SORRY, THIS PROPERTY HAS BEEN SOLD!
Excellent tract at Whitetail Ridge near the Niangua River. Good access and numerous potential sites for building, camping and hunting on this property! The west side of 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 generous 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: This property has been leased out for the last 2-3 years and is now available for sale. Most of the photos/videos in this listing page were taken just before the property was leased out. At that time, the easement road had not yet been widened/improved so in many of the videos/photos you are actually seeing the road BEFORE it was upgraded. The road has now been widened and improved and although we ALWAYS recommend a four wheel drive for any gravel roads (including this one) the road now looks quite a bit nicer than it does in many of the photos/videos!
Also, many of the photos/videos in this listing were taken in the middle of the winter, so we are seeing the property with basically no leaves on the trees (although this heavily wooded property looks better in the winter than almost any other property we have seen).
In the wintertime photo above we are looking north up the easement road with the land on the right. Many of the pictures/videos in the listing were taken in the winter, so you get an excellent look at the property, timber and terrain. This photo was actually taken before the improvements had even been started on the easement road system at Whitetail Ridge. The road is now much wider and has been graveled and graded.
In the wintertime aerial photo above we are looking down at 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 32 which is 5.277 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.

In the photo above we are looking at some of the hardwood timber on the property. The property has numerous mature oak trees and thousands of younger trees. The west side of the property appears to be very level. In fact, this tract has more level area (or nearly level area) than just about any other tract at Whitetail Ridge.
The map above shows how this tract is situated. It borders the private easement road along its entire west side for about 345 feet. This is Tract 32 at Whitetail Ridge and it is 5.277 acres in size. 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 fairly 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 west side of the tract is fairly level and slopes down (very gently) as you move to the east. As you go east past the middle of the property it begins to slope down more quickly which may provide you with an exceptional view.
The photo above was taken while standing on the property and looking toward the easement road.

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 just off 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. The property has been surveyed with the corners staked.
To read a detailed description about how to use the free “MapRight” app to help locate the property as well as the property’s approximate 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!

Whitetail Ridge Property Covenants
All of the tracts at Whitetail Ridge have setback distances from the easement road(s) and county road. These setback areas are also designated utility easements so that all owners shall have the option of electric service.
