About This Property

Hartman Farm & Homestead is a rare combination of historic character, modern updates, and beautiful Ozarks countryside, offering approximately 54 park-like acres just minutes from Washington, Missouri, and about an hour from St. Louis. Situated at the dead end of Twisted Cedar Drive, this private property provides a peaceful setting with a blend of mature timber, open fields, historic structures, and a beautifully updated home. The approximately 2,500-square-foot, four-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath home has been remodeled and upgraded to meet today's style and standards while thoughtfully retaining elements of the property's original character. The home features a fully updated, high-end kitchen, completely redone flooring, updated bathrooms, and original oak beams and logs incorporated into the structure, creating a distinctive blend of old and new. Spacious porch and deck areas provide excellent places to relax, entertain, and enjoy views of the surrounding landscape. Approximately 46 acres are wooded, providing excellent wildlife habitat and recreational opportunities, while the remaining 8 acres consist of park-like fields and food plot areas. Deer and turkey are abundant, with wildlife frequently visible from the home. Squirrels, rabbits, and other small game are also common throughout the property. The improvements continue with a massive 40' x 60' metal building featuring substantial metal beams, insulation, concrete floors, electricity, and wood-burning heat. A large loft provides additional storage, while an adjoining wood shed offers a convenient place to store and season firewood for the stove. A historic 40' x 60' hay barn adds tremendous character and utility, with plenty of room for hay, equipment, storage, or livestock. Another historic grain storage building is also located on the property and could continue serving as storage or be transformed into a workshop, hobby room, or additional usable space. The older oak beams and logs found throughout these structures showcase the agricultural heritage of the farm and contribute to the property's unique sense of place. A fire pit provides the perfect gathering spot for evenings outdoors, whether entertaining friends and family or simply enjoying the quiet surroundings. With a private setting, productive timber, open fields, abundant wildlife, multiple outbuildings, and a thoughtfully updated historic home, Hartman Farm & Homestead offers the opportunity to own a truly special piece of countryside close to modern conveniences. The property is serviced by a private well and septic system.

Rolling working farms and hardwood timber on the metro's rural edge.

Franklin County is where the eastern gateway becomes real country. Rolling countryside carries genuine working farms, pasture, and hay ground, threaded with hardwood timber along the ridges and creek bottoms. The Missouri River runs the county's northern edge, and the land south of it climbs into wooded hills that hold whitetail and turkey. This is prime territory for the buyer who wants a working or hobby farm, a cattle place, timber, or a recreational tract with room to breathe — all while staying within practical reach of the metro. The mix of productive ground, water, and cover gives Franklin an honest agricultural character that the counties closer to the city have largely traded away. It is countryside you can still farm and hunt.
