SORRY, THIS PROPERTY HAS BEEN SOLD!
Amazingly rare acreage at Cedar Gap Hollow with a LIVE SPRING as well as a power line directly on site. This tract borders a paved road along its entire south side and a gravel easement road along its north side. This unique tract also has some beautiful mature timber as well as a private driveway and small cleared site for camping, hunting, building and more! The small creek bed toward the north side of the property offers some excellent opportunities for hunting for arrowheads, fossils and cool rock formations!
This is Tract 72 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 5.344 acres in size.
Super rare tract with a live spring 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 large tract already has a private driveway that leads back to a cleared site that might be useful for camping, building or hunting. The private driveway and cleared site can be found on the north side of the property and are accessed 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 the existing driveway and site are on the north side of the property and are accessed via the gravel easement road system. Although you could clear a driveway coming off of the paved road on the south side of the property (Lucky Road) the land slopes down steeply along most of the south side so you would likely have to come in off of the paved road almost right at the southwest corner of the property.
In the winter-time aerial photo above we are looking southerly from over about the middle of the property. Although it is very hard to see in the photo, the red truck is parked on the paved road (Lucky Road) at the south side of the property (it is behind some cedar trees). This property does appear to have quite a bit of mature timber near the middle and south end of the property. Is the distance you can see Highway 60.
In the aerial photo above we are now looking down at the north end of the property (while facing north). The white truck is parked at the end of the private driveway while facing the easement road. On the left side of the photo you can see a small excavator which was enlarging the mouth of the live spring on the north end of the property. The spring flows out of the hillside then flows down the hill and actually goes under the private driveway (there was a culvert installed recently which you can just barely see in the photo above). Once the spring flows under the driveway, it enters the little creek bed on the property and flows easterly. In the photo above the spring water looks “murky” BUT that is only because the excavator had been digging around the mouth of the spring. Generally the spring water is crystal clear (and ice-cold).
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 72 which is 5.344 acres in size and is located on the left side of the aerial photo above.
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 5.344 acre tract at Cedar Gap Hollow with live spring, paved road frontage, long private driveway, mature timber, cleared site, small creek bed and electric is $79,500 and we offer INSTANT owner financing with just $1,500 down.

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 photo above we are facing west on Lucky Road at the south end of the property. The property is on the right side of the road in this photo. The building on the left was a restaurant/farm store before Covid (we hope it opens back up because their food was delicious).
The aerial photo above was taken while facing northerly while we look toward the property. The property is basically right behind the little red building (the old restaurant/farm store). Although there is currently no driveway coming off of the paved road, there is a driveway and site coming off of the gravel easement road on the north side of the property (which is also where you will find the live spring).
The photo below is a close-up of the survey map which shows this property (Tract 72, which is toward the lower left side of the map). This property is 5.344 acres in size. It borders the gravel easement road along its entire north side and it borders 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 Lucky Road along its south side. The small creek bed crosses over the north side of the property, and the electric line crosses over the south side of the property (in two locations).
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. On the northeast side of the property, it is fairly level where it borders the easement road (and where the driveway comes off of the easement road). As you pull down the private driveway you cross over the gravel creek bed and then turn left and go up a hill to the cleared site.
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 and Lucky Road, 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 72) 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 72), 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.
Let’s watch some videos – And we’ve got quite a few videos of this one!!

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 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 72) 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” (if you wish to visit the south side of the property). Follow Lucky Road until it almost ends and you will see the property on the right. There are paved roads all the way to the south side of this property BUT there is no way to pull onto the south side of the property because there is no driveway.
To drive to the north side of the property (where you will find the driveway, cleared site and live spring), 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!
What can you do on your new property at 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 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 looking southerly while over the north end of the property. At the very bottom of the photo is the gravel easement road. The private driveway leads southerly from the easement road – it crosses over the creek bed and then takes a sharp right and goes up a small hill to the cleared site. 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. The last time we visited the cleared site the driveway was “soft” on the area where it turns left and goes up the hill. We had to use four wheel drive in order to get onto the cleared site. 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). Toward the right side of the photo you can see a small excavator which was enlarging the “mouth” of the live spring (which is why the spring water looks murky in the photo).
In the aerial photo above we are looking down at the “mouth” of the live spring. It had been trickling out of the ground for years and when it was dug out with the excavator it unleashed quite a bit of water! Although we definitely do not guarantee any spring to be “year around” this particular spring has been flowing every time we have visited the area for the last 1-2 years. After this photo was taken the guys dug a small “spring pond” about 100 feet down the hill from the mouth of the spring. It has since filled up with crystal clear spring water. We do not know if the little spring pond will hold up, but we hope that it does!
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 we are checking out some of 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 this tract appear to contain quite a bit of large, mature timber.
