SORRY, THIS PROPERTY HAS BEEN SOLD!
Very private 5.233 acres at Whitetail Ridge near the famous Niangua River!
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: “Whitetail Ridge” makes use of a gravel easement road system. When you visit Whitetail Ridge please use caution and bring your four wheel drive truck or suv.

In the aerial photo above we are taking a look at part of the property as well as part of the gorgeous countryside all around 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.

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.

Aerial photo showing some of the large hardwood timber on the property.
In the aerial photo above we are looking at some of the mature hardwood timber on the property. The property has numerous mature oak trees (in addition to beautiful hickory trees, chestnut trees, cedar trees and many other species).
The map above shows how this tract is situated. It borders the private easement road along its entire northwest side for about 920 feet. This is Tract 33 at Whitetail Ridge. Although it is hard to see in the aerial map above, there is a private driveway which comes off of the easement road and leads into a small cleared area near the center of the property. The map above shows the property as being “5 Acres” in size although the property has been surveyed (with the corners marked) and it is actually 5.233 acres in size.
This property lays VERY nicely. A large portion of the property is level, as can be seen in the videos and also on the topo map below:
The topo map above gives you an idea of the “lay of the land”. 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 (especially of the famous Ozark sunrises).
Parked on the Property
In the slightly blurry photo above we are standing on the easement road looking southeast at the property (you can see the sign in the tree that says “Tract 33”). The white truck has started pulling down the private driveway into the property.
To watch an “Introduction” video please click on the link below. This is fairly long but it shows the property, roads and general area very well:
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).
Area Map
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).

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 feel free 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!
