Welcome to the Scott Country Estate - A Timeless Ozark Retreat with Storybook Charm.
Nestled among graceful trees and rolling pastures, this captivating 5-bedroom, 3-bath ranch-style stucco home (built in 1971) embodies the warmth of country living and the elegance of a bygone era. Step through the arched Loggia--a screened-in porch perfectly positioned to capture cool Ozark breezes--and discover a property brimming with beauty, history, and possibility.
The estate offers two distinct entrances: a gated private drive off Barbs Lane and an enchanting, tree-canopied lane off US Hwy 160, creating a picture-perfect arrival worthy of a country estate. Beyond the gates, the property unfolds like a hidden sanctuary--featuring a sparkling 11-foot-deep concrete pool (64'x34') with expansive deck, the inviting ''Captain's Quarters'' Cabana (22'x30') complete with full bath, kitchen area, and vintage details, and a tennis and basketball court awaiting revival or reimagination.
The red wooden barn (42'x42') with tack and feed rooms is ideal for horses or hobbies, complemented by a metal hay barn (24'x28') and a flourishing garden (112'x46') with a charming wood shed for tools and storage.
Inside, the tri-level layout flows gracefully with generous living spaces, a cozy den with porcelain wood stove, and two master suites--one a private retreat with parlor, sunken tub, and bidet; the other overlooking the pool and fields. The spacious kitchen with dual sinks and adjacent dining areas welcomes family gatherings and holiday feasts.
Each structure--from home to barn to well house--is crowned with red metal roofing, unified by brick and stone walkways that wind through shaded gardens and open spaces perfect for entertaining.
Steeped in Civil War-era history and natural beauty, Scott's Family Estate stands as a place of legacy and life--a true Ozark treasure where family roots deepen and dreams take shape.
