This peaceful & secluded retreat at the edge of the Ozarks features a modern country home built with the kind of attention that sets it apart from today's profit driven construction market practices. On 13.28 acres of mixed native prairie and woodland, with rural water & electric service & a 100 year old hand dug well, a wet weather creek feeds a private 1.5 million gallon USDA engineered pond, free of livestock contamination. Deer, wild turkeys, songbirds & other wildlife are at home outside your window as early morning mist rises in the distance where fish rest in the shade at the tranquil water's edge. Over a mile of walking/atv trails wind through established indigenous permaculture like walnut, persimmon, pecan, fruit & various oaks with countless flowers & medicinal herbs. 2677 sf of finished climate controlled space just expanded & updated from a 2010 build is full of handcrafted hardwood trim & wallcoverings, all designed & detailed by the craftsman who built this 2 bedroom, 1 bath home & studio for his family & workspace. Systems & architecture incorporate genuine materials & avoid many problems that homeowners encounter, especially if self-reliance is the priority. This freedom-minded homestead is a great relocation or bugout destination with an awesome corner office, heated decorative concrete floors, concrete overlays & smooth easy to clean finishes throughout. Enameled steel panels bring strength & protection while keeping system maintenance accessible without damage. With the plumbing already roughed in for a 2nd kitchen & bath, the studio could be a separate apartment, Airbnb etc. A 500 gallon propane tank, security camera system, 1940's era rock outbuilding & cellar plus EMF/RF shielding & mitigation & other environmental advantages all add value to this location about an hour North of Springfield & Joplin MO.
