Also on the map above you can see the North Fork River which is one of the most popular rivers in the Ozarks for “Float Trips”. The “green colored” area on the map above is the enormous Mark Twain National Forest which will provide you with a free lifetime supply of additional hunting and recreation land.

The photo above is a survey map which shows all 50 of the Tracts at Hawk’s Roost.
This listing is for Tract 38 which can be seen toward the left side of the map above. Tract 38 is 5.508 acres in size and borders the gravel easement road along its entire north side.
Below, we have several additional maps which will help to show you the “lay of the land” for this heavily wooded property.
Aerial Map
The aerial map above shows how this tract is situated. The gravel easement road runs full-length along the north end of the property for about 400 feet. This property is heavily wooded with numerous different species of trees.
Topographic Map
The topo map above gives you an idea of the “lay of the land”. Topo maps can be confusing if you are not used to them so be sure to also watch the drone video farther down in this listing page to see how the land is situated. The topo map indicates that a large portion of the property is either level or only very gently sloped. This particular tract appears to have more level, usable ground than just about any other tract we have ever had in this size range.
Aerial Map
The aerial map/photo above shows the 5.508 acres and its location within Hawk’s Roost. The property is outlined in red in the photo above and the green lines are the gravel easement road system within Hawk’s Roost.
Winter-time photo showing timber.
In the winter-time photo above, we are checking out some of the timber toward about the middle of the property.
Survey Stake
The property was surveyed a few years ago, with the corners marked. The photo above shows a survey marker at the northeast corner of the property. In some of the photos in this listing (including the photo above) you may see purple paint on the trees and/or other areas. In Missouri, the color purple is used to indicate “No Trespassing”. The purple paint was added by the folks who had been leasing out the property for the last few years.
Winter-time Aerial Photo
In the winter-time aerial photo above, we are facing northeast while we look over the property . If you look VERY closely you might see the white tahoe toward the lower left portion of the photo (the tahoe is parked on the north side of the property).
Now Some Videos of this Beautifully Wooded 5.508 Acres!
This first video is a “Drone Video” in which we check out the property and the area from the air. This is a winter-time video so the only green trees that you see will be cedars and pine trees.

The third video (below) is an “Intro Video” in which we use the Interactive Map to take a look at the property and the surrounding area:

The “Intro Video” (above) was taken while using the Interactive Map that we have of the property. Below, you will find the same (or a very similar) Interactive Map. It is a great tool for exploring the property and the area.
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.
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. This property was surveyed several years ago, with the corners marked.

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 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!
Directions To Hawk’s Roost:
DIRECTIONS: To get to the Hawk’s Roost from Springfield, Missouri just go east on Highway 60 (for about 60 miles) to the town of Mountain Grove. From Mountain Grove, go south on Highway 95 for about 20 miles to Highway 14. Go east on Highway 14 for about 7 miles to the easement road which goes north off of Highway 14 and will take you to the property. Or, if you go past this first easement road you can go north onto County Road 255 (might be shown as CR250 or CR252 on the sign) and then proceed to the easement road system from there.
As these are gravel easement roads you will want to drive your four wheel drive truck or suv to access the property, as the extra few inches of clearance (along with the four wheel drive) could be helpful if there are rough spots in the road.
As with any available tract, please contact us before making the trip to the property as there may be a locked cable/gate toward the start of certain easement roads. If so, we will be happy to provide you with the combo for the lock when you contact us. As we mentioned earlier, the MapRight app (Land Id app) is a VERY helpful tool when you visit the property. It is great to use when driving to the property and it is even better to use when you arrive. Just get it all set up while you are in town as it can be hard to set up “on the go”.
Rural acreage has always been an excellent investment, and the last few years have made most people understand that rural property in the Ozarks is still undervalued! As this area continues to grow in popularity the demand for wooded rural acreage continues to grow at a rapid rate. Lock in your property now, while you still can!
Area Map
As shown on the map above, there are two ways into Hawk’s Roost. There is a gravel easement road which goes north off of Highway 14 and there is a separate gravel easement road which comes off of County Road 252 (which might be labeled as County Road 250 or County Road 255).
Hawk’s Roost is in an ideal location in southern Missouri. A mild climate, abundant wildlife and friendly people are just a few of the reasons that more and more people are choosing southern Missouri for their home or for a vacation/recreation property.
Also, if you look to the east and the south of Whitetail Ridge on the map above, you will notice several large green-colored areas. These are the different parts of the Mark Twain National Forest which is a HUGE National Forest that is open for public hunting, fishing, hiking, camping, trail riding and more. You can definitely hunt on your private tract at Whitetail Ridge, but if you decide to explore additional hunting land you will find that there are many THOUSANDS of acres of public land within just a few minutes of your new property!
This very well-located property is literally within half a day’s drive of NUMEROUS major cities. You can easily drive to Springfield or Branson, Missouri and be back to your property in time for lunch. But, you can also drive to Kansas City, St. Louis, Nashville, Memphis, Little Rock, Tulsa or any one of numerous other large cities and be back to your property in time for dinner (maybe a late dinner).
