“THE TRACTS ON THE FINLEY” is a very small, rural development located in beautiful Webster County, Missouri. This special development contains a very limited number of tracts (about 10), with some of them having direct frontage on the popular Finley River!
This particular tract is 17 acres in size and the Finley River crosses directly over the north side of the property. This is one of the few riverfront tracts where you own BOTH side of the river, giving you maximum privacy. It is one of the largest tracts in this private development. This large tract has a beautiful open meadow, heavily wooded areas, country road frontage in numerous locations and electric on-site! Fish, camp, build and hunt on your private acreage and still be only 20 minutes from Springfield. Tracts like this are VERY RARE and seldom come on the market!
In the photo above we are parked at the south side of the large meadow on the property.
The Finley River is home to numerous species of fish including bass, perch, catfish and more. This particular area of Webster County is well-known for excellent hunting including huge white-tailed deer and large turkey. Since this property borders the river (a water source for the deer) as well as meadows and heavily wooded areas, you can plan to see numerous deer on the property throughout the year as they cross from the woods to the meadows.
This tract is 17 acres in size with DIRECT frontage on the river as well as a county road (Olga Road) and a private easement road.
In the aerial photo above we are looking easterly over the north side of the property.
The map below shows how the property is situated. The Finley River crosses directly over the property, as does Olga Road which is a county maintained road. The property also has access via a private easement road which borders the south side of the acreage.
This is very long property listing page as we have numerous videos, maps and pictures of this special property. Please do feel free to read over the entire listing as well as to watch all of the videos and view all of the photos. As always, you are welcome to come and visit the property in-person before purchasing (if it is still available). We have a VERY limited number of these tracts on the Finley River and when they are gone, they are gone!
The property is located only about 20 miles east of Springfield, Missouri which is the largest city in southern Missouri and continues to grow every year! For the last several decades, land this close to Springfield has been an excellent investment, as the city continues to grow. Springfield is home to several large hospitals and colleges and has a great airport as well as hundreds of stores and restaurants.
Below, we have several videos which show the property, including a drone video which shows the property from the air:
In the first video below (which is the drone video) we take a look at the property from the air:

The next video in the “Intro Video” for the property. This is fairly long but it does a good job of showing how the property is situated. Many of the other videos and pictures may make more sense after you watch this “Intro Video” (or you can skip it and watch the more interesting videos first):

This property has a large amount of mature timber. After the property has been paid for in full you could log it, sell the timber, leave it exactly as it is or even use the mature timber to build a log home!
This property has over 300 feet of direct frontage on each side of the Finley River, giving you over 600 feet of waterfront.
The interactive map below is an EXCELLENT tool for exploring the property and the area.
Please refer to our interactive map above for additional property views and information. Please note that the boundary lines and measurements are approximate.
Also, please note that on the interactive map it seems to work best if you click the “View Full Screen” option. Once you are in the “Full Screen” option you can select “Topo” to see a topographic map which does a good job of showing how the property is situated. We can actually email you a link for this “MapRight” interactive map of the property. You just need to download the free “MapRight” app to your phone or tablet and then we can email you the link for this specific map. This is VERY nice for driving to the property as you will know right where you are as well as where the property boundaries are located.
The map below is a topo map which shows how the land “lays”. The north meadow area is basically flat. As you go south of Olga Road the land rises up and it is the highest at its south side.
The topo map above shows how the land “lays”. Each line indicate an elevation change of 20 feet so when the lines are close the land is steep and when the lines are far apart the land is flat (or nearly flat). The land is basically flat on the north side of Olga Road and it rises up as you go south from Olga Road. The elevation ranges from about 1,300 feet above sea level to about 1,400 feet above sea level.
This property is private and secluded with an amazing amount of wildlife. On the property you can expect to find whitetail deer as well as wild turkey. This area has a proven track record for both deer and turkey hunting. In the Finley you can expect to find bass, perch and many other types of fish. Although this tract is very private it is only about 20 miles from Springfield and only about 5 miles from Rogersville, Missouri. Rogersville is a small (but growing) city which is just east of Springfield.

DIRECTIONS: From Springfield, Missouri go east on Highway 60 for about 14 miles and then go south on Highway U. Go about 2 1/2 miles on Highway U and then go east onto Olga Road (which is gravel). Now go about 2 1/2 miles on Olga Road and you will be at the property. When you take this route to the property you will be crossing the “low water bridge” over the Finley River about half a mile before you get to the property.
If it has been raining then we recommend that you come in from the other direction because when the river is high you really do not want to drive across the “low water bridge”. So, if it has been raining then go east on Highway 60 for about 18 miles and then go south onto Highway Z. Go about 6 miles on Highway Z and then go south onto Olga Road. Now go about 2 1/2 miles on Olga Road and you will be at the property. If you come in from this direction then you can take paved roads to within about 1/2 a mile of the property AND you will avoid the “low water bridge” over the Finley River. There are certainly other ways to get to the property but these two ways would be the most simple on your first trip.
Once you get to the property feel free to walk all around and explore. Also, you can bring your four wheeler or side-by-side if you would like. PLEASE NOTE that if it has been raining, the open meadows will likely be very soft and you could easily sink in if you drive off of the roads. In these conditions it would probably be best to park your vehicle at the road and just explore the property on foot (or with your four wheeler).
In the aerial photo above we are looking down on the Finley River, very clear water with lots of fish!

Please do click on either of the links to fully familiarize yourself with the property covenants. If these Deed Assurances do not meet with your needs, then we would be happy to be on the lookout for a property which does fully fit your needs.

This waterfront tract represents an excellent opportunity for building your own 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 (minimum 600 square foot continuous concrete foundation).
PLEASE NOTE that although you can build basically anywhere on this property (subject to the setbacks from the roadways) that much of the “Open Meadow” on the north side of Olga Road is within the 100 year flood zone. If you were to build in this area you would need to elevate your structure with a property engineered and constructed raised foundation to get it out of the flood zone would certainly add quite a bit to the cost of building. The upper area and the wooded hillside would be out of the 100 year flood zone and would be much more suitable building site options.
The aerial map above shows the “FEMA Flood Zone” on the northern part of the property. It is unusual to have a property adjacent to a major river that has so much area OUT of the flood zone!
You can actually build up to two residences on the property. The additional residence could be used as a rental to offset or completely pay for your mortgage payment. Monthly or weekly rentals with access to the river would be very popular.

If you have been waiting for a waterfront property that is private but still close to a major city then do not wait on this one! It is VERY RARE to find a tract with direct river frontage of any kind in the Missouri Ozarks. It is ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE to find a waterfront tract of this size within 20 miles of Springfield!
Your family will love you and your friends, family and neighbors will be very jealous BUT with a tract this size with all of that water frontage you can invite them along for the weekend too…
