SORRY, THIS PROPERTY HAS BEEN SOLD!
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 most 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.
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, MO.
“Whitetail Ridge” is one of our “Homesteader Friendly Rural Developments”. This simply means that the standard Property Covenant requiring a minimum 600 square foot concrete foundation for a residence does NOT apply to the tracts at “Whitetail Ridge”. If you have been waiting for a property for your “tiny home” or for your “shipping container home” then you may have finally found what you are looking for!
PLEASE NOTE: “Whitetail Ridge” is a new Rural Development and we are currently in the process of having the easement road system smoothed out and widened. When you visit Whitetail Ridge please use caution and bring your four wheel drive (if possible).
In the photo above we are looking northerly over the property (which is on the right side of the road). Some of the photos/videos in this listing were taken in the very early spring although this heavily wooded property looks great all throughout the year. Also, many of the pictures were taken before the easement road was widened and graded.
In the aerial photo above we are looking north at a large flat area on the west side of the property.
Whitetail Ridge South is an area of about 40 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. This listing is for Tract 29 which is five acres in size and can be seen on the map above.
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 off-grid building, homesteading, camping and recreation.
The full sales price for this 5 acre tract at Whitetail Ridge is $32,500 and we offer INSTANT owner financing with just $500 down.
With $500 down the monthly payments will be $375. This is about a 15 year payment schedule and an annual interest rate of 9 3/4%.
With $1,500 down the interest rate drops to 7 3/4% and the payment drops to $330 a month. With $2,500 down the interest rate drops to 6 3/4% and the payment drops to $305 a month. With $5,000 down the interest rate drops to 5 3/4% and the payment drops to $265 a month. These payments are all based on about a 15 year payment schedule. Property taxes & road maintenance fees total only $35 a month and this is already included in the monthly payment amount. There are NO prepayment penalties and NO hidden fees.
PLEASE NOTE that you have a TWELVE MONTHS to ADD to your down payment in order to reduce your interest rate and payment amount! We want to give ALL of our buyers the opportunity to achieve the lowest interest rate and payment amount possible!
ALSO, if you pay off your property (your loan to us) at any time within the next 5 years you will get a 10% DISCOUNT off of the purchase price of the property! On this property that would save you $3,250 for an early payoff!
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 quite a few mature oak trees and thousands of younger trees.
The map above shows how this tract is situated. It borders the private easement road along its entire west side for about 375 feet. This is Tract 29 at Whitetail Ridge. The property is basically all wooded with possibly just a few small natural clearings.
This property lays VERY nicely. A large portion 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 east side.

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).
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).
The interactive map (below) is a great way to explore the property and the area, right from your home. You can zoom in, zoom out and even select different “base layers” to show the roads and areas in or around the property. You can zoom in and out by clicking on the “+” or “-” buttons on the right side of the interactive map:
The map above was created with a program called “MapRight”. The property boundaries are approximate but it should be very helpful for exploring the property. We will be having the tracts at “Whitetail Ridge” surveyed and we will be happy to provide you with a copy of the survey map after it has been completed.
To read a detailed description about how to use the free “MapRight” app to locate the property as well as the property’s boundaries, please go back to the previous page (the main page for Whitetail Ridge South” and look just below that interactive map.
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 Road”. You go a little less than 1/2 a mile on Industry Road 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 this property 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!
