Escape to the heart of the Ozarks with this charming log cabin nestled on 22.31 wooded acres near Salem, Missouri. Offering 1,700 square feet, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath cabin features an open floor plan, spacious great room, and a full wood-burning fireplace built with beautiful stone sourced directly from the property. A chimney cap helps keep unwanted critters out while you enjoy the warmth and character of the fireplace. The cabin includes a loft and comfortably sleeps up to 8 guests with three queen beds and two twin beds, making it ideal as a private retreat, hunting cabin, family getaway, or vacation rental.

Conveniently located near Salem, Montauk State Park, and the renowned trout fishing waters of the Current River. Enjoy easy access to floating, fishing, hiking, and other Ozark outdoor adventures, all while being approximately 2.5 hours from St. Louis.

Cost of ownership

Taxes, dues & financing

Land is financed differently from a house: local ag banks, Farm Credit and USDA FSA lend on it, usually with more down and a shorter term.

Not nearby? We can show it to you on a live video call and let you see whatever you ask to.
