About This Property

Custom Lake Home on 11.36 Acres Private lakefront living just outside of town. This custom-built 2-story home sits on 11.36 acres with over 1,400 feet of frontage on Bray Lake, a 103-acre private lake 1 minute from all amenities! The home offers 2,707 finished square feet with 5 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. Nine-foot ceilings run through all levels including the walkout basement. The kitchen was built around a black walnut island, with oak flooring throughout, an oak stairwell, and a wood-burning stove anchoring the living space. Multiple 8ft French doors open the main level to a lovely deck and covered porch overlooking the water. Built to last: Hardie fiber cement siding, custom exterior paint, Pella aluminum-clad windows, individually zoned heat pump systems, and a hybrid heat pump water heater to keep operating costs low. The full walk-out lower level adds 1,384 square feet already drywalled with plumbing and electrical rough-ins — finish it for a second living area that easily expands the house to over 4,000 sqft. Outside, the land is classic Ozark terrain — a mix of woods and cleared ground on an incredible lake point, a private dock, and a gravel beach. Deeded access off Highway 63 means you are minutes from Rolla, Missouri University of Science and Technology, and Interstate 44, yet completely tucked away. Room to build, room to roam, and water at your back door.

Spring-fed float streams and grazing ridges near the Meramec headwaters

Phelps County lies on the northern edge of the Ozark Plateau, where clear headwater streams like the Little Piney and the upper Meramec cut through wooded hills and gravel-bottom valleys. The land is classic Ozark country: oak-hickory timber and shortleaf pine over thin, rocky soils that favor pasture, hay, and cattle over intensive farming. Recreational buyers are drawn to the cold, spring-fed float water and the deer and turkey that thrive in the ridge-and-hollow terrain. With Mark Twain National Forest nearby and the university town of Rolla as a regional hub, tracts here balance working ground with strong recreational appeal. It is solid country for a cattle operation, a timbered hunting parcel, or a stream-side retreat.
