Shady Ridge Parcel 4

• 4 Wheel-drive Access
• Off-grid
• Professionally Surveyed
• No Mobile Homes

Located in southern Texas County, Shady Ridge Parcel 4 is a remote, 2.40-acre parcel that’s been fully surveyed, staked, and recorded. The road into this property is rough—we strongly recommend four-wheel-drive—so you really should check it out BEFORE you place your order. (See the Driving Directions.) Once you get there, we’ve driven a new T-post at each corner for longer-term location.

The parcel is predominantly covered in mature oak trees, with a few other species of hardwoods mixed in. The terrain is hilly, to a degree pretty typical of the Ozarks.

The parcel is a smidgeon over 165 feet wide, that is, east to west, and the longest side, north to south, is 681 feet. If you anticipate putting a cabin here, you’ll want to remember that there’s a 100-foot setback from the road. That’s important because the parcel is more level in at front, whereas the back section features signature Ozarks steepness.

From the parcel, it’s 2 miles to pavement, and about 12 miles to either Cabool or Willow Springs, Missouri.

Size
2.40 acres, fully-surveyed and staked.

Title
We will pass Fee Simple Title to the purchaser conveying 100% of the ownership of the property including all timber, mineral and water rights. We own this property free and clear of all tax liens, judgments mortgages or other encumbrances. As purchaser, you are not assuming any existing liens. We will record a Warranty Deed to the property in your name after you have made six monthly payments.

---

Access
Access is via Shady Ridge Road, a private road maintained by landowners.

Utilities:
Water
We do not supply water or water systems to any of these properties. Purchasers of these parcels need to arrange to drill their own private water well. For information on drilling procedures, you should contact local well-drillers. Permits are not required to drill water wells for single-family dwellings; however, you are required to hire a state-licensed well-driller.

Electric
This parcel is off-grid. That is, electrical service has not been extended to the property. We recommend a private solar array.

Septic
You may not take up occupancy until you provide sewage disposal for your property in the form of either:
(A.) a septic tank and leach field, or
(B.) a commercially manufactured composting toilet system.

The State of Missouri says that any septic tank and leach field on less than three acres must be installed to Missouri Department of Natural Resources specifications. You can get information on these by speaking to the Health Department in your respective County Seat.

Since they do not endanger the ground-water, properly operated and maintained composting toilets are not restricted, and thus are permitted at all locations.



Garbage Disposal
Open dumping is illegal in the state of Missouri. Before occupying the property, you must make arrangements with a State-approved garbage collection company
Gas
Propane gas is available from local dealers.

Mail Delivery
Mail is delivered to Shady Ridge on Rainbow Drive. To establish a mailbox there, contact the postmaster at the local Post Office.

Deed Restrictions
1. No buildings shall be constructed closer than 100 ft. from a roadway or 30 ft. from a boundary. (This may be adjusted in certain locations.)

Explanation: buildings placed closer can cause situations that interfere with road maintenance and utility transmission.

2. No refuse, debris, unused building materials nor derelict vehicles shall be allowed to collect on the premises.

Explanation: piles of junk are not only unsightly, but tend to spread to adjoining vacant parcels. Dead cars and junk make it harder for us to sell adjacent properties, or for you to sell yours.

3. You may keep whatever livestock or pets you wish so long as they are not allowed to create a nuisance to neighboring land owners.

Explanation: this probably means that if you want to keep pigs in the most common fashion, you need a parcel of at least 5 acres with a back corner located away from anyone else's home. Lots of barking dogs may also cause you problems depending on the size of your parcel and how you locate your facilities.

4. No parcel shall be further subdivided.

Explanation: you may build more than one residence on a single parcel, but you may not deed away a part of the parcel to someone else.

5. All wastewater treatment facilities shall be constructed in accordance with applicable state water quality standards.

Explanation: if you plan to construct an in-ground septic system, it must meet state standards. Additionally, the state says that any septic system on less than three acres be built to Missouri Department of Natural Resources specifications. Parcels of 5 acres or greater are virtually unrestricted. Since they do not endanger the ground-water, composting toilets are not restricted.

Deed restrictions are restrictions on this property which have been recorded with the county, and which will remain in effect even when the property changes hands. Our contract, which expires when you no longer owe us money, contains certain requirements in addition to these.

Building codes and/or permits
Texas County does not require building permits. The County Health Department must approve your septic system.

To access this property you will need a 4-wheel-drive vehicle.

From Willow Springs, Missouri, go north on Highway 137. About 3 miles out of town, Highway HH turns north (left), and so should you. Follow HH through some very scenic country, crossing several small streams that flow east. After about 6.5 miles, you'll come to where HH intersects with Highway U; go straight, staying on HH, and turn right on the first county (unpaved) road beyond, Jackson Road. Follow this about half a mile to the intersection with Rainbow Drive and take that to the left. Follow Rainbow Drive for 0.3 miles, where you will turn right onto Shady Ridge Road. This road, in turn, runs about 1 mile through a stand of young pines, then down into a steep hollow and to another fork where you go right, uphill. When you come to the top of this hill, you'll be in Shady Ridge. The road forks again in front of an unusual construction; you take the left fork. In approximately 311 feet, you will see a T-post next to a survey pin; this is the southwest corner of Shady Ridge Parcel 4. The road frontage starts here and continues 165 feet to the southeast corner.

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.

You may consider moving to the property after you have paid a $1,000.00 deposit. You must receive approval from us before moving any personal items to the property.

Requirements expected to be completed prior to moving, include:

1. Sign up with a local trash collector. Proof of paid invoice will be required.

2. Provide a septic tank and leach field approved by the County Health Department OR a commercially manufactured composting or incinerating toilet. Proof of paid invoice will be required.

3. Payments on all accounts with us must be current.

4. If placing a portable building on the property, provide us with the name and address of the vendor.
