About this property

Escape to Your Own Private Retreat!!! Tucked away from the road in the countryside of Maries County, this exceptional 86.38+- acre private estate offers a rare combination of luxury, recreation, privacy, and breathtaking natural beauty. At the heart of the property is a stunning custom-built 3+ bedroom, 3 1/2 bath home, beautifully positioned to overlook an impressive 10+- acre private lake.

Inside, quality craftsmanship is evident throughout. The home features custom cabinetry, crown molding, numerous built-ins, and a private primary suite, creating a warm yet refined atmosphere. The partially finished walkout lower level provides additional living and entertaining space and opens directly to a patio overlooking the lake. Outdoor living is equally impressive. A covered composite deck provides the perfect setting for morning coffee, family gatherings, entertaining guests, or simply unwinding while watching wildlife and taking in the spectacular sunsets over the water. Beautiful landscaping and a fenced garden area further enhance the grounds. The private lake becomes a destination of its own, complete with a small dock and nearby pavilion—ideal for fishing, relaxing by the water, entertaining, or enjoying peaceful afternoons surrounded by nature. The property also features two substantial outbuildings measuring approximately 30’ x 50’ and 30’ x 48’, providing exceptional space for equipment, recreational vehicles, workshop needs, hunting gear, and storage. One building includes separate 2-bedroom, 1-bath living quarters, making it an outstanding addition for guests, extended family, a hunting retreat, or caretaker accommodations.
