Tucked away off a blacktop driveway, in a completely private setting surrounded by mature hardwoods, this exceptional 47.95 +/- acre retreat offers the kind of privacy and beauty that's becoming increasingly difficult to find. For hunters and outdoor enthusiasts, opportunities like this are few and far between. Nearly 48 contiguous acres provide exceptional private hunting with thriving populations of white-tailed deer and wild turkey, offering the rare opportunity to hunt your own recreational paradise — an experience that simply can't be replicated on a typical homesite. Located just minutes from downtown Steelville, proudly known as the Floating Capital of Missouri, you'll enjoy the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience with floating outfitters, restaurants, and endless outdoor recreation all within easy reach. Rich in timeless charm and character, this beautifully maintained brick home offers nearly 4,900 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, a 3-car attached garage and a 30x50 shop complete with a roll-up door, duct system and its own HVAC system. Inside, soaring vaulted wood ceilings, rich hardwood flooring, a stunning floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace and oversized windows fill the home with natural light while showcasing breathtaking views. The spacious kitchen features updated cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a large center island and an adjoining dining area built for gathering. Best of all, the stainless-steel kitchen appliances, washer and dryer all convey with the property. Designed for both comfort and functionality, this home offers 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, 2 half bathrooms and the potential for a 5th bedroom. The main-level primary suite is a peaceful retreat, complete with lake views, a spacious walk-in closet and a luxurious en-suite bath — featuring a double vanity, soaking tub and separate shower. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms provide plenty of room for family and guests. Thoughtful details continue throughout the home, including separate HVAC zones and dedicated water heaters for efficient, customized comfort — along with an abundance of closet space, many equipped with automatic lighting. The finished walkout lower level is an entertainer's dream, featuring a massive recreation room, wet bar, full bathroom and endless flexibility for a home gym, hobbies and guests. A private well, septic system and water softener add to the convenience and practicality of the estate. If the home itself captures your attention, the outdoors will steal your heart. From the expansive deck and covered patio, to the 1-acre private stocked lake and towering hardwoods — every inch of this property is meant to be enjoyed. Whether you're entertaining family and friends, hunting deer and turkey, or simply soaking in the peace and privacy — this is country living at its finest.
