From the moment you arrive, this property invites you to slow down. A tranquil koi pond sets a peaceful tone in the front yard, while rock-lined trails wind through the wooded acreage, perfect for quiet morning walks. Out back, enjoy a peaceful sitting area, or take in the quiet from the screened-in porch or open deck, all framed by gardens of perennials and ornamental trees. A fenced yard keeps pets close, with the rest of the 5.2 wooded acres stretching on beyond it. Set between Springfield and Branson, with easy access to Nixa and Ozark, this custom-built home offers the rare combination of everyday comfort and true country escape.Step inside to a great room defined by cathedral ceilings and a warm brick fireplace, the kind of space that makes an immediate impression. The kitchen has been beautifully updated with new granite countertops and a fresh backsplash, carrying that same quality through to the primary suite's new counters as well- thoughtful touches paired with a layout that simply works. The main-floor master suite offers two separate closets for effortless organization, while the lower level opens up into a spacious storage room, tornado shelter, and the separate living quarters. The separate private drive leads to its own entry point with a small fenced-in area ideal for extended family, guests, or a mother-in-law setup, with the possibility for buyers with other ideas in mind (any short-term rental use should be verified with local zoning). With 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms total, there's space here for everyone.The location adds even more versatility, just two minutes from a popular wedding venue, ten minutes from Two Rivers Bike Park (a favorite for area cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts), and about thirty minutes from the nearest lake access for a day on the water.This is a home built for slowing down. Come see it for yourself!
