Imagine owning 20.1 easy-to-maintain wooded acres where the home rests on a secluded hilltop, surrounded by mature trees, birdsong, and the beauty of every seasonwith no neighboring houses visible in any direction. Tucked along a private street shared with only four other homes, the property offers remarkable peace before you reach the entrance. A personal, gated quarter-mile drive provides another layer of separation from passing traffic and unplanned visitors. The setting feels like a personal nature reserve, yet is less than two miles beyond the Wildwood and St. Louis County line. Properties combining this much acreage, modern construction, and convenient access to West County are increasingly rare and highly sought after. Your first impression begins at the new solar-powered entrance gate, where the recently paved asphalt driveway winds uphill beneath a canopy of trees before opening at the summit to reveal a timeless white custom modern farmhouse. Large cedar porch columns, classic architectural lines, and a distinctive metal-roof accent give the exterior warmth, character, and lasting curb appeal. A spacious parking area complements the attached two-car garage. Built in 2017, this exceptionally clean, move-in-ready custom home offers 2,908 square feet of finished living space, up to five bedrooms, and two-and-a-half bathrooms. Step beneath the covered front porch into a bright, open interior filled with natural light from abundant energy-efficient windows. A flexible second living area and nearby half bath sit just off the foyer, while the living room, kitchen, and dining room connect in an open, welcoming layout. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the living area, with custom window boxes, detailed trim, and master millwork throughout. The kitchen features handcrafted cabinetry, concrete countertops, a Kohler farmhouse sink, induction cooktop, generous work surfaces, and abundant storage. A spacious mudroom connects the dining room to the attached garage. Upstairs, the expansive primary bedroom offers high ceilings, automatic window coverings, and a charming nook. The primary bath includes custom shower and floor tile, warm wood vanities, a private toilet room, freestanding soaking tub with Kohler faucet, and a picturesque window overlooking the surrounding landscape. A large walk-in closet completes the suite. Three additional bedrooms include a large room divided to function as two spacious rooms, allowing the home to function as a five-bedroom property. A full bath with cast-iron tub, large laundry room, and hall linen closet complete the level. The 1,342-square-foot unfinished basement has 9.5' ceilings, roughed-in plumbing, and egress windows, with planned space for two bedrooms, a full bath, living room, and multiple storage areas. Solid white oak hardwood flooring extends throughout the home except the bathrooms, finished with a non-toxic, no-VOC oil that preserves its natural beauty and supports easy maintenance. Fresh Sherwin-Williams Alabaster paint creates a soft, bright, cohesive interior. Approximately ½ acre is cleared around the home while the balance of the 20.1 acres remains primarily wooded, offering exceptional privacy, active game trails, recreation, and wildlife watching. Enjoy gardening and homesteading with a custom chicken coop and enclosed run, raised beds, handcrafted gates, established fruit trees, and berry plantings. Covered outdoor living areas provide inviting places to enjoy the quiet hilltop setting. Additional features include a private well, oversized septic system, generous hilltop parking, and no HOA. A new roof and professionally paved drive were completed in 2025; fresh paint and fourth/fifth bedroom spaces were completed in 2026.
FANTASTIC PRICE FOR A FANTASTIC PIECE OF PROPERTY!! Last lot remaining in the subdivision. Lot is private and wooded and located just miles outside of the conveniences of St. Louis County. Lots of mature trees and a wet weather creek. Come enjoy the beauty of nature...deer, fox, trees. Great building site at the end of a well designed drive.
