This unique gated lakefront property sits on approximately 40 acres of mixed wooded and open land, offering unmatched privacy, scenic beauty, and year-round recreation. Located just 45 minutes north of Springfield, MO, or 45 minutes southwest of Osage Beach, it provides convenient access to additional lakes and outdoor areas while remaining a secluded retreat. The main feature is a private, natural spring-fed lake of 6+ acres with a rock-solid dam and carefully engineered spillway that keeps water safely away from the home even during heavy rains. The lake is well-stocked with bass, bluegill, catfish, and crappie. A dock provides easy boat access, and an additional smaller pond on the property is also stocked. Excellent hunting opportunities abound for deer, turkey, ducks, and geese. The beautifully updated log cabin sits right on the water with peaceful views from the home and its large deck. The interior was fully renovated to a rustic-modern style in 2015 with a totally open floor plan. The main level includes a kitchen, living room, two sunrooms, master bedroom suite, second bedroom, half bath, and laundry room. The second floor was completely remodeled in 2020 with a new full bathroom, flooring, painting, making the home ideal for guests, multi-family use, or groups. It can easily sleep multiple families.
