerial map above that Tract 71 appears to have direct frontage on Highway 60. While the south end of Tract 71 does border the north side of the Highway right-of-way, you would not be able to access the property off of Highway 60 because there is not driveway or approach (and you would not be able to install one as the highway department would not permit it). But, this property does have access off of Lucky Road (paved road) which runs to about the southeast corner of the property.
The map above shows the “Cedar Gap Conservation Area” which is less than two miles south of the tracts at Cedar Gap Hollow. Springfield, Missouri is about 35 miles to the west.
The little town of Seymour, Missouri is about 5 miles west of these properties. Seymour has a wonderful “small town” feel and offers several restaurants and gas stations.
PLEASE NOTE: Because we do offer a “Trade Policy” on the tracts sold through our website, and because we do sometimes lease tracts for a period of several weeks/months, it is possible that this tract was either sold and/or leased prior to this listing. Although we do try to provide current pictures/videos of all properties, we are not generally able to inspect all individual properties prior to offering them for resale (in the event that they had already been sold or leased). We always recommend that you make a personal visit to an available property before making a down payment, as it is possible that a previous owner or renter has left debris/supplies/stuff behind on the property when it was vacated.
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.
The full sales price for this VERY RARE 5.195 acre tract at Cedar Gap Hollow with paved road frontage, long private driveway, mature timber, cleared site and electric is $58,500 and we offer INSTANT owner financing with just $1,500 down.
With your $1,500 down payment you will automatically get our reduced interest rate of 7 3/4% and your monthly payment will be $571.53.
With a $2,500 down payment the interest rate drops to 6 3/4% and the payment drops to $530.55 a month. With a $5,000 down payment the interest rate drops to 5 3/4% and the payment drops to $479.27 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 TWELVE 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 pay off your property (your loan to us) at any time within the next 5 years you will receive a DISCOUNT in the amount of 10% of the purchase price of the property! On this property that would save you $5,850 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”.
The aerial photo above was taken while facing northerly while over the south side of the property. The property slopes down as you drive north toward the cleared site. It then continues to slope down to the little creek bed. Once you cross over the creek bed it slopes back up until you reach the gravel easement road at the north side of the property.
The photo below is a close-up of the survey map which shows this property (Tract 71, which is toward the lower left side of the map). This property is 5.195 acres in size. It borders the gravel easement road along its entire north side and it borders the “right-of-way” for Highway 60 and for Lucky Road along its south side. Lucky Road is shown as “Old Highway 60” on the map below.
The maps below show an approximation of the boundaries of the property. For the precise boundaries please refer to the survey map above.
The winter-time aerial map above shows how this tract is situated. It borders the private easement road along its north side and it borders the “right-of-way” for Highway 60 and Lucky Road along its south side. The small creek bed crosses over the middle of the property and the electric line crosses over the south side of the property.
This property is the highest toward its south side (where it borders Lucky Road). As you move northerly from Lucky Road the property slopes down until you get to the creek bed. After you cross over the creek bed, the property rises back up as you move toward the north 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 (and other videos) in this listing, which will help to show how the land is situated.
Please Note: Because this tract (as well as a few other tracts) border the “right-of-way” of Highway 60, there is an existing “billboard easement” on the south 100 feet of the properties. There is no billboard in place (and there may never be any billboard in place) but we wanted to make everyone aware of the easement. The “billboard easement” only applies to the south 100 feet of the property. You would not be responsible for the maintenance of any billboard that was ever placed within the 100 foot easement. On this particular tract (Tract 71) the billboard easement does not appear to make much of a difference at all to the property – because you are not able to build within 100 feet of Lucky Road anyway. The survey map below shows the location of the “billboard easement”:
The photo above shows the location of the “billboard easement” on the south 100 feet of Tracts 69-72. On this particular tract (Tract 71), the south 100 feet would likely be usable for building anyway, because of the setback distance from Lucky Road (100 foot setback). The billboard easement does NOT limit your ability to use the electric line on the property. If you have any questions about the billboard easement please contact us.

The map above shows the property’s location, relative to Springfield, Missouri (which is about 35 miles west of the property). The property is also within just a few miles of several small towns including Seymour, Missouri and Mansfield, Missouri.
The “Cedar Gap Conservation Area” can be found just a short distance to the south of this property (roughly two miles 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!
The map above shows the “Cedar Gap Conservation Area” which is less than two miles south of Cedar Gap Hollow.

This particular tract is located in a section of Cedar Gap Hollow which is known as “Cedar Gap Hollow South”. The tracts within Cedar Gap Hollow South are excellent for hunting. We had placed several “game-cams” on some of the tracts within Cedar Gap Hollow South (and in several spots throughout Cedar Gap Hollow) 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! Cedar Gap Hollow south is currently the only section of Cedar Gap Hollow that already has electric line(s) on site. This means that if you require electric it would generally be less expensive to have it run to a tract within Cedar Gap Hollow South.
This particular tract (Tract 71) is one of the very few tracts that already has an electric line running DIRECTLY across the property!
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”. Now go about 1/4 of a mile and take your first left on “Lucky Road”. Follow Lucky Road until it ends and you will see the driveway into the property in the right. There are paved roads all the way to the south side of this property.
To drive to the north side of the property, continue going straight on “Connector Road” (instead of turning on Lucky Road). The road will turn to gravel. Take the gravel easement road northerly, then once you cross over the small creek bed you will turn left onto the other gravel easement road, which will lead you to the north side of the property.
If you are unable to download the free “MapRight” app and get it set up, then please be sure to print out the maps/directions from this listing page when you visit the property. Even with the “MapRight” app, it is an excellent idea to have the printed maps in hand when you make the trip.
We will be happy to help you get set up with MapRight and we would also be happy to email the maps/directions to you. 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). 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 shared roadways (easement roads and County Road(s). 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 shared road(s). 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 (so long as the fence is not within the road easement).
In the photo above we are pulling into the cleared site on the property. It is not a large site but it does give you a convenient place to get off of the easement road and park your truck/RV. This photo was taken right after the site was created. Within a couple of years it will likely have grown some nice grass (although if you spread grass seed, that would really speed up the process).
In the aerial photo above we are looking southerly from over about the middle of the property. At the bottom of the photo you can just see the little creek bed which crosses over the property. Although it is not a “year around” creek, it often does have water (or at least some pools of water) in it. The day this photo was taken there was crystal clear water flowing through the creek bed. This photo also shows some of the beautiful mature time toward the middle and south side of the property. Toward the middle of this photo you can see the cleared site and the private driveway which leads up the hill to the paved road (Lucky Road).
This tract represents 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.
In the photo above the white truck is pulling onto the cleared site, which is tucked into the mature timber on the property. Although most of the tracts at Cedar Gap Hollow were logged a few years ago, the majority of this middle and south side of the tract appears to contain quite a bit of large, mature timber.
