A rare opportunity to acquire nearly 56 private acres just minutes from Springfield, where multiple spring-fed ponds, mature timber, open pasture, restored trails, and established equestrian facilities surround a remarkable 7,637-square-foot custom residence. Held by the same family for 35 years, this is the kind of setting that cannot simply be recreated by purchasing acreage and building new. Despite its extraordinary privacy, the estate is remarkably accessible--situated on a state-maintained highway near Republic High School https://www.republicschools.org/o/rhs and just over a mile from the 2,400-acre Wilson's Creek National Battlefield https://www.nps.gov/wicr/index.htm A pine tree-lined blacktop drive leads through the property to the secluded residence, horse barn, and additional outbuilding. Recent extensive grounds work has restored trails throughout the property and into the rear acreage, opened views and access to the spring-fed ponds, cleared pasture, and revealed the remarkable scale and versatility of the land. And there are no covenants or restrictions (other than county and municipal codes and zoning laws) to restrict what you see fit to do with this property, which gives the next homeowner unprecedented freedom and flexibility in its use. The substantial contemporary-inspired residence offers exceptional scale, natural light, and architectural character, while giving the next owner an opportunity to modernize and personalize the home to their own vision. Significant investment has recently been made to the fundamental infrastructure and mechanical systems of the home. A new roof was installed approximately 4 years ago, and you'll find numerous skylights positioned throughout the roof system allow for an abundant amount of natural light to pour into the home. In 2022, a brand new septic tank was installed at the property. There has also been recent service work to the wastewater pipes to ensure they are free and clear of any issues (more follows)
