MOTIVATED SELLER! Over 7 acres of privacy, nearly 2,150 sq ft of living space and room to finally spread out, inside AND out! Tucked into a beautiful wooded setting in Festus, this 3-bedroom, 3-full-bath home gives you that peaceful country feeling while keeping you conveniently close to everything you need. From the moment you pull in, you can feel the difference! More space, more privacy and a little more freedom to live the way you want. Inside, a spacious vaulted great room welcomes you with beautiful hardwood floors, abundant natural light and plenty of room to gather. The kitchen is made for real life, with generous cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a large breakfast bar and an oversized dining area where there’s room for everyone to pull up a chair. The primary suite offers a spacious retreat, while two additional bedrooms, another full bath and convenient main-floor laundry complete the main level. And then there’s downstairs! The partially finished walkout lower level adds even more room to live, play and entertain with a large recreation area, third full bath, plenty of storage and a water softener already in place. The former lower-level garage has been transformed into a fun man cave or party zone. Open the garage door, let the outdoors in and you’ve got a whole new way to entertain! Outside, more than 7 acres are yours to enjoy. Sip your morning coffee on the covered deck surrounded by trees, spend evenings around the firepit, explore the property, make room for the RV, or simply enjoy having enough land that your neighbors don’t feel quite so…neighborly. A fenced area gives your two- or four-legged family members room to play, while the wooded surroundings create the privacy and country atmosphere that are getting harder and harder to find. This isn’t just more square footage or more acreage, it’s more room for the life you’ve been dreaming of. Country feel, city-close convenience and over 7 acres to call your own. Come see what it feels like to have a little more room to breathe!

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.
