We almost NEVER have a property with a home/cabin but in this rare listing we are excited to offer a large 9 acre parcel with a small cabin and a newer shop. You will also find a nice pond (with dock) as well as a large amount of beautiful, mature timber!
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, Missouri.
In the aerial photo above we are looking at the front of the cabin which is shaded by several mature oak trees in the large yard.
In the aerial photo above we are directly over the pond, facing east toward the cabin and shop.
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 12 which is 8.679 acres in size and can be seen on the upper left corner of the map above. This is the only tract at Whitetail Ridge that has a cabin/home. It is just a few hundred feet north of the County Road and is accessed by a private easement road within 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 above photo we are standing at the dock on the property. The dock was well-constructed back when it was built. It definitely needs to have the decking replaced but it still floats very well.
The map above shows how this tract is situated. It borders the private easement road along part of its south side for about 320 feet. This is Tract 12 at Whitetail Ridge.
This property lays very nicely. Part is level, part is fairly steep and part is in between:
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 property is the highest at its south end. It slopes down gradually as you move south toward the home and yard. There is a valley area that runs diagonally through the north side of the property and there is a large level area at the northwest section of the property.
The photo above was taken inside the shop on the property. It has electric including several shop lights.
We do not have the exact measurements of the cabin or the shop. We would estimate that the little cabin is 600-800 square feet and the shop is a little over 1,000 square feet.
The aerial photo above was taken looking over the property.

OWNER FINANCED Cabin, shop, pond & timber on 9 acres in MO Ozarks! – www.InstantAcres.com – ID#WR12
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) 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 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).

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.
The cabin has been used as a hunting cabin for many years. It is decorated with antlers from deer taken from the property.
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 Drive”. You about 1/4 mile on Industry Drive and you will see the easement road on the left side (north side) of the road. Take the easement road north for a few hundred feet and you will be at the property.
There may be a gate toward the start of the easement road but if you call us before you drive to the property we will be happy to get you the combination for the gate.
There are actually several different ways to get to Whitetail Ridge 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

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 center line of the easement road and county 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 center line of the easement road(s) and county road as this area is a designated road easement area.
