Tract 3 at The Meramec Project – 10 Acres Bordering the National Forest! – ID#MP03

This rare property is located at The Meramec Project in Dent County, Missouri. This private 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).

This heavily wooded acreage contains mature pine trees, red oak and white oak trees and so much more. A small season creek bed crosses over the property 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.

This private acreage directly borders the Mark Twain National Forest which gives you direct access into over 50,000 acres of additional land!

Below, we have a “drone video” which will give you a good look at the property from the air:

It is very, very rare to find a property that borders the National Forest AND also borders a public road! The public road will provide good access to your property all throughout the year and the DIRECT National Forest frontage gives you IMMEDIATE access into an absolutely enormous tract of public land for free additional hunting, camping, exploring, trail riding and so much more!

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.

 This area has a PROVEN track record for huge white-tail deer and enormous wild turkeys. You can certainly hunt on your private acreage but you can also venture into the Mark Twain National Forest which gives you a virtually unlimited supply of additional hunting and recreation land.

The information (below) is the specific information about this tract, which is Tract 3 at The Meramec Project. It is 10 acres in size.

In the photo above we are looking west over the property. It appears to have a nice mixture of pine trees and hardwood trees. Off in the distance you can see the Mark Twain National Forest which directly borders this property.

The photo above shows the private tracts within The Meramec Project. This listing is for Tract 3 which is 10 acres in size and can be seen toward the top of the map above. This property has about 200 feet of frontage on County Road 5600 and goes back to the west for over 2,000 feet. It has about 200 feet of direct frontage on the Mark Twain National Forest along its entire west side.

PLEASE NOTE: When looking at the aerial maps of the property it may appear “long and thin” but in reality this tract is 200 feet wide which  gives you an excellent amount of privacy from the nearby tracts. Since the property goes back from the County Road about 2,300 feet, it certainly is “long” – but being 200 feet wide means it is certainly NOT “thin”! On a heavily wooded property such as this one you can expect to find multiple areas which could provide you with a very private site for camping, hunting, vacations or building a home or a cabin.

There are numerous 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” (please see Tract 3 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 creek bed which crosses over the property. Heading west from the creek bed, 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 as you arrive at the National Forest.

Below, we have a couple of “ground videos” that will help you to explore this property:

In the video below, we check out the east side of the property, near the County Road.

In the next video (below) we see the west side of the property, where it borders the Mark Twain National Forest:

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 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 mature pines. There appear to be enough mature pines/oaks to build a home or a cabin (can not cut the trees until the loan to Outcast Land has been paid in full).

Interactive Map Below:The Interactive Map above gives you a good look at the property as well as the general area and the route to the property. You can zoom in and out and move the map around to see exactly what you want to see. You can also change the “base layer” to see a topo map as well as other base maps. If you click on the “Full Screen” option toward the upper right side of the map then it should open the map within a separate window which will give you more options for controlling the map.

The Interactive Map can actually be VERY useful when viewing a property (especially on your first trip). If you download the “Land Id” app to your phone then you will be able to view the map on your phone AND it will show your location as a colored dot within the map (when using the app to view the Interactive Map). This is fantastic when you are locating a property and also if you want to see the approximate boundaries of a property. After you download the app there are a couple of things that you will need to do in order to use it correctly. We have added a video to the top of the “F.A.Q.” page on our website, which explains in more detail how to set up the app so that it is all set for your trip to the property.

The link below will take you to the video on our “F.A.Q.” page which shows how to set up the Land Id/MapRight app. The program we use has been called MapRight for several years and they recently changed the name to Land Id. We use the names interchangeably but really it is now just called Land Id. The app is free but you may have to sign up for a free trial in order to use it properly. Land Id seems to change their procedures fairly often but generally you can at least view a map within their app without any type of subscription (but you may need an account in order to see your location while viewing a map). Here’s the link to our video which explains how to use Land Id/MapRight:

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. Lock in your property now, while you still can! Land bordering the National Forest has been getting harder to find and as the demand grows properties like these will become even more scarce!

The map below shows the route to The Meramec Project from the town of Salem, Missouri.

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.
