Driving Directions to Locate Jacks Fork Farmstead Parcel V

From Willow Springs, drive north on State Highway 137 exactly 9.0 miles beyond the city-limit sign. Jacks Fork Farmsteads is located on your left (north) just before the highway begins the long downgrade to the South Jacks Fork River. You'll see the entrance to JFF on your left; look for the mailboxes and the small unassuming sign. Follow this entrance road over a concrete cattle guard, and you're inside JFF. Now, follow the road to the bottom of the hill. There's not much way you can go wrong here, but just to be sure, it's a little less than 0.4 of a mile down to the small creek. Crossing the creek, you bear to the left (west) up the steep hill in front of you, keep bearing left at the hairpin turn, and proceed ever upward until Parcel V begins on your left (south) a quarter-mile after you cross the creek. We’ve driven a t-post with a ribbon into the ground to mark the approximate spot where the parcel begins. Disclaimer: These directions are accurate to the best of our knowledge but cannot be guaranteed. Visit this property at your own risk, we are not responsible for accidents.

No Down Payment - Warranty Deed after Six Months

Welcome to OzarkLand.com where, since 1982, we have dedicated ourselves to making Ozark Mountain land available to anyone who sincerely wants to own it, on a first-come, first-served basis. You don’t need to make a sizeable down payment, or any down payment at all—just start making the monthly payments.

All of the properties we sell are owned by us, free and clear. That means that when we pass title to you, you don't need to worry that some disinterested third party—such as a bank—may own an interest in the property. This is frequently not the case in the real estate world at large.

We give you a Warranty Deed guaranteeing the title—no lease-options, no long-term land contracts, but fee-simple title to the property after only six months' timely payments.

All of the properties featured in our inventory are available to you via our very liberal financing plan. In fact, we’ll finance your whole land purchase with less paperwork and frustration than you'd experience buying a used car, and with no hidden expenses and one low-interest rate that’s remained unchanged since 1982.

We'll set up a contract with you in return for one monthly payment. After six monthly payments, we give you a Warranty Deed to the property, and we hold a Deed of Trust and Quit-Claim Deed as security. We record the deeds at the county courthouse at our expense, and we pay all closing costs.

There are no penalties for pre-payment.

Terms are 9% simple interest for 15 years.
