Own A Piece Of The Ozarks

Antler Ridge offers some of the most affordable recreational real estate in the state of Missouri. With cheap land becoming increasingly scarce, now is a great time to invest in undeveloped land.

This property is ideal for recreational activities such as hunting, fishing, camping, ATV & motorcycle riding, hiking, and more. When you're there, you'll experience the sense of relaxation and freedom that land ownership brings.

Below you'll find complete information including photographs, maps, and a list of frequently asked questions. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact us!

Bordered By A National Forest:
Antler Ridge borders the Mark Twain National Forest along the east and the Pioneer Forest Conservation Area along the south and western borders.

That means you'll have 420,000 protected, public acres that you can use and explore. You'll have access to the entire national forest for hunting, camping, hiking, and endless other recreational opportunities.

Being adjacent to a National Forest bring with it two major benefits:
1) The forest is patrolled by USDA Forest Service Rangers -- and Rangers make great neighbors!
2) Bordering a National Forest helps maintain the value of your land and makes it more desirable.

Incredible Views & Amazing Scenery:
This part of Missouri is absolutely gorgeous. It features the kind of panoramic views that only mountainous regions can provide.

Each tract has incredible scenery and the forest features lush foliage, as well as large oak, pine, and fruit trees. It attracts visitors throughout the year including spring and fall, when the color changes in the forest.

In the spring... serviceberry, redbuds, and dogwoods paint the winter landscape in pinks and whites. In the fall... the oak-hickory forest transforms from greens to yellows, peaches, reds, burgundies, and dark purples. The height of fall color is usually mid-October.

Forest Wildlife:
Hunting: Abundant whitetail deer and turkey are present. Other game species include: quail, woodcocks, doves, ducks, geese, rabbits, raccoons, squirrels, opossums, woodchucks, bobcats, and coyotes.

In addition, an Elk restoration program is in the works. The goal of the program is to re-establish this native species. Hunting will be used to control the herd's population.

For hunting, you typically need at least 5+ acres of land. So our Antler Ridge tracts are big enough for hunting... but also provide great value.

Note: the adjacent 420,000 acres of National Forest land can also be used for hunting!

Deer season starts: Bow, September 15th; Gun, November 8th

Turkey season starts: Mid-April

Viewing: This region is widely known for its wildlife due to the concentrated areas of conservation lands.

Antler Ridge is a great location for viewing and photographing wildlife. The neighboring forest has approximately 320 species of birds, 75 species of mammals, and 125 species of amphibians and reptiles.

Creeks, Streams, And Rivers: The major river in the area is the Current River (also known as the Ozark National Scenic Riverways). It's approximately 7 miles to the south, off Scenic Highway 19.

Sinking Creek is 2.5 miles to the west via the county road or 1/4 mile to the north, down in the hollow.

The smaller wet-weather or spring-fed creeks run mostly during the rainy season in the Spring. They don’t have water in them all the time, but when they do, they're quite beautiful. These creeks also serve to attract the many deer and turkey that inhabit this region of Missouri.

Most major rivers like the Current and Sinking Creek are full year round.

Access Roads And Nearby Towns: Roads: Each tract is just minutes away from the paved highway. Access to the property is via maintained dirt County Road 2221 and is only a short drive from paved Missouri State Highway "A" and Scenic Missouri State Highway 19.

There are numerous private dirt roads throughout the development that access every tract. The roads can be rough, so we recommend a truck for access. Roads leading to public lands are maintained without any cost to you.

Nearby towns: Salem, MO is 31 miles to the north. It has a Wal-Mart, hospital, and most other typical facilities.

Eminence, MO is 26 miles to the south. It's a smaller town with fewer facilities.

Recreational Uses: These tracts are perfect for a wide variety of recreational activities. You'll enjoy hunting, camping, ATV & motorcycle riding, hiking, biking, horseback riding, bird watching, GEOcaching, wildlife viewing, and many other activities.

Of course, camping is always one of the most popular activities in the area. But remember -- because you own the land -- you're also free to build a permanent hunting cabin, if you choose.

In addition, fishing, swimming, floating, rafting, tubing, and canoeing are extremely popular because of the spring-fed, crystal clear rivers in the area. Canoe rental shops line the roads throughout this region.

You're also sure to enjoy nearby Camp Zoe. It hosts LIVE concerts and music festivals -- in a natural amphitheater setting -- during the spring, summer, and fall months. Camp Zoe is approximately 12 miles to the south, along MO-19. For complete details, visit www.CampZoe.com.

Antler Ridge is a recreational wonderland!

The Terrain: The property was recently logged along some of the ridges -- however there are still plenty of large trees.

The advantage of clear cutting is that it saves you money when clearing your land. In addition, many of the cut trees still remain on the property, so you'll have plenty of available firewood.

The area features rolling hills, but there are also numerous level sites in the valleys and along the ridges and roads. These sites are just waiting for you to setup a camping spot or put up a small hunting cabin.

In addition, this development has been professionally surveyed and is well marked (so you'll know where your property lines are).
