2801 County Road 6800 , West Plains, MO 65775(Howell County)

The main home is on 183 fenced acres, with123 acres of pasture and 60 acres of mature timber--red and white oak, cedar and walnut. There is lots of live water with creeks and 3 springs, one of which is the original water source from when the land was homesteaded. This one feeds into a goldfish pond, and, along with another spring in the pasture, is so cold that watercress grows wild. A third spring is in the pond below the house. There are also 9 ponds-- the biggest one stocked with catfish! This top-notch farm includes a 30X40 shop with a bath, water and concrete floors; a 40 x 50 barn with hayloft, office and horse stall; and an abundance of wildlife to enjoy.

The 4 bedroom, 2-1/2 bath home is spectacular with 22 ceilings, a great room with floor-to-ceiling wood-burning fireplace, and a wall of windows that offer wonderful views of the property all year round. The elegant kitchen includes storage galore, with a large pantry, island/bar, white-washed oak cabinets and ultra-modern stainless appliances including a 5-burner commercial-grade gas stove with large convection/conventional oven and smaller warming oven. A family room and dining area adjoin the kitchen and feature striking wood beams, oak columns defining the dining area, and a remote-controlled gas log fireplace. A bright and inviting sunroom is adjacent to the dining area, with a door from the dining area leading out to a delightful covered patio, wrought iron gazebo, gold fish pond and amazing landscaping. On the main floor, you will find a master suite and two additional bedrooms. The beautiful master suite offers gorgeous views from large casement windows, a spacious master bath with double vanity, separate tub and shower, and a pocket door to the walk-in closet. The 4th bedroom and a large sitting area are located in the loft. This custom home is filled with too many extras and details to mention! It is truly lovely inside and out. The second home, a charming, Native-Stone Ranch-Style house, provides additional space for the family, or would make a great rental. It comes with an additional 40 acres, a large metal outbuilding, and lots of mature trees.

This property is a great find in the Heart of the Ozarks! Its location puts you a very short distance from several well-known and popular recreational spotsas well as some hidden gems only known to the locals! Dont miss this opportunity to relocate your family to a quiet country farm where you can enjoy peaceful evenings in your own private oasis in rural Southern Missouri. Whether it is the calming sound of water flowing down the spring, the forest leaves rustling in the wind or perhaps raindrops on a roof, the sounds of nature can help relax your mind, body and soul.

Just feel the magic in the air and the power in the breeze, feel the energy of the plants, the bushes and trees, let yourself be surrounded by nature at its best, calm yourself, focus and let magic do the rest.
