This is a pretty 5.51 acres located in a beautiful forested subdivision about an hour west of Osage Beach, Missouri! Located about two hours southeast of Kansas City, Missouri it is very close to Lake of the Ozarks and there are two boat ramps within 5 minutes! Forbes Lake of the Ozarks is a heavily forested subdivision with a few homes in it but for the most part it remains undeveloped with deer, turkeys and turtles running around - a stunning place! It is easy to navigate around this subdivision using the subdivision map as the roads are all marked and graded.

These two adjoining lots totaling 5.51 acres are located in a private part of the subdivision along two roads. Lot 3792 is a corner lot and lot 3791 sits at the end of a culdesac. They are both covered in lots of trees with some pretty big ones in the mix! Their shiny leaves were gorgeous in the summer sunshine! I would like to see both of the lots stay together since they make up such a beautiful big chunk of land. However they each do have their own assessor's parcel number so no additional paperwork needs to be done if you wanted to build a home on each lot or sell them off individually.

All of the pictures below were taken in June 2007 looking at both of the properties together. It was very easy to find with marked streets and the graded roads had recently been mowed making for easy access! There were beautiful sun beams streaming down to the forest floor lighting it up - a very pretty setting in the summertime! There are scattered wildflowers blooming about the area and a bit of underbrush in the woods. It is very thickly covered in trees and in fact it is hard to see the property through all of the trees. I have tried to shoot a few photos into the trees below and if you look closely you can see the forest floor with little underbrush in some of the photos. There is power only two lots away to the SE as well as to the SW according to the power map from the Land Owner's Association! There are a few neighbors in this area as also seen in the power map and it sits not too far away from the LOA building.

There are restrictive covenants on this subdivision and we have supplied a link to those covenants below on the land owners association website. A few highlights of these covenants includes, homes and modular homes allowed, no manufactured homes, no hunting, camping allowed up to three weeks at a time on certain units, free RV area allowed for all owners in the community area, no pigs or chickens, and horses allowed on lots that are a minimum of 4 acres per lot. Please visit the land owners website which I have included a link to below to read all of the covenants.

This big chunk of land is the side of a hillside with some flatter parts to the hillside and more aggressive parts to it on lot 3791. It is the essence of what the Ozark Mountains is known for with the hillsides tumbling down to the streams below where there is an abundance of wildlife. I personally think the hillsides are absolutely beautiful with such character. We do have some flat lots as well but they don't offer the views that the hillsides do in the Ozarks! The property sits on the side of a rolling hill. It slopes down off the road making a beautiful view of the hillside below.

I thought it would be a great spot for someone looking for a home to tuck away where no one can find them! Enjoy! Char the Explorer : )

There is an abundance of wildlife there walking around as if they were the only ones there! Turkeys and deer roam about hiding in the trees and walking across the roads with no worries!

The roads are marked and it is easy to navigate your way around this beautiful subdivision. Prior to visiting this subdivision you will need to contact us by email or phone so we can hook you up with the proper map to drive around this subdivision as well as a gate pass. This is a private subdivision that covers over 12,000 acres and has many roads that are a maze! The maps in our listing and the maps on the land owners website are not enough for you to find your way around without getting easily lost. We purchased a very large subdivision map through the LOA that we use to drive around this subdivision and you can purchase this map through them as well or we can mail it to you in the snail mail. You must make arrangements to receive this map prior to being able to receive the gate pass. The LOA does not assist our interested buyers in locating the property and please do not ask them to. You must be able to locate this property yourself. We suggest you use MapQuest to locate the LOA's address at 26506 Gardiner Rd. Edwards, MO 65326 so you have maps to the starting point.

It is located in Edwards, Missouri, about an hours drive southeast to Osage Beach where you will find a 100 store outlet mall and a 30 minute drive northwest to the town of Warsaw. Warsaw has a population of about 2,070 and is the closest Wal-Mart. It is centrally located to many nearby cities: 45 miles east of Osage Beach, 125 miles SE of Kansas City, 223 miles SW of St Louis, and 93 miles North of Springfield. It is heavily forested with streams flowing down to the lake. The varieties of trees is spectacular with oak, walnut, hickory, elm, and sycamore.

The subdivision is zoned for homes or modular homes. There is an RV park where you can stay at for free for up to three weeks at a time if you are a property owner! The RV dump site open during the warmer months. In the wintertime there is no bathhouse or dump site but you can still say for free. Some of the units allow RV use - you can find these units in their covenants which are online at www.forbesloa.org. You are allowed to camp up to three weeks at a time on lots in those units or build a home. We have tried to note in the listings those that allow camping on them.

Late Summer 2008 Update:We had a chance to visit Forbes Lake of the Ozarks once again. What a beautiful time of year - the fall leaves were barely turning color and people were still out enjoying the last of the warm sunshine! We caught many people enjoying the creek and the lake! We stayed the night in Osage Beach and ate at my favorite Italian Restaurant there, Domenico's! Osage Beach has a huge outlet mall and lots of touristy things to do and is about an hour east of the subdivision. Enjoy! Char the Explorer : )

A few more photos taken on our trips to this beautiful place!

This is what it's all about! While visiting the boat ramp, this young man who was arrow fishing showed off his catch of carp and buffalo. He let me know they were 5 - 6 pounds and they were looking for the 30 pounders! Very cool and great family fun!

I spent two days in this subdivision after getting rained out the first day - but what a great experience! It was a stormy afternoon and we went down to the boat launch to wait in hopes that it would pass over when the rain started coming down in buckets. There were big rolls of thunder, rain falling heavily, light wind in the trees, loud squawking birds, soft singing birds twirping, smell of wet dirt, even more really loud thunder and then the hot sun broke through and the sound of crickets started up again. What a cool thing to experience! It reminded me of the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland when the boat meanders down the river listening to the sounds of the south - what an experience to be in a thunder storm here!

There are a few homes in the subdivision but for the most part it remains undeveloped. The homes there are beautiful!
