Private Ozark Retreat – Custom Ranch Home with Shop, Shed, and Ac

Private Ozark Retreat – Custom Ranch Home with Shop, Shed, and Acreage.  

Escape to the northern hills of Missouri Ozarks, just above the Salt Creek Valley, with this thoughtfully designed property where comfort, efficiency, and country living come together. “When I drive through those gates, the rest of the world disappears.”  Those are the seller’s words, not mine. This unsolicited statement is a testament to the quality of the improvements and the secluded location that can only be offered through this listing.

Let me tell you the story of this property: This home was constructed by the current owners in 2017 on property that has been in the family for generations. The house is on 10.85 surveyed acres and boasts 3 bedrooms & 2.5 bathrooms, 2,700 sq ft of living space, and a 2-car, attached garage (24’x24’). The home showcases an open floor plan, cedar ceiling accents, and luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout. Efficiency and comfort were a huge part of the home’s plan with 2x6 exterior walls & trussed roofing plus Pella windows, solar panel energy (8.5KW solar array), hot water radiant floor heat, 4-tonne Goodman heat pump (18 seer), and 2 supplemental mini-splits.  Comfort features include an “age in place” design including a single-level floor plan, wide doors and accessible shower/tub features, plus granite counter tops, propane and electric fireplaces, water softener & filter, tankless hot water heater, plantation blinds, and fiber internet. The home also showcases a sunroom (sewing room) with a panoramic view of the backyard.  Exterior features to the home include a 12’x18’ covered front porch, beautiful covered back patio area, in-ground storm shelter, a 30x36 basketball court with goal, and a 22KW propane-fired generator for the home and shop.

The outbuilding features on this property are fantastic. The 40’x50’ insulated steel building was constructed just prior to the home, and the sellers lived in an RV inside the shop while they finished the apartment quarters found within the shop.  The shop boasts 12-foot side walls, 3 insulated garage doors (2-9’x9’ & 1-12’x14’), 200-amp power w/50-amp RV hookup and interior RV sewer connection, several windows for natural lighting, and a 330 sq ft apartment space with washer/dryer hookups, kitchen, full bath, tankless water heater, water softener, and mini-split HVAC.  The solar panels sit on the west slope of the roof and provide electricity to the shop and home. Check out the cheap electric bills on this property! Very few property listings boast an outbuilding with these types of features. Additionally, a 24’x48’ tractor shed with an attached 14’x48 lean-to provides even more space for equipment storage.  This building is accessed through an 8’x16’ garage door, giving 7 total garage parking locations on the property.

With fruit trees, frequent wildlife visitors, and colorful sunsets, this property isn’t just a home—it’s a lifestyle. From sipping coffee on spring mornings while listening to turkeys gobble, to watching hummingbirds dance around the roses, to evenings by the fireplace—every detail was designed for peaceful, country living.
