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 19 at Cave Hollow which is 12 acres in size.
This particular tract already has a private driveway and multiple cleared sites for building, camping and more – we also discovered a spring which was flowing out of the ground at the base of the hillside on the property.
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 other videos farther down on this listing page. Although we always try to provide numerous videos, maps and information, we highly 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.
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 19 which is 12 acres in size and can be seen on the map above.
Please Note: We are in the process of having the tracts at Cave Hollow surveyed (at our expense). When the survey is complete we will provide a copy to all buyers. The maps in this listing will give you a very good idea about the property lines and when the survey is complete we will have the exact dimensions on all tracts. Please note that the MapRight maps are not designed to be precise, but the survey will be.
Check out the photo below to see the very cool spring that we found on the property:
The photo above shows the large spring that we discovered on this property. This photo was taken when we first discovered the spring. We are holding up the phone so that we could remember the location of the spring (which is shown as the white circle on the MapRight app, on the phone). On the day that we discovered the spring it was flowing very heavily. We have since made several trips back to the spring and sometimes it is flowing while sometimes it is not flowing. If you hope to use the spring as a water source, then you may want to build some type of pond below the spring and use the spring to fill it. That way, when the spring was not running you would still have water available.
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.
The sales price on this property is $59,500. As you may know, many of our properties with no improvements (driveway, etc) are available with a $500 down payment. On this special tract the minimum down payment is $1,500.
With $1,500 down you will automatically get the reduced interest rate of 7 3/4% and the monthly payment will be $585.
With $2,500 down the interest rate drops to 6 3/4% and the payment drops to $540 a month. With $5,000 down the interest rate drops to 5 3/4% and the payment drops to $490 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 get a 10% DISCOUNT off of the purchase price of the property! On this property that would save you $5,950 for an early payoff!
We do need a minimum down payment of $1,500 on this tract of land and with your down payment you will automatically get the reduced interest rate of 7 3/4% and reduced monthly payment of $585.
The Tracts at Cave 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 map above shows how this tract is situated (the property is Tract 19 on the map). It borders the easement road along its entire south side.
The aerial photo above shows part of a small clearing 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 property slopes down as you move north from the easement road. After you cross the creek bed it begins to rise back up and the highest point on the property would be on the north end.
Topo maps can be confusing so be sure to also watch the drone video (above) to see how the land is situated.

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 below shows all of the tracts at Cave Hollow West, so please zoom in on the map to locate this particular tract:
The map above was created with a program called “MapRight”. The property boundaries are approximate but it should be very helpful for exploring the property. The tracts at Cave Hollow have been surveyed with the corners marked (look for metal pin with a plastic cap).

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

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.
