SORRY, THIS PROPERTY HAS BEEN SOLD!
Nicely 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 11 at Cave Hollow which is 5.004 acres in size.
Please Note: We were recently informed that a storm came through the Cave Hollow area and knocked down a few trees throughout the development. We were told that one large tree fell across the private driveway into Tract 11. We have not been to the property to verify this so please bear in mind that it is possible that there is a tree over the driveway on the property. The next time our guys are in the area we will ask them to cut it up and pull it out of the way (if it did actually fall on the driveway). Or, if you are handy with a saw then it may be a chance for you to test out your skills!
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).

Please be sure to watch the “Ground Video” farther down on this listing page. Although we always try to provide numerous videos, maps and information, we always recommend that you visit a potential tract before making a purchase so that you can get a true “feel” for the property and the area.
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.
This particular tract is located within just a few hundred feet of the paved road, so it actually has better access than most of the tracts at Cave Hollow (but we still recommend a four wheel drive truck or suv to access this private tract).
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 typical 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?).
The photo above shows the east side of the cleared site which is tucked a couple of hundred feet into the property. On the right side you can see the stuff that was left by the folks who were using/leasing the property.
The cleared site was designed very well. It is fairly level and it is large enough to easily pull your truck into so that you can get situated. Also, because the private driveway goes back from the easement road at an angle the cleared site has a very private feel to it.
The stuff that was left behind by the folks who were leasing/using the property may be of use to you, or it may not!
In the aerial photo above we are looking over the property.

The photo above shows part of a small clearing on the property.
The recent video below shows the items that were left on the property by the people who had been leasing it. There does not appear to be very much there but take a look at the video to check it out.
In the video (below) we take a look at the property from “ground level”. We start at the driveway and go northerly to the cleared site on the property:

Check out the topo map below to see how this property is situated:
The topo map above gives you an idea of the “lay of the land”. The map shows that this property is the highest at its east side toward the easement road. It seem to stay fairly level until you get to the cleared site within the property and then it appears to slope down as you move to the west from the cleared site.
Topo maps can be confusing so be sure to also watch the drone video at the top of the listing page to see how the land is situated.

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!

What can you do on your new property at Cave Hollow?
Although this tract is close to a major city (Mountain Home), it is NOT subject to the zoning regulations that you will find in the immediate Mountain Home area! This property is within a Rural Development and does have basic property covenants BUT almost all of our buyers find that these covenants simply do NOT limit what they plan to do with their property!
On your property at Cave Hollow you can:
- Hunt

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.
