Like new all brick 3 bedroom, 2 bath ranch home on 26.1 acres updated with $21,500 in remodeling in 2016. Currently the property is a beef cow/calf hobby farm with 15 head on permanent pasture, fenced plus corral stays & w/more land available to lease or purchase. This modern residence sits away from the highway toward the middle of the property along with a 30'x 60' metal equipment barn which formerly had horse stalls, and a AKC approved kennel with paved apron & runs and a 3 bay utility shed. The '98 home features no maintenance brick exterior and upgraded interior laminate flooring throughout; new exterior and interior front & rear doors; vinyl tilt-in windows; nice kitchen w/custom cabinets, stainless steel appliances; huge brick hearth living room with wood burning insert & blower; spacious kitchen/dining area; office; main floor laundry room w/cabinets; 1 car garage now used as a family room (can easily be returned to garage); and a partial unfinished basement with tons of storage or refuge in a storm.

Enjoy the large covered front porch that overlooks hundreds of acres from the privileged hilltop setting. Watch the deer and turkey from your large deck out back overlooking the outbuildings and mature oaks that surround the immediate area near the house. There's a new automatic waterer for cattle and plenty of hunting for those who enjoy being out in nature early or late.

Taxes and utility expense are very low here even though the owners entertain family frequently. It is located convenient to town less than a 5 minute drive to schools or market, or where you can take I-44 NE to Lebanon in about 15 minutes, or go SW to Marshfield in about the same, or Springfield in 45 minutes. The area offers great recreational lakes for fishing or water sports, and plenty of country western theme venues in Branson, MO just 35 miles south of Springfield. Cost of living in SW MO is some of the most economical in the USA and the quality of life is unsurpassed with great schools, 2 large regional hospitals, 3 large universities, Springfield/Branson regional airport and commerce of every description from micro breweries to modern libraries & theaters.

This is a great value in an area of peace and tranquility where you can raise a family or retire in comfort and enjoy livestock or other pets all on your private acreage. You will love this property, so call for a private showing today.
