About This Property

Discover the perfect combination of luxury, privacy, and recreational opportunity on this remarkable 183 +/- acre estate in Maries County. Conveniently located just off Highway 63, north of Rolla and within the Rolla School District, the property features an impressive blend of gently rolling hills, productive open fields, mature hardwood timber, and two year-round spring-fed creeks that create a truly picturesque setting. At the heart of the property is a beautifully maintained Cape Cod-style brick home with brick construction on all four sides and attractive rock accents framing the front and side entrances. The spacious residence offers five bedrooms and four bathrooms, with a formal dining room and private study that each include closets, allowing them to easily function as additional bedrooms if desired. The home features 3,620 square feet of finished living space plus an additional 2,020 square feet of unfinished space, providing approximately 5,640 square feet under roof. The finished lower level includes a large great room/game room, workshop with three heavy-duty 8-foot workbenches, cellar, and generous storage areas complete with heavy-duty shelving. Upstairs, walk-in attic access on both ends of the home provides exceptional storage and future expansion potential. A standout feature of the property is the 60' x 30' insulated all-metal shop. Heated by three ceiling-mounted propane heaters, the building includes concrete floors, an air compressor with nine conveniently located outlets, built-in fold-up heavy-duty shelving, and abundant electrical outlets, making it ideal for equipment storage, woodworking, automotive projects, or virtually any hobby. Additional improvements include a charming rock wellhouse that houses a second well equipped with a fully functional hand pump capable of operating without electricity, offering both practicality and peace of mind. In December 2024, both the home and wellhouse received new Owens Corning Duration roofing. Outdoor amenities are equally impressive, featuring multiple gathering and picnic areas, a 44' x 30' concrete basketball court that could also serve as a pickleball court or future building site, and a professionally designed 150-yard shooting range with an earthen berm and marked distances at 40, 50, 100, and 150 yards. Whether you're searching for a private family estate, a recreational getaway, or a versatile country property with exceptional improvements, this one-of-a-kind Maries County offering delivers the space, comfort, and natural beauty to fit nearly any lifestyle.

Quiet Gasconade hill country of pasture, timber, and creek bottoms

Maries County is a quiet stretch of the northern Ozarks where the Gasconade and Maries rivers wind through wooded hills and narrow bottoms. This is unhurried cattle and hay country, with rolling pasture on the ridgetops, oak-hickory timber down the slopes, and fertile bottomland along the water. Thin, rocky soils keep the working use in grazing and forage rather than row crop, while the timbered draws and river corridors hold steady numbers of whitetail and turkey. Clear, gravel-bottom streams add floating and fishing value to riverfront tracts. For buyers seeking a working cattle farm, a recreational hunting parcel, or simply seclusion within reach of the interstate, Maries offers honest, affordable Ozark ground.
