SORRY, THIS PROPERTY HAS NOW BEEN SOLD!
UPDATE: This property has ben leased out for several months and the folks that were leasing it began taking apart the old “cabin shell” on the property as they were preparing to build a larger cabin. Their plans changed so we have decided to list this property for sale. The frame of the “cabin” as shown in the photos/videos in this listing is gone and most of the “raw materials” are piled and/or stacked on the property. We feel it is a definite improvement to having the little “cabin” removed as it opened up space within the site. Additionally, it appears that there has been several loads of gravel brought in to the site. This was probably done by the folks who were using the site and were preparing for their cabin.

We have tried not to modify the original listing page below because it is loaded with useful information about the property (so it will show and mention the “cabin”) but please do keep in mind that the frame of the little “cabin” has now been taken apart. In photos like the one below that do show the old cabin we have tried to put a note reminding everyone that the cabin is now gone/dismantled.
The little cabin (above) is dismantled and the cleared site is beautiful and was recently mulched with a large mulcher attached to a skid loader. By the springtime the site will probably be covered with green grass.
Excellent tract at Cedar Gap Hollow South which is located at the south end of Cedar Gap Hollow. Good 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 Cedar Gap Hollow, making for easier access to the paved road and to Highway 60.
Well-located acreage not too far from Springfield, Missouri but still VERY private and rural. This acreage is located in a small Rural Development called “Cedar Gap Hollow” which is located within 3 miles of the popular “Cedar Gap Conservation Area” and only about 35 miles from Springfield, MO.
“Cedar Gap Hollow” 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 “Cedar Gap Hollow”. 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 tract was leased out for quite some time and is now available for sale! The property has a long private driveway that leads back to a secluded cleared site for camping or building. Some of the photos/videos in this listing page were taken before the driveway/site were created and some were taken after the driveway/site were created. Also, some of the pictures show the creek while it is flowing and some show it when it is not flowing. It does not flow year around. As we mentioned before, the tiny partial cabin that you see in some of the videos/pictures has been dismantled.
The gravel creek bed (above) crosses directly over this private tract. This winter time photo was taken on the north side of the property while facing south. The property is on BOTH sides of the creek.
In the autumn aerial photo above we are facing north while looking at part of the property which sits to the right of the gravel road that you see on the left.
Cedar Gap Hollow South is an area of about 16 tracts located at the south side of Cedar Gap Hollow (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 Highway 60. This listing is for Tract 12 which is 5.760 acres in size and is located toward the top of the aerial photo 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 Tracts at Cedar Gap Hollow 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”.
This tract offers a great mixture of timber including oaks, hickories, cedars, and more. In the autumn aerial photo above we are facing south and looking at the property (and also into the sun). The property sits between the two roads.
The map above shows how this tract is situated. It borders the gravel road along its entire east and west sides. The creek flows from south to north over the west side of the property. This is Tract 12 at Cedar Gap Hollow. On the map above the white dashed line shows the approximate location of the private driveway and the cleared site toward the north side of the property.
This property is the highest on the south side. It slopes down gradually as you move to the north.
The topo map above gives you an idea of the “lay of the land”. Topo maps can be confusing so be sure to also check out the drone video (below) to see how the land is situated. The pink line on the topo map near the east side of the property is just where the topo map thinks the easement road is located (the yellow line is the actual easement road).

This property is located in one of the most desirable areas of the Ozarks. “Cedar Gap Hollow” is located in westernmost Wright County, Missouri. This area has a PROVEN track record of a large and active deer population AND is within a short driving distance to Springfield (which is the largest and most popular city in southern Missouri).
The map above shows the property’s location, relative to Springfield, Missouri (which is about 35 miles west of the property). The property is also within just a few miles of several small towns including Seymour, Missouri and Mansfield, Missouri.
The “Cedar Gap Conservation Area” can be found just a short distance to the south of this property (roughly a mile to the south). The Conservation Area is generally open for public use including hunting and hiking. You can set up your camp/cabin on your private tract and also have use of hundreds of acres in the Conservation Area which is within about two miles of the property!
The map above shows the “Cedar Gap Conservation Area” which is just south of Cedar Gap Hollow.

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 this map should be very helpful for exploring the property. This tract has been surveyed and MapRight should be helpful if you would like to find the survey markers.
About the free “MapRight” app that you can use to help you explore your property:
If you download the free “MapRight” app to your phone or tablet then it is generally fairly easy to use it to locate your property. After you have the app on your phone/tablet simply go to the listing page for your property (on whatever device you have downloaded the app to) and locate the actual interactive map on the listing page for the specific property. Toward the top left corner of the Interactive Map you will see a link that says “View Full Screen”. Click on this link and the webpage will ask you if you want to open the Interactive Map within the app (which must already be on your phone/tablet). After you say “Yes” to this it will ask permission to access your GPS (this is necessary and your GPS must also be on). After that, the interactive map should open up within the “MapRight” app on your screen AND there should be a colored dot on the map to indicate right where you are. It is BY FAR the best way to drive to the property and to explore the boundaries. Give us a call or send us an email if you have questions about this. Also, our office is only about 15 minutes west of Cedar Gap Hollow and if you stop by we will be happy to help you get it all set up on your phone or tablet.
You do NOT need any type of subscription to “MapRight” in order to use the app. In fact, many people tell us it works better if you do NOT get a subscription or any for any type of membership. Just download the app and then follow the instructions above. And remember, we are here to help if you have trouble getting it to work!
PLEASE NOTE: Recently, we have been told that MapRight has changed their program and that they now require a subscription to use it as shown above. If this is true, then you could potentially just get a free “trial subscription” to see if it is suitable for your needs.

Please remember that MapRight is in no way intended or able to replace a survey and the MapRight boundaries shown on the map are only approximate.
This particular tract is located in a section of Cedar Gap Hollow which is known as “Cedar Gap Hollow South”. The tracts within Cedar Gap Hollow South are excellent for hunting. We had placed several “game-cams” on some of the tracts within Cedar Gap Hollow South (and in several spots throughout Cedar Gap Hollow) and we got numerous photos of multiple deer including quite a few large bucks. We also got photos of a large number of wild turkeys as well as some mischievous raccoons!
Perhaps one of the main features of Cedar Gap Hollow South is that these tracts are very close to the paved road and to Highway 60, making access much easier than to some of the more remote tracts.
DIRECTIONS: To get to the property from Springfield, Missouri just go east on Highway 60 from about 30 miles to the town of Seymour. Now continue heading east on Highway 60 for about 5 miles and look for the road going north off of Highway 60 which is called “Connector Road”. As a landmark, you will see Highway O going south and this is where you will go NORTH onto the “Connector Road”. Go north for about 1/8 of a mile on the “Connector Road” and then the gravel easement road will begin (go straight at the “T” onto the gravel roadway. Take the gravel easement road northerly to the property.
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.
Property within an hour of Springfield has been an excellent investment over the last several decades. As Springfield continues to grow the demand for tracts in this area continues to grow at a rapid rate. Lock in your property now, while you still can!
What can you do on your new property at Cedar Gap Hollow?

Cedar Gap Hollow Property Covenants
All of the tracts at Cedar Gap Hollow have setback distances from the easement road(s). These setback areas are also designated utility easements so that all owners shall have the option of electric service. All buildings, homesites, parking areas, storage areas, etc. must be at least 100 feet from the centerline of the easement road (this area acts as a privacy setback as well as a utility easement).
Fences/gates may not be placed within 50 feet of the centerline of the easement road(s) as this area is a designated road easement area. Although there is a 30 foot setback for building/storage from the sides and rear of each tract you CAN fence directly up to the sides and rear of each tract.
The cleared site at the end of the private driveway is tucked into the timber on the property. The site was professionally cleared with a commercial “mulcher” attached to a skid loader. The smaller trees and brush were ground into mulch and the large trees were left to add to the beauty of the “hidden” site. The gravel creek bed appears to run right next to the west side of the cleared site. In the photo above you can see the partially completed “cabin” which could be town down, completed or just left alone (you’ve got options!).
In the aerial photo above we are looking westerly over the north end of the property. The north end of the property appears to be heavily wooded which provides a large amount of privacy. In fact, in this photo we are looking directly over the cleared site and the partially finished “cabin” but they simply are not visible because of the large trees.
This tract represents an excellent opportunity for building your own off-grid home or cabin as there are no building permits required in this area! You and your friends/family can build your own cabin without permits or inspections.
In addition to the existing private driveway and cleared site, this large tract offers numerous other spots that could be used for building and camping. In the aerial photo above we are checking out the middle and/or south side of the property which appears to be a mixture of wooded ground and open ground.
