Description

Why travel when you can live in the beauty and serenity of your own private retreat only 10 minutes from Ava, Missouri in the heart of the Ozarks? Live water, abundant deer, forest with groomed trails, complimented by a home finished out in knotty pine and a nice wood stove on a beautiful hearth giving it a lodge-like feel. You'll be able to watch deer regularly from the dining table or from the large, covered deck that overlooks the seasonal creek and pond. Your guests can have their own private accommodations in a nicely finished cabin with electricity, heat, and AC or bring their RV and plug in near the cabin site. There's lots of space for large or small gatherings in the large front yard with a firepit and the open camp/gathering area with a firepit near the cabin and RV outlet. You'll have plenty of storage for tools and equipment in the 10'x16' finished storage shed with double doors and electricity. If homesteading is your interest, you'll love the matching chicken coop and rabbit hutch, two complete beehives, tapping black walnut trees and a sap distiller, and plenty of open space for gardening. You can relax in the event of a power outage with the security of water from a year-round spring and wood heat. This property is perfect for homesteading, hosting gatherings, and outdoor recreation. Enjoy this scenic, peaceful setting for yourself, or share its beauty with guests, campers, or Airbnbers. There is so much potential in this amazing property located only 7.5 miles from town! Seller is offering a $5K allowance for the flooring in the bedrooms that has not yet been updated.
