SORRY, THIS PROPERTY HAS BEEN SOLD!
Wooded acreage at Cave Hollow in the heart of the Ozarks. Well-located tract that is loaded with opportunities for off-grid living as well as camping, hunting, investment and more!
This listing is for Tract 3 at Cave Hollow which is 5.121 acres in size.
PLEASE NOTE: We had originally thought that this tract was 4 acres in size BUT the recent survey confirms that it is actually 5.121 acres in size. Some of the photos/videos in this listing page may reference the property as being 4 acres in size (since they were created before the survey was complete), but it is a full 5.121 acres. Sorry for the confusion!
The maps in this listing were created before the survey was complete, and although they show the approximate boundary lines, we now know that the property is larger than we had thought it was. The surveyors put survey stakes in the corners of the property so you should be able to see the precise boundaries of the property when you make a trip out to it.
This particular tract already has a private driveway and a cleared site for building, camping and more!
ALSO PLEASE NOTE: This tract had been sold/leased for several months and the person who had been using the property did not appear to have done any clean-up when they left the property. There had left quite a bit of “stuff” behind, much of which appeared to just be trash (although some of it may be usable). After we discovered that they had left the “stuff” on the property we took fresh videos showing all of the “stuff”.
Below is the “ground video” showing the “messy” site. As always, please do feel free to personally visit this property before making a purchase so that you can see EXACTLY what it looks like in its present condition.

Next, we have a recent “drone video” showing the “messy” site. Please do feel free to personally visit this property before making a purchase so that you can see EXACTLY what it looks like in its present condition.

The tracts at Cave Hollow West offer fantastic opportunities for camping, hunting, off-grid building (including homesteading) and recreation. These tracts are accessed off of a private gravel easement road which comes off of a main road (Highway 5). Plus, these tracts are only about 10 minutes from a major lake (Bull Shoals Lake) and 20 minutes from a major city (Mountain Home, Arkansas).
Cave Hollow is located in an ideal location in the southern Missouri Ozarks. VERY private yet just a short drive to excellent cities and major lakes.
“Cave 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 “Cave Hollow”. If you have been waiting for a property for your “tiny home”, your “shipping container home” or your “off-grid” plans then you may have finally found what you are looking for!
PLEASE NOTE: Cave Hollow makes use of a private, gravel easement road system for access to the tracts. The easement roads are “minimum maintenance roads” that have been designed for use by a four-wheel drive truck/SUV. Having four-wheel drive is very helpful when you need it, and having a truck or an SUV gives you more clearance than a car, which can be very helpful if you encounter rough spots in the road. Please do not purchase a property in Cave Hollow unless you have a four wheel drive truck or suv.
Cave Hollow is an “Off-Grid” rural development. This means that power is not within the development. Power is within the area (within a mile of the subdivision) but has not been run to any tracts within Cave Hollow. It would be the responsibility on an individual buyer to obtain power, if they so desired. Many buyers of “Off-Grid” properties plan to use an alternative source of power such as solar, wind or a generator (if those buyers require power for their intended use of the tract). We have also found that a large number of buyers have no interest in power, as they plan to use their property for hunting or recreational purposes.
Because Cave Hollow is outside of any city limits there are no city or public water/sewer lines in the area. A buyer of a Cave Hollow tract who requires a permanent water source would want to look into a well or a cistern (water storage tank). On a Cave Hollow tract over 5 acres in size (most tracts) you can construct your own septic/waste system (if desired) which could include a standard septic, a lagoon, a properly built outhouse or many other alternative style waste disposal systems.
We did have cell phone service in the several areas in Cave Hollow where we made or received phone calls. You are likely to have better cell service on a “ridge” than within a “valley”. The wi-fi in our truck worked just fine at Cave Hollow (probably AT&T based wi-fi?).
In the aerial photo above we are looking over the property.
Cave Hollow West is an area of about 50 tracts located at the west side of Cave Hollow (as shown on the map above). These private tracts offer excellent options for camping, off-grid building, hunting and recreation.
This listing is for Tract 3 which is 5.121 acres in size and can be seen on the map above.
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, recreation and investment.
Because this property has a driveway and a site already installed, you can pull your truck totally off of the easement road and right onto the property so that you can set up “camp”. This gives you maximum flexibility AND it potentially saves you several thousand dollars because you will not have the immediate expense (or hassle) of creating a driveway and site in order to use your property!

As we mentioned earlier, the hunting in this area is amazing. You can expect to see huge white-tailed deer as well as very large wild turkey. If you are interested in the World Class fishing just take the very short drive to Bull Shoals Lake which is only about 10 minutes west of the property!
You can definitely hunt on your property (or just take photos of the amazing wildlife) and you are also only a few minutes from a lifetime of exciting fishing and water-sports at the enormous Bull Shoals Lake!
DIRECTIONS FROM SPRINGFIELD, MISSOURI (coming from the north): To get to the property from Springfield, Missouri just go east on Highway 60 for about 40 miles and then go south onto Highway 5 (at Mansfield).

DIRECTIONS FROM MOUNTAIN HOME, ARKANSAS (coming from the south): From Mountain Home, Arkansas just go north on Highway 5 for about 15 miles and you will cross the state line into Missouri. After crossing the state line, continue heading north for another 4 miles and then go right (east) onto the main gravel easement road which comes directly off of Highway 5. Proceed straight ahead on the easement road and you will see the land on the right side of the road.

Cave Hollow Property Covenants
All of the tracts at Cave Hollow have setback distances from the easement road(s). These setback areas are privacy buffers and are also designated utility easements so that owners may potentially have the option of electric service in the future (which would be the responsibility of individual tract owners and is in no way guaranteed by us). 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). Power is NOT currently within the development.
Fences/gates may not be placed within 50 feet of the center line of the easement road(s) and county road, 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 (so long as all fencing is at least 50 feet off any shared roadway).
It is important to note that because of the 100 foot setback from the road (for privacy and utility purposes) you will likely need to create some type of driveway on your property, in order to get beyond the setback distance for parking and to create your building site/campsite. If an available property already has a driveway/building site it will be noted in the listing for that property.
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.
Because this property has a driveway and a site already installed, you can generally pull your truck totally off of the easement road and right onto the property so that you can set up “camp”. This gives you maximum flexibility AND it potentially saves you several thousand dollars because you will not have the immediate expense (or hassle) of creating a driveway and site in order to use your property!
