Ridgedale, MO Condo for Sale

Ridgedale occupies the far east end of Table Rock Lake, one of the largest in Missouri's Ozark Mountains. Like the other Ozark lakes, it's famous for its glassy water and mountain scenery. Big Cedar Lodge, one of the country's most popular wilderness resorts, occupies much of Ridgedale's land area. "Once you go south of Hollister, you're in Johnny Morris country," says Realtor Parker Stone with Keller Williams Tri-Lakes. "He's done so much for the community and totally changed what this area offers." Johnny Morris is the founder of Bass Pro Shops and the mind behind Big Cedar Lodge. Today, the resort spans more than 4,600 acres. As the property and its popularity grew, so did Ridgedale. "Most of the homes here were built during the boom in the 1990s and 2000s," Stone says. Now, residents of these full-time and vacation communities enjoy summers on Table Rock Lake with access to Big Cedar Lodge's scenic amenities. Ridgedale occupies the eastern shore of this end of the lake. There's a mix of residential communities and vacation rental developments on the lakefront and in the surrounding woods. This is predominantly a vacation spot, so single-family homeowners are often here
