Nestled in the center of 7 1/2 acres of mature trees this home was designed to blend into its beautiful surroundings. The natural cedar shakes and hickory blend architectural shingles present a pleasant image when cruising up the drive. Unparalleled privacy and access to wildlife while still being only 10 miles from Springfield's city limits by 4 lane hwy. This home is easily accessible as it sits on a paved and county maintained road with underground utilities. 

 

The house was originally designed as a 3 bedroom 3 bath home with loft and office plus 2 large living areas and 32x24 3 car garage with 350 sq ft shop overhead. The main house is now 3 years old and the garage and master suite are currently beginning construction. I have included a perfect "comp" that sold in August on a 5 acre wooded lot less than a mile from the house for $375,000. After making minor adjustments in sq ft comparrissons a complete version of the house would compare favorably at $355,000. However the sluggish real estate market has influenced the decision to sell by owner instead of hiring a realtor, passing the $21,000 commission and another $35,000 discount to the buyer!

 

At $304,000 this home boasts solid oak hardwood floors throughout the main floor, slate flooring on the 1st floor and baths, Napoleon Wood Burning Fireplace (& never a shortage of wood) capable of heating the entire main floor, 2x6 exterior walls R-19 insulated, monthly average utility bill in this all electric home is only $100 (verifyable!) Insurance at around $1000 per year + taxes at $1267/yr. These figures will increase slightly with completion of the garage and master suite. Other features include granite countertops, cherry custom cabinets, custom trim throughout the house, 7'6" Solid Mahogany entry door and Bella Wood Windoows. A matching cedar playhouse is also included. Spiral staircase optional for an additional $3,000 or will swap for the playhouse. 

 

Surrounded by unoccuppied property, 80 wooded acres with out of state owners creating a perfect wildlife sanctuary. This property has a resident fox who raises her pups in a den less than 50 yards from the front door, groundhogs, red and grey squirrells, deer, wild turkeys, hoot owls and woodpeckers to name a few. Close to the city, but still far enough from the lights to see the stars, out of range from traffic noise and airports. Also just 40 minutes from Branson shows and entertainment, Branson Landing, Silver Dollar City, Imax and more. Bass Pro's flaggship mega store,  St. Louis Cardinal affiliated AA Minor league Baseball, Hammons Hall for the Performing Arts are all within 15 minutes! Scenic waterways for trout fishing, kayaking and canoeing, Tablerock, Taneycomo, Bull Shoals and Stockton Lakes all nearby. What a great location!
