It’s rare to find this kind of privacy, space, and natural setting in West County—especially on nearly 4 acres in the Wildwood area.
Tucked into a peaceful, wooded landscape, this property offers a setting that feels like a retreat while still being close to everyday conveniences. From the moment you step inside, natural light fills the home through skylights and expansive windows, including a stunning picture window that frames the surrounding trees and brings the outdoors in.
The main living spaces are designed to feel open, bright, and connected to the landscape, creating a calm and inviting atmosphere throughout. The kitchen offers both functionality and flow for everyday living and entertaining, while the primary suite provides a spa-like escape with serene views and a sense of privacy that’s hard to find.
What truly sets this property apart is the land. Nearly four acres of wooded surroundings create space to relax, explore, and enjoy a level of privacy that’s increasingly difficult to find in this area. Whether you're looking for room to spread out, a peaceful environment, or a property with long-term potential, this setting delivers.
Recent price improvement presents an opportunity for buyers looking to secure a unique property in a highly sought-after location.
Ideal for buyers who value space, privacy, and a setting that feels removed—without sacrificing access to West County amenities.
Homes offering acreage, privacy, natural views, and a convenient Wildwood location rarely come available. This property delivers the perfect balance of peaceful living and accessibility.
