Anyone around Springfield, MO that can help us with the general area 1 Attachment(s) We are looking to migrate and have located the area around Springfield as a very good value proposition. We are looking for anyone around this area. We have some interest in Cabool, Mountain View, Buffalo and some other points north and east with good properties. Anyone out there that can give us advice on the area, places to avoid in terms of planting ourselves, place we should look at? Also - anyone that has the time to spare and a good camera that would like to be paid to go to some of these and actually check them out for us. Would involve us giving you FRN's or real money for your time. Please PM, we are very interested in this area to plant a stake and really could use some help if any locals are here. Thanks a quintillion. We might even throw in some of these:

Re: Anyone around Springfield, MO that can help us with the general area I don't live in Springfield (or Missouri) anymore, but I grew up in Branson, and lived in Ava until just a few years ago. How close to Springfield do you need to be? Douglas, Ozark, Texas, Howell and Iron counties are your best values. I personally think Douglas and Ozark counties are the best places in Missouri to live. Are you looking for raw land or an existing place? Ava is a great little town, population somewhere around 4k, has a super, super bulk foods store, a feed mill, a nice lumber company, and lots of homesteaders. You might take a look at some of the listings here: http://www.ozarkmountainsrealestate.com/

"booger"!!! county :) (inside joke) poor value countys would be (based on land costs and taxes and requlation) (anything here would be way below Calif taxes) Greene Christian Taney If you want proximaty to Springfield its best to go northerly into webster/polk/dallas/ countys as a general rule northerly of springfield the topography is less mountainous as you go south of springfield the terrain becomes low mountainous down into northern arkansas (the ozark mountains are nothing like rockies but make for some large hills n hollers)

Re: Anyone around Springfield, MO that can help us with the general area Yep Booger County :). One of the best places on the planet!

Re: Anyone around Springfield, MO that can help us with the general area Thanks all for responses. We were just scrubbing the nets looking for land and water and house and spring and well and pond and garden and bug out and cheap and low taxes and this was the only thing that came up. But I run on. I will ping back some PM's later tonight, thanks for all the pM's and for the very useful posts from a couple. Right there is where we are looking in terms of those counties/areas. It seems to be the best value in the civilized part of Amerikuh right now.

Do you know if Douglas, Ozark, Texas, or Howell counties have building codes. I went to their websites and they don't have building inspector or department.

Re: Anyone around Springfield, MO that can help us with the general area Hey now wait a second... I remember an Aussie trying to eat ME! :wink: Quote:

Re: Anyone around Springfield, MO that can help us with the general area Douglas and Ozark do not have building codes. I seriously doubt Texas or Howell do either. Green, Webster, Christian... I believe they all have codes. Quote:

Mouse: Google Maps Street View offers you the ability to use your computer to essentially drive around most neighborhoods now. Even many small remote towns are now on Google Maps. Take a virtual drive before you pay someone to take pictures. High-speed internet connection is helpful for the best results.

Re: Anyone around Springfield, MO that can help us with the general area Greene, Christian, Taney Building codes pretty much none elsewhere except larger towns (in the immediate vicinity of Springfield) Webster does NOT have building codes currently there is a general state building code for public buildings and DNR etc tries to control things like wells and septics etc.

Re: Anyone around Springfield, MO that can help us with the general area Thanks for everyone's response. Still lookin for that right place. I checked out the link CJT posted, very handy. Lots of nice properties on that one. We're stressing right now, though, with selling the house we're in right now. Please keep all the great advice coming!! Thank you!

TTAZZMAN | 07-23-2009 10:55 AM
Re: Anyone around Springfield, MO that can help us with the general area the local craigslist is a good place to search for propertys

Re: Anyone around Springfield, MO that can help us with the general area Well, it took me a while to figger out what booger county was.

TTAZZMAN | 07-25-2009 01:29 PM
Re: Anyone around Springfield, MO that can help us with the general area Booger county is Douglas county here is a link to a description of how the county got this nickname http://www.city-data.com/forum/misso...er-county.html

Re: Anyone around Springfield, MO that can help us with the general area LOL actually it isn't for sale, we bought it to retire on. It's a gorgeous piece, but probably wouldn't appeal to everyone. It's like a large bowl.. at the top for about 100 feet on all sides it's pretty steep... and once you walk down, you only see what you own. The very center of the land (about 10 acres) is flat, with a nice spring, and several wet weather creeks. It's totally private and we flipped over the piece. However... we may never get to retire in this economy! Quote:
