About This Property

Room to Gather. Space to Grow. Craftsmanship to Treasure. An exceptional setting for multigenerational living, this remarkable property offers two distinctive buildings, beautiful surroundings, and outstanding craftsmanship. Enjoy the opportunity to keep loved ones close while maintaining the privacy and independence of separate living spaces—all in a fantastic location. Designed and built by a master carpenter, the approximately 5,000-square-foot primary residence reflects exceptional attention to detail, quality materials, and beautifully finished natural woodwork. Cedar siding and an inviting wraparound porch introduce its rustic charm, while expansive windows bring in abundant daylight and frame the surrounding scenery. Vaulted pine ceilings, substantial wood beams, and a striking stone wood-burning fireplace give the open living space warmth and character, creating a connection to the outdoors. The kitchen, dining, and living areas flow together comfortably, offering space for everyday living and memorable gatherings. The main-level primary bedroom features a spacious tiled shower, with main-level laundry adding convenience. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom. The finished walkout lower level provides a generous family room, fourth bedroom, two bonus rooms, and another full bathroom—plenty of flexibility for guests, hobbies, or extended family. Thoughtful maintenance includes a new roof and exterior cedar freshly stained in 2025. A 32-by-30-foot garage beside the home provides generous parking and storage, while a supplemental wood-burning heating system adds comfort during colder months. The second building, formerly known as the Treetop, is a truly unique and remarkable addition. Designed and built with the same dedication to craftsmanship, this 2,500-plus-square-foot building has previously served as a residence and later as a public restaurant, bar, and gathering venue. With a few modifications, it could become an ideal second residence for another family, a college student seeking privacy, or aging loved ones who would appreciate their own space with family nearby for companionship and additional help. Natural wood ceilings, barnwood accents, and large windows create an inviting atmosphere, while a private 30-by-40-foot wood deck surrounded by trees extends the gathering space outdoors. Although the former commercial kitchen and dish room have been removed, infrastructure remains to support a future kitchen installation. The flexible layout also offers possibilities for a small venue hosting wedding showers, intimate weddings, church services, celebrations, and other gatherings, subject to applicable requirements. Few properties offer this much flexibility for bringing generations together while giving everyone room to feel at home. The property’s versatility continues with a 25-by-65-foot long shop and a 32-by-26-foot open shop, providing abundant space for projects, equipment, and storage. Footings are already installed near the main road for a future 40-by-50-foot structure, offering even more room to expand. From the handcrafted finishes to the possibilities for multigenerational living, this extraordinary property offers space to build a life, bring loved ones closer, and create something special for generations to come.

Where the Bootheel meets the hills — cropland and deer woods.

Cape Girardeau County marks the northern gateway to the Bootheel, where the flat lowlands meet the rising Ozark escarpment along the Mississippi River. This is the region's most varied ground: fertile bottomland along the river and the Whitewater and Castor drainages gives way to rolling, timbered hills to the west. That mix suits buyers who want both worlds — productive cropland of soybeans, corn, and wheat in the bottoms, and wooded uplands that hold whitetail and turkey. Rivers and creeks thread the county, adding waterfowl to the flooded lowlands and fishing to the mix. For a land buyer seeking farm income and genuine hill-country hunting within reach of the delta, Cape Girardeau offers the fullest blend in southeast Missouri.
