Private Ozark Retreat - Custom Ranch Home with Shop, Shed, & AcreageEscape to the northern hills of the Missouri Ozarks with this thoughtfully designed, secluded retreat where comfort, efficiency, & country living come together. 'When I drive through those gates, the rest of the world disappears.' This unsolicited sentiment from the seller perfectly reflects the peace & privacy this property offers. In 2017, the current owners meticulously built this custom designed 2,700 sq ft home featuring 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, & an attached 2-car garage on 10.85 surveyed acres that had been in the family for generations. The open floor plan highlights cedar ceiling accents & durable plank flooring throughout. Energy efficiency was a priority, with solar power, radiant floor heat, a high-efficiency heat pump, & supplemental mini-splits for added comfort. Luxury details include single-level 'age-in-place' design, wide doors, granite countertops, propane & electric fireplaces, water filtration, tankless hot water, & fiber internet. A light-filled sunroom offers a panoramic backyard view, while outdoor features include a covered front porch, shaded back patio, in-ground storm shelter, basketball court, & backup generator. The property's outbuildings are equally impressive. A 40'x50' insulated steel shop offers 12' sidewalls, 3 insulated overhead doors (2-9'x9' & 1-12'x14'), 200-amp power with RV hookup, & a 330 sq ft apartment complete with kitchen, full bath, laundry hookups, & a mini-split for heat & air. Solar panels on the roof serve both the home & shop, keeping utilities affordable. A 24'x48' tractor shed with a 14'x48' lean-to provides even more storage, giving the property 7 total garage bays. With fruit & nut trees, wildlife, & colorful sunsets, this retreat offers more than a home--it's a lifestyle. From morning coffee with the sound of turkeys, to evenings by the fire, every detail is designed for peaceful country living. Schedule a tour to experience it for yourself.
