About This Property

PRICE REDUCTION ON THIS Ranch-style home on 48.70 acres just minutes from town! This 3-bedroom, 1-bath home features an open floor plan ideal for comfortable country living. The spacious living room includes a wood-burning fireplace and flows seamlessly into the kitchen and dining area. The kitchen offers a center island, ample cabinetry, and a window overlooking a scenic pond and wooded views. Three nicely sized bedrooms and a full bathroom are located on the south side of the home. On the north side, a laundry room leads to a versatile bonus room—ideal for an office, hobby space, or small workshop—with direct access to the oversized two-car attached garage. The 48.70-acre property provides excellent accessibility with county road frontage on two separate county roads, including approximately 984 yards on one road and 514 yards on the other. The acreage is perimeter-fenced with portions cross-fenced and is primarily wooded with a large section of open ground. A fenced area includes a small barn with access to a second pond. Additionally, a 30' x 40' building with a gravel floor and electricity offers great storage or workshop potential. Plenty of open ground surrounds the home, providing space for gardening, outdoor recreation, and entertaining—or simply relaxing and enjoying the park-like setting and pond. While the home is dated and could benefit from some updating, it offers a wonderful opportunity to experience peaceful country living with room to make it your own.

About Dent County

Missouri Ozarks (South-Central Highlands)
Land & Farm

Forest, cold springs, and the trout water of the upper Current

Dent County is deep Ozark timber country, where hardwood ridges and pine flats give way to the spring-fed headwaters of the Current River. Much of the county lies within or beside Mark Twain National Forest, making it a stronghold for buyers who want big timbered blocks, hard-hunted whitetail and turkey, and access to public ground. The thin, cherty soils favor pasture and hay in the valleys, with cattle the working use of choice. Cold springs feed blue-ribbon trout water and clear floating streams that draw recreational interest year-round. Anchored by Salem, the county is well suited to a hunting retreat, a cattle-and-timber place, or a recreational tract with cold water and heavy cover.
