000 State Highway 5, Ava, MO 65608

Located just outside of Ava in Douglas County, this 15-acre parcel offers highly desirable flat land without the hassle of navigating miles of rough gravel roads. While typical Ozark tracts are broken up by deep ravines, the main interior of this ridge-top plateau is remarkably flat, quiet, and highly functional, offering an expansive, clean slate for a homestead, hobby farming, or a hunting cabin. The property features a unique layout designed for ultimate privacy. It rises roughly 50 feet above Missouri State Highway 5 on the east side, creating a natural sound and visual buffer from the road. On the west side, it sits 150 feet above the valley floor. The property is beautifully enclosed by a thick perimeter of mature forest. To maintain permanent seclusion between this plateau and the valley below, a timber buffer along the western bluff line will remain as a permanent conservation easement, ensuring your homestead stays completely private. The interior layout features a fantastic mix of mature forest and partially cleared openings, providing immediate, level building sites for a home, cabin, or barn. The combination of open ground and established timber also creates an ideal habitat for local wildlife, making the property a prime spot for deer and turkey hunting. Overhead electric lines close by makes for easy, cost-effective utility hookups, and a new boundary survey was recently completed. Showings by appointment only. The Parcel ID used for this listing is for the parent tract. This 15-acre property is a newly surveyed split, and Douglas County will issue a new, individual parcel number to the buyer with the recording of the new deed.
