3.82 Acres for Sale in Boonville, MO

This private and secluded property, steeped in local history, is full of potential and natural beauty. This property is part of Chouteau Springs, which was a famous health resort area around the turn of the last century. The natural spring in this area was renowned for its beneficial health qualities.

With direct street access on well-maintained Choteau Springs Road, this spacious property has the best of both worlds: easy access to several nearby cities and towns, but the space and privacy that create a feeling of being nearly off-grid and secluded in nature. There is a live spring running through one of the parcels – make sure to check out the photos.

There is NO zoning in Cooper County Unincorporated Areas – do what you want with your land! Build a house, “shouse” or tiny house – outbuildings such as detached garages, workshops, sheds all allowed. Bring a mobile/camper/RV, or just leave it as-is and enjoy being surrounded by nature. The lots are currently mostly wooded, with a few clearings. There is a slight amount of slope on the property, but it’s definitely buildable and has multiple suitable spots for a home-site.

Additionally – this property is further sub-divided into 16 lots. You can keep it all together like it is, or develop and rent/sell the lots individually. This would also be ideal for someone wanting to make a small campground or have mini Air BNBs rentals.

Electricty is available in the area. For water, a well will be required; this property is not on public sewer so a septic stank or alternative system would be needed.

At $29,330, this is the cheapest parcel of this size listed in the entire county. The price range for 1-3 acre lots on the market is an average of $30-60k.

Viewing Instructions:

You can go view the property at your convenience. Owner does not need to accompany. Please call/text us to let us know you’re heading out, so we can ensure we have our phone on us in case you need help or have any questions. We’d appreciate a couple hours notice if possible.

Driving Directions: Click HERE to open the destination in GoogleMaps, and simply enter your starting point to get step-by-step directions.

• From this link, you can press “Directions” (on the left), enter your starting point, and GoogleMaps will provide you with step-by-step directions.
• You can also click “Send to Phone” if you’re viewing this on your computer
• And “Save” to download the directions so they’ll still work if you lose cell service.

If for some reason you’re having trouble with that link, you can navigate to GPS Coordinates 38.9230, -92.8914. The nearest neighbor with a physical address is at the intersection of Choteau Springs Dr + Choteau Springs Rd is 8488 Choteau Springs Dr, Pilot Grove MO 65276.

There is not a driveway, so please park on the side of the road or on the cleared portion of the lot that runs along Choteau Springs Rd. Please make sure not to park anywhere that would obstruct through-traffic.

PLEASE NOTE! To walk the property lines, we highly recommend an app called OnX Hunt, which uses your phone’s GPS system to show you property boundary lines, and allow you to walk them in real-time. You can follow THIS LINK to open the lot on OnXHunt (you’ll need to be logged in already to open it) – as the parcels are all owned together, this link will show the boundaries for all 3 lots. Make sure to save it as an Offline Map before you head out so that you can use the app even if you lose cell service. Because the lot is wooded, and surrounded on 3 sides by wooded lots, this is by far the best method to follow the boundary lines of the property. We highly recommend ensuring you have this all taken care of before you head out there!

They have a 7-day free trial, so you can download the app and use it for free. Just remember to cancel before the trial ends so you aren’t charged. If you have any questions about how to use OnX Hunt to walk the property lines, or download the directions, please call us before you go down to the property so we can walk you through it.

We are investors, and are selling this lot For-Sale-By-Owner. You do not need to submit your offer through a real estate agent, and in our experience we close transactions more quickly and easily by having our dedicated transaction coordinator work directly with the Title Company and Buyers. We will also both save money on commission/fees by cutting out agents as the middle men. However, if you feel strongly about working with a Realtor, then you’re welcome to have them contact us on your behalf.

Please note: We do not offer owner-financing, but you could get a loan through a bank or another lender and we’d be happy to coordinate with them.

WHY ARE YOU SELLING IT SO CHEAP? We are often asked why our properties are priced below market value, and the answer is really simple: we choose to sell to you at wholesale prices. We are investors who purchase properties at a large volume and discounted rates, and we strongly believe in passing this discount on to our buyers.

DISCLAIMER: We attempt to provide detailed, accurate and up-to-date information in our listings, in order to help our buyers to the best of our ability. However, it ultimately remains the buyer’s responsibility to perform their own due diligence and double check any details that are of significant importance to you including acreage, utilities, build-ability, and approved/allowable use-age for the property. We are happy to help however we can.
