About This Property

Tucked away at the end of a quiet private road in Collins, Missouri, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home is the kind of place you can truly settle into. With 2,500 square feet of living space, it strikes a great balance between comfort and character--featuring hardwood floors, detailed crown molding, and just enough antique charm to make it feel warm and inviting without losing that polished look. The finished walkout basement adds even more room to spread out, with its own kitchen and bathroom providing ample entertainment space. Step outside and you'll find 81+\- acres that really speak for themselves It's mostly wooded, giving you that peaceful, tucked-away feel, but there's also a small pond and open, fenced areas ready for horses or livestock. If you enjoy gardening, you'll love the large fenced-in garden--complete with peach, pear, and pecan trees and grapes--and protected with a 9-foot deer fence so your hard work stays yours. The extras here really make the property stand out. There's a 30x40 shop with two heated rooms (and one cooled), perfect for projects, storage, or a workspace. A cozy little ''she shed'' with electricity gives you a quiet place to unwind or get creative, and there's even a well-kept storm shelter right in the yard. With plenty of deer and turkey around, it's a great spot for hunting--or just soaking in the kind of quiet, natural beauty that's getting harder to find.

Rugged cover and Truman Lake at the door.

St. Clair County is where West-Central farm country meets the wilder edge of the Ozark border, and Truman Lake reaches deep into its heart. For the land and recreational buyer, this is prime hunting and lake territory — more timber, more broken ground, and more cover than the open prairie counties to the west. Wooded ridges, brushy draws, and creek corridors carry excellent whitetail and turkey, while the reservoir's arms and coves bring crappie, bass, and waterfowl within reach. Pasture and hay ground still run through the uplands for those wanting cattle. St. Clair rewards the buyer chasing a genuine recreational tract — rugged, timbered hunting ground with big public water close at hand.
