SORRY, THIS PROPERTY HAS BEEN SOLD!
Excellent 7.0 acre surveyed tract at Whitetail Ridge North near the Niangua River. Good access and several areas on which you could create sites for building, camping and hunting on this property!
PLEASE NOTE: This large tract had been leased out for a couple of years and is now available for sale. Most of the photos and videos in this listing page are the original photos/videos which were taken a couple of years ago, before the easement road at Whitetail Ridge had been widened and improved. Also, since this listing page was created before the survey at Whitetail Ridge has been completed, many of the maps/videos show the property as being “6 acres” in size – BUT, now that the survey is complete we can happily confirm that this jumbo tract is a full 7.00 acres in size.
So please keep in mind while viewing this listing page that this property is surveyed and is a full 7.00 acres in size AND the easement road at Whitetail Ridge has now been widened and covered with gravel. You will still want a four wheel drive to access the tracts at Whitetail Ridge but the road has been improved after the videos/pictures in this listing were taken.
The remainder of this listing page is basically the original listing page for the property, but we have tried to update the size to “7 acres” within the text (but we have not yet updated the maps/videos to reflect that the property is a full 7 acres in size). Sorry in advance for any confusion, but if you have been looking for a large, surveyed, heavily wooded property than this private tract may be a great choice!
The tracts at Whitetail Ridge North are some of the most private properties that you will find. Located toward the end of a private easement road, these tracts offer maximum privacy and seclusion while still being close to rivers, towns and more!
Farther down in this listing you will fund numerous videos/pictures and maps of this property. Below, we have included an additional short “ground video” showing the property (with more videos further down in this listing page):

Please be sure to watch the other videos farther down on this listing page. This heavily wooded tract will make someone an excellent property! Although we always try to provide numerous videos, maps and information, we highly recommend that you visit a potential tract before making a purchase so that you can get a true “feel” for the property and the area.
Amazing location in the Ozarks. This acreage is located in a small Rural Development called “Whitetail Ridge” which is located within about 4 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” is a rural development that makes use of gravel easement roads. When you visit Whitetail Ridge please use caution and bring your four wheel drive truck or suv.
In the aerial photo above we are looking south the easement road with the land on the right (easement road was not yet completed when this photo was taken).

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 map above shows how this tract is situated. It borders the private easement road along its entire east side for about 350 feet. It appears to be mostly wooded with just a few natural clearings. Although the map above shows the property as being “6 acres” in size, the survey is now complete and we can confirm that the property is actually a full 7.00 acres in size.
Check out the topo map below to see how this property is situated:
The topo map above gives you an idea of the “lay of the land”. Topo maps can be confusing so be sure to also watch the drone video below to see how the land is situated. The east side of the property is basically level and it appears to stay level for a few hundred feet as you move to the west. It then slopes down fairly steeply which gives you the potential for some world class views.
The aerial photo above was taken looking northerly over the easement road with the land on the left.

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!
