If you want all the pleasures of country living on a private estate, yet still be close to the city, this is for you.
 
Bring your horses and enjoy this one-of-a-kind property that is complete and ready to go.  Twenty five secluded acres nestled in the rolling Franklin County hills provide fantastic countryside views, fenced and cross fenced into four pastures with vinyl and smooth wire fencing.  A 36’ x 72’ Wick Equestrian barn has four 12’ x 12’ stalls with walkout Dutch doors to a covered 12’ x 72’ shelter area.  The barn features a heated tack room, wash rack and hay storage with water and electric available at each stall.  Other out-buildings include a 24’ x 24’ run-in shed with water and electric, and a 12’ by 48’ machine shed.  About half of the land is wooded with hiking/riding trails that wander past the two ponds and a wet weather creek that runs through the property. Once owned by a local conservation agent, the grounds have many unique trees and flowers that are beautiful all year around, but are especially spectacular in the Missouri spring and fall.  All drive ways and parking areas have been paved for convenience.
 
Two log homes; one from the 1950’s and one from the 1850’s have been completely renovated and joined together to create a unique ranch style home.  The 18’ x 21’ master suite has a sitting area with a Vermont Castings woodstove that walks out French doors to a private screened in porch.  The master bath that features a 72” x 41” porcelain Kohler tub, a 48” skylight and complete laundry facilities.  The kitchen / dining rooms have been completely updated with slate floors and countertops, custom cabinetry and modern appliances.  There is a stone fireplace with insert in the living room and the front of the house looks out floor to ceiling windows to an uncompromised view.  A breezeway connects the two living areas with floor to ceiling glass, slate floors and a magnificent white-tail deer antler chandelier.  French doors lead to the 20’ x 20’ cedar deck complete with hot tub.  The family room is the original 1850’s log home, and has been completely rebuilt.  Its original beamed ceiling contrasts with newly installed modern lighting fixtures to make this one of the most beautiful rooms in the house.  French doors lead to the deck, and a custom open staircase provides access to the 20’ x 18’ loft / bedroom with a knotty pine roof and xx foot window seat over looking the deck.  The third bedroom is off the family room with its own private bath that features a custom shower and a renovated antique claw-foot tub.  The home was restored with conservation in mind and features a cold roof on the main home, complimented by a ground source heat pump.  Electricity and plumbing were all redone, and the septic system is less than five years old.  There are hardwood floors throughout the home, and the original knotty pine ceilings and walls have been preserved to add interest in many of the rooms.
