SORRY, THIS PROPERTY HAS BEEN SOLD!
Almost 6 acres of nicely wooded property with a LARGE level area (possibly more level area than any other tract at Whitetail Ridge). The survey confirms that this tract is 5.847 acres in size.
Excellent tract at Whitetail Ridge South which is located at the south end of Whitetail Ridge. Great access and numerous potential sites for building, camping and hunting on this property! This tract is one of the closest tracts to the entrance at Whitetail Ridge, making for easier access. This tract also has MORE LEVEL AREA than virtually any other tracts of this size in this area. Looking for a property to have a HUGE yard, garden or pasture? This property gives you all of those options with its huge amount of level area.
PLEASE NOTE: This particular tract (Tract 8 at Whitetail Ridge) is one of a small number of “Premium Location Tracts” within Whitetail Ridge. This means the tract is generally visible from and/or very close to the County Road (Industry Road). Because this is a “Premium Location Tract” you may not reside in an RV, Camper or portable building on this particular tract. You may definitely build your own home on a “Premium Location Tract” but it must be on a continuous concrete foundation of at least 600 square feet in size.
You can still build your own home/cabin without permits and you can still camp on the property for twice as long as most other developments (90 days a year).
The “Premium Location Tracts” at Whitetail Ridge are Tracts 1-11. If a “Premium Location Tract” does not meet your needs, then please feel free to look at any of the other available tracts at Whitetail Ridge. At Whitetail Ridge South, Tracts 12-20 are not “Premium Location Tracts” and they may be an excellent choice if you are looking for a tract for a portable building or for a home smaller than 600 square feet or without a concrete foundation.
You can definitely hunt, camp and build on a “Premium Location Tract”, but because they are visible from the County Road, these are the tracts that represent Whitetail Ridge to all of the community. As such, these special tracts will help keep the property values high for all owners at Whitetail Ridge.
Please call or email us if you have any question at all about this!
Amazing location in the Ozarks. This acreage is located in a small Rural Development called “Whitetail Ridge” which is located within about 3 miles of the popular “Bennett Spring State Park” and even closer to the famous Niangua River. Also only about 10-15 miles from Lebanon, MO and less than an hour from Springfield, Missouri.
PLEASE NOTE: “Whitetail Ridge” uses a minimum maintenance easement road system and a four wheel drive vehicle is generally required to access the tracts at Whitetail Ridge.
Most of the pictures and videos within this listing were taken before the easement road had been widened/improved at Whitetail Ridge. It looks much more like a “road” now!
In the photo above we are looking north over the property, which is on the right side of the road. Almost all of the photos/videos in this listing were taken in the very early spring (with very few leaves on the trees) so you may just have to imagine the beautiful “greenery” that will be blanketing this property in the summer…Also, please remember that these photos and videos were taken BEFORE the easement road was completed (which is why it looks more like a “trail” in many of the pictures and videos).
In the aerial photo above we are looking down on the west side of the property.
Whitetail Ridge South is an area of about 20 tracts located at the south side of Whitetail Ridge (as shown on the map above). Since these tracts are located at the south side of this rural development, they tend to have good access to the County Road (with some tracts having direct County Road frontage). This listing is for Tract 8 which is five acres in size and can be seen toward the bottom of the map above. This is one of the only tracts at Whitetail Ridge that has County Road frontage AND easement road frontage. – Tracts 1-11 are the “Premium Location Tracts” at Whitetail Ridge.
The hunting and wildlife watching opportunities in this area are EXCELLENT with a large population of white-tailed deer, as well as wild turkey. This property could also be suitable for building, camping and recreation.
The full sales price for this 5.847 acre tract at Whitetail Ridge is $42,500 and we offer INSTANT owner financing with just $1,500 down.

The Tracts at Whitetail Ridge are sold through our partner company which is Regions Land Company. The sales process is the same as you see on the InstantAcres website, but the paperwork will shows Regions Land Company as the “seller”.
In the photo above we are looking at some of the mature hardwood timber on the property. The property has hundreds of mature oak trees and thousands of younger trees (10-20 year old oak trees).
The map above shows how this tract is situated. It borders the private easement road along its entire west side for about 815 feet. This is Tract 8 at Whitetail Ridge. The property is basically all wooded with possibly just a few small natural clearings.
This property lays VERY nicely. The majority of the property is level, as can be seen on the topo map below:
The topo map above gives you an idea of the “lay of the land”. Topo maps can be confusing so be sure to check out the drone video below to see how the land is situated. The majority of the tract is very level (which is unusual in the Ozarks). It slopes down toward the southeast side and you will find a small creek bed in that location.
The photo above was taken in the tiny creek bed on the southeast part of the property. This creek bed was full on interesting rocks and quite a few fossils. The creek was only running in a couple of spots so it would definitely be a seasonal creek that does not run year around.
The aerial photo above was taken whole looking down on the tiny creek bed on the property. You will also see this in the drone video below.

This property is located in one of our favorite areas of the Ozarks. “Whitetail Ridge” is located in westernmost Laclede County, Missouri. People come from all over the state (and the country) to visit this area which includes Bennett Spring State Park and the Niangua River. This area is WELL KNOWN for a large and active deer and turkey population and this particular section of the Niangua River is one of the only places in Missouri where you can fish for rainbow and brown trout. This area is also within a short driving distance to Springfield (which is the largest city in southern Missouri) and is less than 15 miles from Lebanon, Missouri, which is a good-sized regional town.
The map above shows the property’s location, relative to the Niangua River and Bennett Spring State Park (both of which are just down the road from the property).
Within just a few miles of your private acreage at Whitetail Ridge you will find close to 10,000 acres of public land, most of which is open for hunting, fishing and exploring. You can set up your camp/cabin on your private tract and also have use of thousands of acres and miles of top-quality river frontage within just a few miles of your property!
You will find this property toward the center of the map above. The “Lead Mine Conservation Area” is toward the upper left corner of the map and it is a huge tract of land which is open for hunting, swimming, fishing, horseback riding and more (there is even a public shooting range). The Niangua River runs through Bennett Spring State Park and goes northerly through the Barclay Conservation Area and the Lead Mine Conservation Area before flowing directly into the famous Lake of the Ozarks (about 15 miles north of Whitetail Ridge).

As we mentioned earlier on this page, the hunting in this area is world class. There is an excellent population of whitetailed deer and more turkeys than we have seen on practically any other property. Our guys set up a couple of game cams at Whitetail Ridge and they got hundreds of photo of large deer and turkey.
You can definitely hunt on your property and you are also just a short drive to THOUSANDS of acres of public land for additional hunting, fishing, trail riding and recreation.
DIRECTIONS: To get to Whitetail Ridge from Lebanon, Missouri just go west on Highway 64 for about 12 miles to Bennett Springs State Park. Just BEFORE you cross the bridge over the Niangua River you go right (north) onto Marigold Drive (this is shown on many maps as Harvest Road but the sign at the road will say “Marigold”). Go a little over half a mile and you will come to a “Y” in the road. Go left at the “Y” (you are now REALLY on Marigold Drive). Continue north on Marigold Drive for about 2 1/2 miles and you will come to a “T” in the road. Go right (east) at the “T” and you are now on “Industry Drive”. You go a little less than 1/2 a mile on Industry Drive and you will see Whitetail Ridge on the left side (north side) of the road. Go north onto the easement road and proceed to the property.
There are actually several different ways to get to Whitetail Ridge so feel free to explore!
Please be sure to print out the maps/directions from this listing page when you visit the property. We will be happy to email the maps to you if you would like. Please contact us before making the trip to the property as there may be a locked cable/gate toward the start of the easement road. We will be happy to provide you with the combo for the lock when you contact us. As we mentioned earlier, the MapRight 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.
Property near a major river or public land has been an excellent investment over the last several decades. As this area continues to grow, the demand for acreage continues to grow at a rapid rate. Lock in your property now, while you still can!
