Montreal is a rural community near Camdenton that is ideal for cattle
Montreal is on the outskirts of the Lake of the Ozarks, with more open land and a quieter atmosphere than the rest of the area. “It’s a beautiful piece of country, and it’s just a laid-back environment,” says Realtor Bob Kupfer with Coldwell Banker Lake Country, who primarily works in acreage and commercial real estate. Part of the appeal of the area is the land, which Kupfer says is ideal for cattle. “It’s probably the best fertile soil and place to raise cattle in Camden County, or as good as any,” he says. The area has only two restaurants and a convenience store, so residents travel about 10 miles into Camdenton for errands.
The core of Montreal is a small area of only a few blocks.

Recreation options include Lake of the Ozarks State Park and hunting
People spend hours on the water, fishing, swimming or boating at the Lake of the Ozarks State Park. Beaches and grassy overlooks dot the shoreline. On land, hiking trails go through forests and meadows, leading to springs and blufftops. The Toronto Springs Conservation Area is one of the closest public hunting spaces, with popular game like turkey, deer and duck. There are also hiking trails and a canoe launch onto Wet Glaize Creek, where common catches include bass and crappie. “People love the water, and that creek runs pretty much the whole year,” Kupfer says. Most of the other hunting land available is privately owned. At the nearby Golf Club at Deer Chase, a public, 18-hole course, members get discounted tee times.

Ranch styles on acres of land fill the area
Thick clusters of oak and pine trees break up Montreal’s landscape of rolling hills and pastures. Ranch-style homes fill the area, and some new traditional houses have colonial influences. “Most of them are on three to five acres,” Kufer says. “Some are on bigger acreage with some cattle.” Most properties were built after 1970. Prices generally range from $220,000 to $510,000, depending on the condition and acreage. “You don’t find too many very expensive things out there,” Kupfer says. There are some manufactured homes, which can cost $210,000 and $250,000. Land is also available, starting at $10,000 for nearly three acres.
According to First Street, Montreal has a major risk of being impacted by wildfires. However, the landscape helps combat that risk. “Usually, when you have fires that burn a lot of acreage, there’s no break, there’s no pasture ground,” Kupfer says. “And out there, there’s quite a bit of pasture.” The Niangua Basin Prescribed Burn Association also helps manage low-intensity fires on private land in Camden County, further reducing risk.
Manufactured homes can sit on large spacious acreages in and around Montreal.

Residents rely on cars to get around
State Route 7 passes through Montreal and eventually intersects with Highway 5 in Camdenton. Springfield-Branson National Airport is about 85 miles away and offers nonstop service to 15 destinations. The closest emergency room is at Lake Regional Hospital, about 20 miles away, although people head about 25 miles to Mercy Hospital in Lebanon.
Most shopping and dining options are in the nearby Camdenton
All dining options in Montreal are at the intersection of State Route 7 and E Street. Bottle Tops is a local bar and grill that prides itself on its hometown atmosphere. There is also Hunt Brothers Pizza. Residents can pick up some essentials at the Buffalo Prairie Mercantile, but Kupfer says, “When you go for family groceries, there’s nothing there to accommodate that.” There is a Save A Lot and Walmart in Camdenton. Target and Lowe’s are about 25 miles away.
