One of the Best Views in West County on Nearly 4 Private Acres! A rare opportunity to own nearly 4 private acres in the heart of highly desirable Wildwood—where skylit living spaces, wooded mountain views, and visits from deer create a peaceful retreat just minutes from shopping, dining, major highways, and St. Louis Lambert International Airport.
Welcome to 1553 Ridge Rd, a beautifully maintained home offering privacy, natural beauty, and thoughtful updates in one of West County’s most sought-after locations. From the moment you arrive, the surrounding wooded acreage creates a sense of space and tranquility that is increasingly difficult to find.
Inside, the home is filled with natural light and inviting spaces designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The living room features skylights that brighten the space throughout the day, while a gorgeous picture window showcases expansive views of the surrounding wooded landscape, bringing the beauty of nature directly into the home.
The luxury kitchen offers a stylish and functional space for cooking, gathering, and hosting family and friends. The home’s layout flows comfortably, creating warm living areas that feel both open and welcoming.
One of the most unique and valuable features of this home is the detailed 3-inch ring binder that will stay with the property, carefully organized with documentation of updates, improvements, warranties, manuals, and service records.
