Below, picture from Google Earth, has an overlay of the topo map, with our original 140 acre tract outlined. It shows elevations, with roads, meadows, etc. labeled. The property size is approximately 1/2 square mile. It is fenced in and has miles of trails on it for hiking, ATV's, dirt bikes, etc.
In 2014, an additional 15 acres was added, for a total of 155 acres in the property. The below Topographic Map shows the meadows, ponds, with the ATV paths in yellow.
Below, is a wider topographical view, several miles wide, with the Little
Niangua River, and Lake of the Ozarks at the top. Our
land is outlined, a little left from the center of the map, with the word 'Hollow' of Husson Hollow within it. We're surrounded by very rural countryside for miles!
Above is our furthest South part of Husson Hollow. We call this area 'Back Meadow'
The property extends a half mile to the left, and ends at the far right of this view.
Above: Ryan, Barb and Matt in Husson Hollow, which is the largest of the meadows on the property.
This view is looking South up the hollow away from the lake.
Above is one of the ten 'meadow' areas on the property. We call
this one 'Rocky Meadow.' It is on the property's highest point, and the picture shows some of the 'rock outcroppings'
on it. The hill here tops off with a stone field that looks like textured
lava rock. This is a special place with many rock features covering it along with
the natural vegetation, that inspires landscape ideas such as a terraced garden, a rock garden with paths, pergolas, patios, etc. We have entertained
the idea of a very modern hilltop house here, with lots of glass, suitable to this secluded
and uniquely beautiful spot.
Above are our friends, Jim, Marc and Brian standing in Rocky Meadow, near the highest elevation on the property.
'Husson Hollow Creek', the largest of several streams running throughout the property. There are many views like this. This one runs parallel to Husson Hollow, on
the Southeast side.
Above is one of my favorite potential home sites, we call it 'Camp Meadow' because we camped there
the first time we stayed on the property. It is a clearing on a bluff on the Northwest
side of Husson Hollow, approximately 4 acres of open space on an approximately 6 acre lot, (with
a potential view of the Hollow, if trees are cleared).

Life is good at the cabin! We hope you can enjoy it with us...

Misc Q. & A.
Are we on the Lake of the Ozarks?
The Lake is 2,700 feet from our cabin.
We have deeded access to the lake at our commonly-owned boat loading ramp,
Fishing and swimming at the ramp is fine.
Is there Phone, TV, or Internet Connectivity at the cabin?
No TV reception or phone (no 'land-line' or cell reception) at the cabin, however,
you can get good Cell phone reception at our boat dock.
Internet is available 20 minutes away in Camdenton, where there are several wireless
access points. We often go to nearby Camdenton for necessities and services.
The cabin entertainment technology extent is a couple TV's on DVD players, with
no antennas or cable. Also a nice stereo sound system. Does the guitar amp count?
AM/FM/Weather radios? Walkie-talkies? Yep, Ozark HighTech! If you don't remember to bring your favorite DVD's and CD's,
we have a collection there, and a book library as well as numerous games including
a horseshoe pit, bocce ball, croquet set, and more.
The cabin is a place to 'get away from it all', which is a big part of the charm
of being there.
What about the ponds? Fishing? We have the Cabin Pond, and Poe Spring Pond.
The Cabin Pond is the first one you see; is about 150 feet in diameter with a 15' round island,
with a 40' bridge to the island, we first dug it in 2007, then finalized it in 2009.
The Cabin Pond is about two hundred
feet in front of the cabin with a windmill areation system, the bridge, the island, and a swim platform. We do have fish
in the ponds. The Cabin Pond was stocked in '09 with Largemouth Bass, Bluegills and Channel Catfish, however it appears that
both ponds get too hot in the summer to support fish growing to a size for fishing in the ponds. Fishing is excellent
in the river/lake close by. If you fish, bring your gear! There is another pond, Poe Spring Pond, about 250 feet West
of the Cabin pond, across Husson Hollow Creek, that has been there for many years, secluded in Poe Spring Meadow. What are our most
important reasons to be there?
- Scenic seclusion with total privacy...Peace and quiet, yet close to Camdenton and Osage Beach amenities.
- 155 acres of woods, paths, streams, and meadows to hike and explore; the lake to swim, fish and
boat in.
- The cabin, with its beautiful wood-finished interior...cozy, charming. All appliances are May
2007 new. The wrap-around porch is great for relaxing.
- Husson Hollow Creek to enjoy, with a cool pool to wade in, 80 ft next to the cabin.
- Floating in the lake is another great way to cool off on those hot MO summer days.
- Kayaking on the Little Niangua arm of the lake (Yes, we have two kayaks at the cabin! A
single, and a 2-person Kayak.)...we are at what is known as the 'quiet end' of the lake.
- ATV touring of the land. We have a Kawasaki Mule Utility vehicle and two ATV's there to get
around and enjoy. Perimeter fence is in place, with approximately 5 miles of ATV paths, giving access to much of the property.
- The earthy fun of using the tractor to mow and move logs, etc. as we keep the place in good shape.
Clearing ground with the DR Brush machine, chain sawing, hydraulic log splitting, landscaping, gardening, etc. are all activities
we enjoy.
- The wildlife...We have prime deer and turkey hunting land, with places that are deer sleeping areas
and wild turkey nesting grounds.
- It'a a place to find tranquility, away from city life.

The pond, with the bridge going out to the island, has a bench and swim platform on it, photo taken April
