Forest fortress! Tucked under a canopy of trees in Branson West, this home is a secluded country hideaway designed for those who crave space, privacy, and a place to put down lasting roots. Set on nearly 9 unrestricted acres, this partial-brick estate offers the rare feeling of a true escape without giving up everyday comforts. Featuring three spacious bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths across three full levels of living there's plenty of room for gathering, retreating, and everything in between. Warm wood accents add character throughout, while a brand-new back deck opens the door to peaceful woodland views. A classic covered front porch sets the tone for slow mornings and quiet evenings, and the attached two-car garage keeps daily life convenient. But the lifestyle doesn't stop at the house! A massive 40' x 60' detached shop delivers approximately 1,600 square feet of workshop space with concrete floors, electricity, heat, and two 12' x 14' overhead doors, perfect for projects, hobbies, and storage. Whether you're building, restoring, creating, or collecting, this space was made to support big plans! This property offers the freedom to grow, expand, and shape your own version of country living, making it a top choice for those seeking a private retreat or homestead.
