Justin Head & Ryan Record, Whitetail Properties Land Specialists serving Franklin, Gasconade, Crawford, Phelps, and Dent Counties.
What We Do, and What We Don’t
We work rural and recreational property. Farms, hunting and recreational land, timber, acreage, and country homes, in five Missouri counties: Franklin, Gasconade, Crawford, Phelps, and Dent.
We’re not the right people for an operating business, a commercial building, or a conventional house on a subdivision lot in town. Agents work those markets every day and know them better than we do.
No agent knows every property type and every Missouri market equally well. We’d rather know a small territory deeply than claim expertise in places and property types we don’t work.
Hunting Land
Tracts where habitat, access, timber, water, neighboring land use, food plots, and actual hunting history can move both value and buyer demand.
Recreational Land
Creek ground, cabin sites, weekend properties, UTV acreage, fishing access, and land bought primarily because someone wants to spend time on it.
Farms & Pasture
Working farms, cattle ground, hay fields, tillable acreage, and legacy family farms where productive value and recreational value overlap.
Timber
Hardwood and pine tracts where species, maturity, recent harvesting, access, and recreational use all matter. When the timber is significant enough to justify it, a professional cruise may be part of the valuation.
Country Homes
Homes on acreage, horse property, homesteads, shouses, barndominiums, farmsteads, and residences on hunting or recreational ground. A country home sits in two buyer markets at once: one buyer starts the search with a bedroom count, another searches “house with acreage” or “horse property.” MLS and traditional residential channels reach the first buyer. For the second, every listing syndicates through CoStar Group’s land marketplaces, Land.com and LandWatch, where Whitetail Properties holds Signature Account status, plus more than 45 additional land websites. Residential marketing alone never touches that second market. You shouldn’t have to choose between marketing the house and marketing the land.
Investment Land
Land purchased for income, appreciation, 1031 exchange, conservation, recreation, or some combination.
Land for Sale Across Five Missouri Counties
We are boots-on-the-ground in five of the most beautiful counties in the Missouri Ozarks. They share a region, but they are not one market. Each county has its own creeks, ridges, deer herd, and landowner culture.
- Franklin County, Missouri — Land for sale: hunting tracts, farms, recreational properties.
- Gasconade County, Missouri — Land for sale: river bottoms, hardwood ridges, hunting land.
- Crawford County, Missouri — Land for sale: timber tracts, recreational acreage, hunting properties.
- Phelps County, Missouri — Land for sale: hunting land, cattle farms, rural homesites.
- Dent County, Missouri — Land for sale: large-acreage hunting tracts, timber, and recreational land.
We Made Our Own Data
We didn’t like the land price data available for our clients, so we made our own. We pull closed sales by hand, county by county, and publish the method with the results. Hopefully it helps you as well.
Most published land-pricing reports track asking prices from active listings or combine bare land with improved properties. Asking prices are what someone hoped to get. We track closings.
Get the Quarterly Ozarks Land Report
Every quarter we review qualifying closed sales across all five counties and report what sold, what buyers paid per acre, how it compares to prior periods, and where the sample is too thin to support a conclusion. If the market moved up, we show it. If it moved down, we show it. If the quarter is noise, we say so. Free every quarter. No spam, unsubscribe anytime.

Curious What Your Rural Property Might Sell For?
Maybe you’re ready to sell. Maybe you’re five years out. Maybe you’re not selling at all and want to understand what you own.
Bare land, a farm, a hunting tract, or a country home, we start with the best comparable closed sales we can find, look at what makes your property different, and explain the range the evidence supports. Sometimes the answer is fairly clear. Sometimes a property is unusual enough that the responsible answer is a wide range. Either way, we show you how we got there.
No obligation to list.
