Set on 8.6 fully fenced and gated acres, this custom-built home was designed to take full advantage of the landscape. Expansive windows frame more than 180 degrees of countryside views that change with the seasons. Whether watching deer cross the hillside, storms roll across the horizon, or the sunrise, the connection to nature is ever-present. Inside, soaring 10-foot ceilings, abundant natural light, and an open-concept design create a home that feels both refined and welcoming. The great room is anchored by a sleek linear fireplace, thoughtfully positioned to soften the afternoon sun while preserving the spectacular views. A wet bar with a double-drawer refrigerator and hidden bonus storage adds convenience and character. The chef's kitchen features extensive custom cabinetry, quartz surfaces, a large island, a microwave drawer, instant hot and cold water, and more than 16 feet of windows overlooking the property. Beyond it, the scullery pantry offers a second sink, prep space, open shelving, and exceptional storage. The primary suite includes a spa-inspired bath with heated towel bars, a stunning custom closet, and direct access to the laundry room. Most of the acreage is open, fenced, and highly usable, offering opportunities for horses, goats, chickens, gardening, recreation, or simply room to breathe. Towering oaks and sycamores line a seasonal creek, creating a private natural setting rich with wildlife and Ozark character. The 2,400-square-foot climate-controlled shop includes a full bath, laundry, office space, workshop area, and extensive electrical service. Ideal for a business, hobbies, guest quarters, multigenerational living, or future income potential. Just four minutes from amenities and approximately 25 minutes from Springfield, this is more than a home. It's a lifestyle!
