SORRY, THIS PROPERTY HAS BEEN SOLD!
This rare property is located at The Meramec Project in Dent County, Missouri. This provate acreage DIRECTLY BORDERS the Mark Twain National Forest AND it has direct frontage on a County Road (giving you excellent access to the property year around).
PLEASE NOTE: At “first glance” this tract appears to be unusually shaped, but it could be ideal for someone that wants a very private site for hunting/camping/building that is set far back from the road. This tract get its “interesting” shape from the fact that its north side follows a fence line that has been in existence for many years.
Although we have included several maps showing the property, some of the BEST information may come from the “Intro Video” further down in this listing page. In the “Intro Video” we use the MapRight mapping program to explore the property and the area and we go into detail about this special property. You will find the intro video further down in this listing page, along with a drone video, ground video taken from the County Road at the east side of the property and a ground video taken at the west side of the property where it borders the National Forest.
This heavily wooded acreage contains many large trees including red oak, white oak, pine trees and so much more. The east side of the property directly borders a County Road giving you great access and the entire west side of this tract directly borders the 50,000 acre Mark Twain National Forest which gives you direct access into a HUGE amount of public land that can generally be used for hunting, camping, trail riding, fishing, swimming and exploring.
The photo above shows the private tracts within The Meramec Project. This listing is for Tract 1 which is 6 acres in size and can be seen toward the top of the map above. This property has about 40 feet of frontage on County Road 5600 and goes back to the west for over 2,000 feet. It has about 165 feet of direct frontage on the Mark Twain National Forest along its entire west side.
In the aerial photo above we are looking northerly over County Road 5600. The property is on the left side of the road.
Outcast Land is known for focusing on the highest quality hunting and recreation land in the United States. Every tract sold by Outcast Land is hand-picked for its hunting, recreation and investment appeal. Also, all Outcast Land tracts are guaranteed buildable but they can not be used as a residence until after the loan has been paid in full (although you can build a cabin or vacation home at any time). This tract can be purchased from this listing page if it is still available.
We have a very limited number of these tracts at the Meramec Project, which are some of the HIGHEST QUALITY deer hunting tracts in the nation. Dent County is consistently ranked as one of the top deer hunting areas in Missouri (and in the nation). These tracts are also within about two miles of the headwaters of the famous Meramec River which begins in the National Forest to the north of the tracts.

In the photo above we are looking west over the property. It appears to have a nice mixture of mostly hardwood trees with some beautiful pine trees as well. The property would be just to the left (south) of the meadow that you see in this photo. This photo was actually taken while over the west side of the property and the area at the “top” of the photo is the National Forest which DIRECTLY borders the west side of this special tract. There is also a power line VERY close to the property that runs through the neighbor’s meadow and into the National Forest. If you look closely at the photo above you can see the power line where it crosses into the National Forest (above the middle of the photo).
This private acreage directly borders the Mark Twain National Forest which gives you direct access into over 50,000 acres of additional land!
There are several areas on this property that might be excellent sites for camping, building and parking your RV.
The topographic map above shows the “lay of the land” (Tract 1 is toward the top of the map). This tract appears to be very level on its east side, by the County Road. It stays level for several hundred feet as you head to the west, it then slopes down gradually to the little “valley area” which crosses over the property. Heading west from the little valley, the property slopes back up and there is a level area in almost the center of the property (might be a great building site?). As you continue to the west from the middle of the property, the land slopes gently down and then back up a few times as you head toward the National Forest.
VIDEOS!
Below, you will see a few videos which will help you to “explore” the property. The first video is a drone video where we do a “fly-over” of the property:

In the last video (below) we see a small part of the far west side of the property, where it borders the Mark Twain National Forest. This west edge of the property has a gentle slope to it but if you go back to the east just a few feet there is a level area that might be ideal for a site for a home/cabin/camp:

As you may already know, the deer hunting in this area is some of best in the nation. Turkey hunting is excellent as well. On this tract you can hunt, camp, ride your four wheeler, shoot your gun(s) and generally just relax and enjoy life. This tract is definitely buildable, subject to the basic property covenants which are the same for all Outcast Land tracts. If you wish to use this property as a full-time residence, your home/cabin must be at least 600 square feet on a concrete foundation and the owner financed loan must be paid off. The land does not have to be “free and clear” in order to live on the property but the owner financed loan to Outcast Land Inc. must be paid off (so if you “refinance” through your bank or another lending institution then the “owner financed” loan would be paid off).
You can build a hunting/vacation cabin right away, if you choose to do so. A hunting/vacation cabin would not have to be on a concrete foundation or be 600 square feet in size (those are requirements for a residence, not a hunting/vacation cabin).
You have a full 90 days for camping in a 12 month period, which is twice as long as the standard 45 days a year. Also, your camping is never limited during deer season (rifle season) or spring and fall turkey season. Outcast Land never wants to limit your hunting opportunities!
If you have already seen the information page for The Meramec Project than you have probably already seen the list of property covenants. If you have not, then please click on the link below to see them:

You can definitely have a portable building or a camper/RV on this property for camping and hunting (just not as a residence). In fact, we know many people who have built a small hunting cabin in a weekend, with materials that fit in the back of a suburban or a pickup truck. Remember, you can definitely build a home/cabin on this tract at any time, it just can not be used as a residence until after the Owner Financed loan has been paid in full.
All tracts at The Meramec Project have setback distances for privacy and potential utility purposes. The setback from the County Road is 100 feet, the setback from the west side of the tracts is 30 feet and the setback from the sides of the property is 15 feet. You are welcome to fence your property if you choose to do so – fences/gates are not subject to the setback requirements except that they must be at least 50 feet back from the County Road.
Please note that timber with a stump diameter larger than 8 inches may not be cut, sold or removed until the property has been paid for in full (we can often give written exceptions for creating a building site or a driveway/trail).
The photo above shows a few of the trees on the property. There appear to be enough mature trees to build a home or a cabin (can not cut the trees until the loan to Outcast Land has been paid in full).

Good quality hunting land in Missouri has been a proven investment for many years. As the demand for good property continues to grow, the values will continue to rise.

Good quality land in Missouri has been a proven investment for many years. As you may know, it is getting harder and harder to find land adjoining the National Forest and it is virtually impossible to find land adjoining the National Forest AND a County Road! As the demand for the top quality hunting tracts continues to grow, the values will continue to rise. This tract represents an excellent opportunity hunting, camping, building, recreation and investment.
