SORRY, THIS PROPERTY HAS BEEN SOLD!
Gorgeous Owner Financed Land for Sale at Bull Shoals Lake in the Missouri Ozarks! This rare tract is located within “Elm Hollow on Bull Shoals Lake” which is a private rural development that is adjacent to the Corp of Engineers Land (the “Take Line”) at Bull Shoals Lake, giving you access to THOUSANDS of acres of Corp of Engineers Land for additional hunting and recreation, as well as for access to the water and the hundreds of miles of shoreline! This special property is brought to you by our Sales Partner “Outcast Land Inc.” – Outcast Land Inc. is known for focusing on the highest quality hunting and recreation land in the United States.
The aerial photo above shows part of “Elm Hollow on Bull Shoals Lake” as well as a very small part of Bull Shoals Lake itself. We are looking west and on the left side of the photo you can see the “Beach Area” that we discovered at the southern end of the peninsula on Bull Shoals Lake. We had no problem driving right to the beach area in a truck (bring your four wheel drive just in case). We are only seeing a very tiny fraction of the lake in this photo, as it has several hundred miles of shoreline and about 50,000 acres of surface water for fishing, swimming, tubing, wake boarding, jet skis and more!
In the photo above we are looking southerly at “Elm Hollow on Bull Shoals Lake”. You can see part of County Road 618 on the left side of the photo (as well as part of the power line). This unique tract within “Elm Hollow on Bull Shoals Lake” has direct County Road frontage for ease of access. It also has an electric line directly on the property AND is within just seconds of access to the lake as well as miles of shoreline and hundreds of acres of additional hunting land (in the Corp Land).
When we visited “Elm Hollow on Bull Shoals Lake” We were able to drive our truck right to the edge of the lake at the secluded “beach area” at the tip of the peninsula. The “beach area” looked like a great place to swim or fish, or possibly even to put a small boat or a couple of jet-skis into the water. The trail/road to the beach area was not marked on any of the maps that we had but it goes southerly (once you get to the end of the County Road) and takes you through the Corp of Engineers Land and right up to the shore of the lake.
If we would have happened to have our jet skis we would have launched them from the “beach area” at the end of the peninsula, as the ground sloped very gradually into the lake and it looked like it would make for a very handy “primitive” boat launch. Unfortunately for us, we did not happen to have our jet skis along with us on that day (too bad!!).
Outcast Land is committed to bringing you the HIGHEST QUALITY recreation land in the nation. All tracts are located in areas with a PROVEN track record for deer and turkey hunting and in this case SPECTACULAR fishing and water activities including boating, swimming and even scuba diving. This “Fishing, Hunting and Recreational Development” brought to you by Outcast Land has basic Property Covenants in place to ensure that the tract you purchase can be used for fishing, hunting and recreation for generations to come. By the way, all tracts sold by Outcast Land are buildable for a cabin or home, subject to the basic property covenants (although most Outcast Land customers are more interested in deer “signs” then street signs).
Although the properties sold by Outcast Land Inc. are buildable for a home or cabin, they can not be used as a residence until after the owner financed loan has been paid in full (this is a condition of the Owner Financing on Outcast Land tracts). Although this does not affect buyers who are hunters, campers, fishermen or recreational users, it could affect folks who are looking for a place to immediately build and live. If you are looking for a place to immediately build and live than please contact us and we can let you know what is available that might suit your needs.
This heavily wooded owner financed land at Bull Shoals Lake is possibly the perfect place for fishing, hunting, camping, recreation and for creating lifelong memories with family and friends.
Also, with convenient County Road access and a power line already on the property, this may be the land you have been looking for that could be an ideal spot for your retirement home or your vacation cabin.
Elm Hollow on Bull Shoals Lake
Elm Hollow on Bull Shoals Lake is a very private rural development consisting of only 16 tracts, located at the east side of the famous Bull Shoals Lake in the Southern Missouri Ozarks. This particular tract is heavily wooded, has direct County Road frontage AND an electric line already on-site (which potentially saves you a large amount of time and money if you ever require power).
This particular tract at Elm Hollow is only seconds from the lake itself, as well as from the “Take Line” which is the Corp of Engineers Land that surrounds the entire lake and can generally be used for additional hunting and recreation, as well as to cross over for access to the shoreline on Bull Shoals Lake (actually, the hundreds of miles of shoreline at the lake).
This large tract at “Elm Hollow on Bull Shoals Lake” is in an ideal location for privacy at the lake. It is located about a mile from the end of a County Road with basically NO traffic, and it is less than 5 miles from Theodosia, Missouri, which is the main town on the east side of Bull Shoals Lake.
The aerial photo above was taken at the town of Theodosia, Missouri, which is about 4 miles west of the property. We are looking south at the bridge over Bull Shoals Lake (this is Highway 160) . Theodosia has at least one large marina which may be a great place to visit and to grab lunch. It also has several restaurants, gas stations and stores.
Tract 1 at Elm Hollow on Bull Shoals Lake
This listing is for Tract 1 at Elm Hollow on Bull Shoals Lake. Tract 1 is 15 acres in size and is one of the largest tracts within this private rural development (possibly the largest of any of the tracts).
This tract is heavily wooded with over 200 feet of frontage on County Road 618 along its northeast side. The property has a power line that is located (very conveniently) on its east side by the County Road. An additional line runs southerly across the east side of the property and provides easy access if power is a necessity for your needs, either now or in the future. This tract also has a small creek which runs easterly over the middle of the property for several hundred feet (seasonal/wet weather creek).
We have “loaded up” this listing page with tons of maps, pictures and videos of the property. You will also find additional maps/pictures/info about Bull Shoals Lake and the beautiful area around the lake.
The photo above was taken while standing on County Road 618 and facing west. Tract 1 is on the left side of the road in this photo. You can see part of the power line which runs over the property. In this photo we can see several “black walnut” trees which can be a useful and valuable tree to have on your property.

The map above shows approximately how the tracts at “Elm Hollow on Bull Shoals Lake” are situated. County Road 618 provides access to all of the tracts and ends near the south end of the development. From the end of the County Road there is a trail which leads you through the Corp of Engineers Land and directly to the shoreline of the lake (to the southern tip of a secluded peninsula within the lake).
Tract 1 can be seen on the north side (at the top) of the map above. As one of the largest tracts within Elm Hollow it contains numerous areas which may be suitable sites for camping, hunting or building (or all of the above).
Although this “Listing Page” is fairly lengthy it does contain a large amount of great information about this specific tract as well as Elm Hollow, Bull Shoals Lake and the general area.
Also, if you have not already visited the main page for Elm Hollow on Bull Shoals Lake, you can do so by clicking on the link below. It is likely you have just come from that page, and that you clicked on the link for this tract within the “table” of available tracts. But if not, please do check out the main page for Elm Hollow on Bull Shoals Lake (by clicking the link below this paragraph) and watch the videos that we have included on that main page. Although some of the info/maps on that page are also included in this listing page, there is probably some information that you will only find on the main page for Elm Hollow on Bull Shoals Lake. Here’s the link to the Main Page for Elm Hollow on Bull Shoals Lake:
Within just a few hundreds yards to the south of these tracts you will find a beautiful natural peninsula that extends out into the lake (see the “Trail To Lake” on the map above). At the south end of the peninsula we found a very private natural beach area that looked as though we could have used it for putting a small boat or a couple of jet-skis into the lake (as a “primitive” boat launch). Although we did not have a boat or a jet-ski with us when we visited the peninsula, we have launched boats and jet-skis from several other “primitive” boat launches on Bull Shoals Lake, some of which did not even appear to be as usable as this one. This secluded beach seemed to be a good mixture of fairly hard gravel, clay and sand, and it sloped very gradually in to the water (which tends to make for a good “primitive” boat launch).
This particular tract in Elm Hollow is within seconds of the Corp Land, which can be used for additional hunting/recreation, and most importantly for access to the miles of shoreline at the lake for fishing and swimming or just to put a canoe or kayak into the water (which you can do from almost any part of the shoreline at the lake if you have a lightweight canoe or kayak).
In the winter-time photo above we are parked at the southern tip of the peninsula (at the end of the trail shown on the map earlier in the listing). This little “beach area” (as well as the trail to this “beach area”) does not appear to be shown on any public maps. It is very likely that only the “locals” know about this special spot on the lake.
If you look at the aerial map of the immediate area (below) you will see that there is a large Public Boat Launch within just a couple of miles of the property. To get to the Public Boat Launch, after you go south onto Highway HH off of Highway 160, just continue heading south on Highway HH after you pass County Road 618 (if you were going to the property you would turn on County Road 618). It appears from our maps that Highway HH goes straight to the Public Launch which is just a couple of miles past the turn-off for County Road 618.
The aerial map above shows “Elm Hollow on Bull Shoals Lake” as well as the town of Theodosia, Missouri and a small part of the lake itself. Toward the bottom of the map we have labeled the large public Boat Launch that can be found at the end of Highway HH, just a few minutes from the property. There is also an excellent public boat launch on the northwest side of the bridge in Theodosia (about 5 miles from the property).
Maps, Videos and Details about Tract 1 at “Elm Hollow on Bull Shoals Lake”
Tract 1 is 15 acres in size and has direct County Road frontage (County Road 618) along its east side, so it is accessible year around. Although there is only about a mile of gravel road on the way to the property (the County Road is a gravel road) we still recommend a four wheel drive to get to the property because if you plan to drive to the end of the County Road and then to take the trail that leads to the end of the peninsula, you will definitely want a four wheel drive vehicle.
The aerial map above shows the approximate boundaries of Tract 1. It has about 230 feet of direct frontage on County Road 618 along its northeast side. This property has an electric line already on-site, potentially saving you many thousands of dollars (and a lot of hassle) as you will not have to have electric brought in to the property if you ever need it.
This large tract actually appears to have two electric lines which cross over the property. One of the lines runs easterly over the property by the County Road and another line runs southerly over the east side of the property (as shown on the map above). There are several potential building/camping sites that could be created close to the electric lines, which could make it very easy (and inexpensive) to hook to the electric line when/if you need to do so.
The property is the highest by the County Road, and it slopes down as you move southwesterly from the County Road and into the property. It continues to slope down until you reach the creek bed which crosses over the property. As you go southerly from the creek bed the property begins to rise back up.
The topo map above gives us an idea of the “lay of the land”. The property is the highest by the County Road and slopes down as you head toward the creek bed. It then slopes back up on the other side of the creek bed.
We have explored very little of the property but we did discover what could potentially be a great site for building/camping on the property (which you will see in one of the videos, later in this listing). To get to the site that we discovered you would head westerly from the County Road and go several hundred feet into the property.
The cleared site that we discovered was very private and was surrounded by tall timber. It looked as though there was once a small structure at the edge of the cleared site, but that it had fallen down many years ago.
The photo above was taken at the cleared site that we discovered on the north side of the property (a few hundred feet back to the west from the County Road). It appears fairly level and might be a pretty spot for a cabin or a home (or a campsite). On the far side of the clearing you can see some old building materials that were probably once an old shed or possibly a deer hunting “shack”.
The photo above was taken while on the County Road at the northeast side of the property. We are facing westerly and the property is on the left side of the road. This photo is similar to the photo that we used earlier in this listing, except that in this photo it is easier to see the electric line and some of the black walnut trees on the property.
Although the topo map shows that most of this tract is sloped either up or down, we did find several level areas on the property when we were exploring part of the north side. We have not explored any of the middle or south sides of the property (and we actually only explored a small portion of the north side). The photo above was taken near the potential building/camping site that we discovered on the north side of the property.
Now Some Videos!
This first video is a “Drone Video” in which we check out the property and the area from the air:
The next video is a “Ground Video” in which we park on the northeast side of the property and walk in to the cleared site that we discovered on the north end of the property:
The last video is an “Intro Video” in which we use the Interactive Map to explore the property and the area:
More Pictures of the Property:
In the aerial photo above, we are looking northerly at the property. Although it is hard to see County road 618 in this picture, it is between the house/yard and the timber to the left of the house/yard. The “line” that you see going diagonally through the timber is the electric line that crosses southerly over the property.
In the aerial photo above, we are now looking southerly over the property, which sits on the right side of the County Road. Is this photo, it is fairly easy to see how the property generally slopes down as you move away from the County Road and toward the creek bed. You can also see how the land slopes back up once you cross over the creek bed.
In addition to having numerous potential areas for camping and/or building, this property offers the opportunity to build a large pond or a lake, by building a dam (made of dirt/clay from the property) in the valley toward the center of the property.
In the aerial photo above we are looking down toward the creek bed which crosses over the property. Toward the middle of the photo you can see a small part of the gravel in the creek bed. It is very hard to see the creek bed from the air in the summer, because of the large amount of mature timber on the property.
In the photo above we are facing easterly on County Road 618 and the property is on the right side of the road. Although we did not see any driveways into the property, we were able to pull off of the County Road and into the “grassy area” (on the right side of the photo) so that we could check out the property.
The map above shows all of the tracts at “Elm Hollow on Bull Shoals Lake” as well as the power line(s) and the creek bed that crosses over the property. Tract 1 can be found on the north end of the development (at the top of the map). The labels for Tract 1 on the map above got kind of “pushed together”, so in the map below we have removed all of the labels:
The map above has had the labels removed to make it more useful (hopefully). Tract 1 is the large tract at the top of this map. The black and grey “dashed” lines on the map are the power lines. The blue “dashed” line is the little creek bed which crosses over the property on the way to the lake. The pinkish “dashed” line is the trail that takes you through the Corp of Engineers land and directly to the “beach area” on the secluded peninsula.
The brown “shaded area” on the map above is the Corp of Engineers Land which surrounds Bull Shoals Lake and can generally be used for hunting and recreation (similar to National Forest or other public land).
In the aerial photo above we are looking northerly at the property. The property sits on the left side of the County Road in this photo and the road frontage is across from the smaller white house/building in the photo. Not across from the house with the grey roof, but across from the smaller house/building north of that, with the white roof.
In the aerial photo above we are looking south at the peninsula which goes out into the lake. The County Road ends and then there is a trail which goes south all the way down the peninsula, to the beach area on the southern tip. You can actually see part of the trail on the map above (extending southerly into the peninsula and down to the southern tip). From this area the lake extends off into the distance for many miles…..so much to explore!
Properties with access to a major lake have for years been one of the best choices for investment, as well as for enjoyment. As property prices across the nation continue to rise, history has taught us that it is the better quality land that will have the largest rise in value. Also, as more and more people discover the low priced land in the Ozarks it will continue to push our land prices up until they begin to get close to the sky-high land prices in most other parts of the Country.
Interactive Map – “Land Id” Map – (formerly MapRight Interactive Map)
The “Land Id” interactive map below (formerly called “MapRight”) is useful for exploring the property and the area. You will have to “zoom in” in order to see this specific tract. The labels are likely to look VERY messy until you can zoom in on this specific tract (the property is Tract 1 on the Interactive Map). This is the same Interactive Map that you may have seen on the main page for Elm Hollow on Bull Shoals Lake.
You can move the map around and even use different “base layers” to view the property and the surrounding area:
The property boundaries are only approximate on the interactive map but they will be helpful for exploring the property and the area.

Click Here To See A “Land Id” (formerly “MapRight”) Tutorial
You will want to download the “Land Id” app to your phone or tablet before you visit the property, as it will make things go smoothly on your first trip (just follow the directions in the tutorial). If you have questions about Land Id please feel free to call us in the office at (417) 767-2223 and we can assist you. “Land Id” seems to be constantly updating their program so it can be a little confusing when you first get started. In fact, until very recently it was called “MapRight” so it is likely you will hear us use that name within the videos in this listing page, because that is the name we have been using for years!
As you have already seen earlier in this listing, there is a residential power line which runs directly across this property, giving you excellent access to electric. Being outside of city limits means you will not find public water/sewer available, and it also means this tract is not subject to the strict regulations you would find within city limits. If you require a permanent water source you could drill a well, or for occasional use a cistern (water collection/storage) can be a good choice. For septic, you could install a standard septic (which can potentially be done yourself, if you desire) or possibly use an alternative style system (such as composting toilet or one of dozens of other systems that are now on the market). For occasional use, an “rv style” toilet works well (as do numerous of other options). We had cell service in the areas we checked within the development BUT the service was much better in the higher areas than in the lower areas (we use Verizon) . The wireless internet in our work trucks seemed to function fairly well in most of the areas we tried within the development (again, much better in the higher areas).
This tract has direct frontage on County Road 618, making it possible for you to access your property throughout the entire year.
HUNTERS, FISHERMEN (and FISHERWOMEN), CAMPERS AND RECREATIONAL LAND USERS have specific desires and requests when they are searching for a property. In general, these folks plan to camp and use their recreational property more often than most people. They also generally do not plan to build a home and live on the property in the near future.
With these specific needs in mind, Outcast Land is proud to bring you this “Recreational Development”. All of the tracts within this rural development are usable for fishing, hunting, camping, recreation and even building a home or cabin, but there are a couple of important distinctions that make these tracts special:
- All Outcast Land tracts are buildable but please keep in mind that they can not be used for a permanent residence until after the loan (to us) has been paid for in full. You can definitely build a cabin (or use a portable building) for camping and hunting, but in order to live on the property the loan must be paid in full and your residence must be at least 600 square feet in size and be built on a concrete foundation.
- Camping is allowed for up to 90 days a year, instead of the standard 45 days. This gives you twice as much camping/hunting time on your acreage.
- You can ALWAYS camp, for hunting purposes, during the scheduled deer hunting (rifle season) and turkey hunting seasons (even if that would put you over the 90 day period). Outcast Land does NOT wish to limit your hunting opportunities on your property.
Other property covenants (setback distances, etc) will be very similar to the standard Property Covenants that you see within the InstantAcres.com “property covenants” section. To see the Outcast Land Property Covenants for Elm Hollow on Bull Shoals Lake please click on the link below:

Hunters, Anglers and Recreational land buyers generally have no interest in living on their property in the near future (although often they do plan for a retirement home/cabin on the property). BUT, many hunters, campers and recreational land buyers do tell us that it can be a hardship to have nearby neighbors living in portable buildings, camper trailers or homemade “tiny homes” while they attempt to enjoy their acreage for hunting & recreation with their families and friends.
We love “homesteaders” (in fact, we have an entire category on our website specifically for homesteaders) and you may also love “homesteaders” but these tracts from Outcast Land are not designed for the “homesteader”. These tracts are designed for the serious angler/hunter/camper/recreational user who does not desire to be surrounded by homesteaders while hunting, camping and using their property.
Please note that timber with a stump diameter larger than 8 inches may not be cut, sold or removed until the owner financed loan on the property has been paid for in full (we can often give written exceptions for creating or expanding a building site or a driveway/trail).
Because there are a number of marinas and campgrounds around Bull Shoals Lake, it may be convenient for you to plan to rent a cabin or an RV site nearby while you clear a driveway and/or a building site on your property. Trees with a stump diameter of over 8 inches (measured at ground level) can not be cut or disturbed until the property has been paid for in full BUT we do recognize that in order to clear a driveway and a site it is almost always necessary to remove some mature timber. Because of this, we have a very simple program in place with which you can generally get written permission to remove the necessary trees (often we are able to give written permission within 1-2 days, or less). Contact us for details about obtaining permission for tree removal for your driveway and building/camping site.
Although the property is private and secluded, the town of Theodosia is less than 10 minutes away (by car) and only about 20 minutes by boat or jet-ski. If you bring your boat or jet-skis (or rent a boat from the marina) there are hundreds of places to explore and enjoy on the enormous Bull Shoals Lake.
The map above shows Bull Shoals Lake which was created in the 1950’s when the Army Corp Of Engineers built an enormous dam in northern Arkansas in order to create Bull Shoals Lake for power generation and flood control. The south portion of the lake is located in Arkansas and the northern portion of the lake is in Missouri. On the map we have “expanded” the portion that shows Elm Hollow and the town of Theodosia. The green shaded area on the map (adjacent to the lake) is the Corp of Engineers Land which gives you access to thousands of acres of additional land for hunting and recreation and also gives you access to the hundreds of miles of shoreline on Bull Shoals Lake for fishing, swimming, boating and exploring.
Because the Corp Of Engineers Land is also open for hunting, you actually have direct access to several thousand acres of additional hunting land in the area (similar to owning a property that borders the National Forest). Build your home or cabin on your private acreage and spend years exploring the miles of shoreline and thousands of acres of Corp of Engineers Land!
Elm Hollow has a proven “track record” for numerous deer and turkey. Almost every time we visit the area we see multiple deer and often we see wild turkey as well. You can definitely hunt on your private tract at Elm Hollow on Bull Shoals Lake, and because you can also hunt in the Corp of Engineers Land you actually have an enormous amount of land on which you can hunt.
This is an amazing opportunity to own and use a high quality piece of real estate while watching the value rise. Build your home or cabin and go fishing for your lunch and dinner! Fishing, riding jet skis, water skiing and tubing are all excellent here. Bull Shoals Lake is a wonderful lake for boats of basically any size, from small bass boats (or even canoes) all the way up to huge yachts or sailboats.
The “primitive” boat launch at the end of the secluded peninsula gives you what may be a very convenient place to launch a small boat or some jet-skis. As we mentioned earlier in this listing page, we have launched jet skis, pontoon boats and bass boats from several different “primitive” launches, in various spots on Bull Shoals Lake.
A “primitive” boat launch (also called a “natural boat launch”) is basically an area where there ground is fairly hard-packed and the land slopes gradually into the water. The photos below show a couple of “primitive” boat launches on Bull Shoals Lake that we have used for launching boats and jet-skis. These “primitive” launches are very similar to the secluded peninsula at Elm Hollow – so although we have not yet launched a boat at the secluded peninsula we do expect that it will make a usable launch (as always, use your own judgement). Or, you can go to the large Public Launch at the end of Highway HH (less than 5 miles from the property) and you can easily launch a craft of any size. Also, the large Public Boat Launch on the west side of the bridge at Theodosia is an awesome place to launch just about any boat.
The aerial photo above was taken about 10 miles west of Elm Hollow (still on Bull Shoals Lake) and in the photo we have just launched a pair of jet-skis at a “primitive” boat launch on the lake. As with much of the shoreline on the lake, at certain times of the year there can be a wild grass that grows on the area between the water and the timber. Come and explore the miles of shoreline. You can fish all year around!
In the photo above we have just put two jet-skis into the water on another “primitive” boat launch on Bull Shoals Lake. The launch is about 15 miles west of Elm Hollow (still on Bull Shoals Lake). We were able to use a drone to grab a picture of one of the jet-skis before it zipped away to explore the shoreline on the lake.
In the winter photo above, the young lady is going after some bass from the shore of Bull Shoals Lake. The Corp of Engineers often lowers the water level of the lake in the winter but that does not seem to affect the fishing and boating. What a great way to spend your vacation!
What can you do on your new property at “Elm Hollow on Bull Shoals Lake”?
These tracts are NOT subject to the zoning regulations that you will find in most areas of the country! This property is within a Rural Development and does have basic property covenants BUT almost all of the Outcast Land buyers find that these covenants simply do NOT limit what they plan to do with their property. In fact, most Outcast Land buyers that we speak to would simply NOT invest in a rural property without basic covenants in place to protect their investment!
At your property within “Elm Hollow on Bull Shoals Lake” you can:
- Fish from the miles of shoreline at the lake within the “Corp Land”
- Hunt on your property AND within the thousands of acres of “Corp Land”
- Camp
- Build a cabin or a home (subject to the basic property covenants)
- Have a portable building or shipping container (for camping, hunting, recreation and storage)
- Use your camper or RV for camping, hunting and recreation
On your property at “Elm Hollow on Bull Shoals Lake” you can not:
- No commercial businesses
- Can not live on the property until the owner financed loan has been paid in full
- No cutting of the timber until the property has been paid for in full (we can often make written exceptions for clearing a building site or driveway, contact us for details)
- No junkyards of any kind
All of the tracts at Elm Hollow on Bull Shoals Lake have setback distances from the County Road for privacy and to maintain the natural “feel” of the area. These setback areas are also designated as potential future utility easements and as privacy buffers. All buildings, homesites, parking areas, storage areas, etc. must be at least 100 feet from the centerline of the County Road (this area acts as a privacy setback as well as a future utility easement).
Fences/gates may not be placed within 50 feet of the centerline of the County Road, as this area is a designated road easement area.
These tracts represent an excellent opportunity for building your own hunting 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.
When you do build a residence on your property it must be at least 600 square feet in size and have a concrete foundation (slab, stem wall, basement). As mentioned earlier in this listing, in order to live on the property the Owner Financed loan would need to be paid in full. Many times, buyers use our Owner Financing to purchase the property and then after a year or two they get a loan through a local bank (or a national bank) and pay off the owner financed loan. It’s a great way to immediately grab a property and gives you maximum flexibility as you can choose to later obtain a loan through a bank (paying off the owner financed loan) or to simply continue to use the convenient owner financing until the property has been paid for in full.

Bring your fishing poles and see what you can catch!
Please feel free to print out the maps/directions from this listing page when you visit the property. Additionally, if you watch the video on our “F.A.Q.” page it will explain how you can download the free “MapRight” (Land Id) app which can be very useful for getting to the tracts, as well as exploring the tracts and the area.
If you would prefer to use a “street address” that you can input into Google Maps or Apple Maps you can use the address below (this should take you to the County Road at about the north side of the Elm Hollow tracts):
1100 County Road 618
Isabella, MO 65676
When we entered the address above into MapQuest it showed a point at the north side of Elm Hollow on Bull Shoals Lake, at the road frontage on Tract 1. From there, you can proceed southerly to whichever tract you are viewing. But, because the tracts have not yet been assigned street addresses (because there are no residences on them) it is very possible that different mapping programs/apps may take you to a different location on the County Road.
The maps below map be helpful to explore the area and to get to the property. You can click on the “thumbnail” to see the full-sized image and to open the images in a slideshow:
This tract offers maximum privacy as it is located on a dead end road with no “through traffic”. Because this tract extends back from the County Road for several hundred feet you could potentially have your building and/or camping site tucked away so that it was completely private.
It has always been difficult to find any available quality land near Bull Shoals Lake and it has always been almost impossible for us to find quality land within a few feet of the “Take Line” at the lake. When you add to that the fact that this tract is heavily wooded, has County Road access AND has an electric line on-site you have a property with amazing investment potential that you can also use to create lifelong memories with family and friends.
It is continually getting harder and harder to find good-quality acreage for fishing, hunting and recreation (and building a home or cabin). With its privacy and excellent location, this tract represents what we feel is one of the best investment opportunities that we have ever had. Fish, camp, hunt and enjoy your property right away – and watch as the land values in this area continue to climb as more and more people discover Bull Shoals Lake and the beautiful Ozarks.
The fishing, camping, hunting and recreational opportunities in this area are awesome. This tract could be suitable for hunting, camping, building and recreation, and Bull Shoals Lake is well-known as one of the best fishing lakes in the United States.
The map above shows the location of Elm Hollow, relative to Springfield, Missouri as well as Theodosia, Missouri, Gainesville, Missouri and Mountain Home, Arkansas. You can fly into Springfield and be on your private paradise at the lake within a couple of hours. Branson also has an airport which is small but is continually adding flights.
This is investment-quality acreage in a fantastic location. These heavily wooded tracts at Elm Hollow are the ONLY properties we have ever found at Bull Shoals Lake that offer County Road access and have a power line already on-site. All of the tracts are within seconds of the lake and the “Take Line”, which you can cross over to access the shoreline (and the Corp of Engineers Land) at Bull Shoals Lake.
