This 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath, 3,696-square-foot home sits on 21.79± acres and features a redwood exterior, a newer roof and deck, and beautiful views overlooking a fully stocked private shared lake that is up to 15 feet deep. Setting more than 1,000 feet off the county road, this property offers outstanding seclusion and privacy while still being just 15 minutes from Springfield and close to everyday amenities. Inside, the updated kitchen offers granite countertops, quality finishes, exposed beams, and vaulted wood ceilings that give the home a warm lodge-style feel. Large windows throughout provide excellent natural light and stunning lake views, while Tigerwood hardwood floors and thoughtful updates add warmth, comfort, and style throughout the home. Pride of ownership is evident throughout this meticulously maintained property, which has been cared for by the same owner for the past 28 years. The living area features a gas fireplace for those cooler evenings, while the walk-out basement opens toward the lake and includes a bar and second fireplace, creating an exceptional space for entertaining or simply relaxing while enjoying peaceful lake views and beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Outdoor features include two gazebos, a detached 4-car garage, a private dock, and a 20x30 outbuilding for additional storage or workspace. The property also includes a 1,000-gallon propane tank and a whole-home Generac backup generator, providing comfort and peace of mind year-round. The well-maintained outdoor living areas, lake frontage, and peaceful setting make this property feel more like a private retreat than a typical country home.

Deer and waterfowl are frequently seen around the lake and timber, adding to the overall beauty and recreational appeal of the property.
