Excellent tract at Whitetail Ridge South which is located at the south end of Whitetail Ridge. Great access and several potential sites for building, camping and hunting on this property!
PLEASE NOTE: This particular tract (Tract 7) is one of a small number of “Premium Location Tracts” within Whitetail Ridge. This means the tract is visible from and/or accessible from 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!
This gorgeous tract has an open meadow, timber and even a tiny creek bed on its north side!
This is also one of the few tracts at Whitetail Ridge that has DIRECT FRONTAGE on the County Road (Industry Road) which gives you great access all throughout the year. This special tract is mostly wooded but does has have a large open meadow area, giving you several locations that might be excellent sites for building, camping and hunting.
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 15 miles from Lebanon, Missouri and about an hour from Springfield, MO.
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. Although, because this tract has direct frontage on the County Road, you can drive right to this property at any time.
Currently, the easement road at Whitetail Ridge has NOT been connected to the County Road, so in order to drive onto this tract you would have to come straight off of the County Road. There is an old barbed wire fence in this location so bring a small wire-cutter so that you could remove part of the old fence to drive onto the property (or just park on the side of the County Road and explore your property on foot). – The easement road will be connected to the County Road after the weather starts to cooperate (we have had quite a bit of rain, which is why the road has not been completed).
In the photo above we are looking northerly over the property (truck is parked on the County Road at the south side of the property). Almost all of the photos/videos in this listing were taken in the 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…
In the aerial photo above we are looking southerly at the meadow on the property. The drone is facing into the sun which is why this photo looks so dark.
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 7 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.

In the photo above we are standing at the county road (facing west) with the property on the right.
The map above shows how this tract is situated. It borders the County Road along its entire south side for about 230 feet and it borders the easement road for about 325 feet along part of its west side (easement road is not yet complete). A tiny creek bed crosses over the north side of the property.
This property is the highest on its south end. It then slopes down as you move to the north (see 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. This property is very level once you come off of the County Road. After you get several hundred feet back into the property, it slopes down and it actually has a valley (with a small creek bed) running through it.
The aerial photo shows part of the tiny creek bed which crosses over the north side of the property. The creek was running when we visited the property but it would definitely be a seasonal creek that does not run year around.

This property is located in one of our favorite areas of the Ozarks. “Whitetail Ridge” is located in western 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 the property toward the middle 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).

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:

You can also click on the “Frequently Asked Questions” tab on the main page of our website, and watch a short video about MapRight.
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 another 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”. Now go about 1/2 a mile on Industry Road and you will see the property on the left side (north side) of the County Road.
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 (if the property that you are looking at is located on 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 as you can walk all around the property while looking at the interactive map to see right where you are.
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!
