PRIVATE, COUNTRY, yet CONVENIENT and ROOMY. This 5-BR / 3-bath house on 8-1/2 acres gives you room to spread out both inside and out! This rare combination of both cleared land around the house and woods behind is hard to find, and combined with almost 3900 finished square feet with fresh paint and flooring, a 1yo roof, and new HVAC to be installed, this property is a unicorn for this area. Yet still only 10 mins to Branson West, 30 mins to Branson, 45 mins to Springfield - and 15 mins to Cape Fair Marina and all your lake fun!With two living areas (the one in the basement is wired for surround sound), formal dining AND a breakfast nook, mudroom/laundry off the garage, two large storage areas (one of which is framed for a 6th bedroom but could also easily become a John Deere room if you install a roll-up door to the outside), 5 CONFORMING bedrooms, PLUS a man cave (or office) with abundant outlets and 220 service - not to mention other flexible areas for hobbies or fitness equipment or whatever else you need -- this place has it all. Enjoy your COMPLETELY PRIVATE outdoor oasis on the huge back deck. You can also bring your animals, get ready to garden, and/or play pickup football with the plentiful cleared space!The wood stove w/ blower fan is piped into the HVAC vents and can be used to heat the entire house, or as a supplement, as desired. There are plenty of trees in the back acreage to cut your own fuel! The gas fireplace with flip switch on the main level easily takes the chill off in the morning. LVP flooring on the main level installed July 2025. Roof with class 4 hail-resistant shingles installed June 2025. New HVAC scheduled early June 2026. Matching kitchen appliances all replaced within last 2-5 years. Bracket and gas line for a tankless water heater are already in place, but a water softener would need to be added to make that work well. Ham radio antenna and tower will be removed before closing. Furnishings are negotiable. Owner/agent.
