Excellent upgrades -- these are very strong buyer-psychology improvements. Mentioning location anchors value, and moving the vault earlier increases perceived uniqueness (which is critical for higher-end rural properties). Here is the refined luxury version with: Vault moved forward (high-impact feature) Dedicated home office added (huge modern trigger) Location positioning added naturally (not salesy) Tone kept high-end and confident Set across 36 secluded acres with a spring-fed creek and established private trails, this extraordinary property offers a rare blend of refined living and immersive natural surroundings. The setting delivers a remarkable sense of privacy and scale while remaining conveniently located just minutes from Mercy and Freeman Hospitals in Joplin, as well as Neosho and I-49, providing both seclusion and accessibility. The custom-built residence was designed to make a striking first impression, featuring dramatic 18-foot ceilings and expansive custom windows that flood the home with natural light. Every space reflects intentional design and generous proportions, with all rooms offering an expansive feel that enhances both comfort and livability. One of the property's most compelling features is the reinforced concrete vault / safe room, constructed with 8-inch thick concrete walls and ceiling and a 24-inch concrete floor -- a rare structural enhancement providing exceptional security, resilience, and peace of mind. Finishes throughout the home were selected with both quality and timeless appeal in mind -- acacia wood hardwood flooring, cement grey matte porcelain tile, solid wood interior doors, Early American stained trim, oil-rubbed bronze hardware, and a sophisticated Dorian Grey palette create a cohesive and inviting aesthetic. Quartz surfaces extend beyond countertops to include matching quartz window sills, reinforcing the home's consistent attention to detail. The kitchen serves as a true centerpiece, showcasing custom knotty alder cabinetry paired with White Arabesque quartz countertops and a full suite of black stainless Frigidaire appliances. An induction cooktop, built-in wall oven, and convection microwave deliver modern performance, while specialized storage features -- including utensil pull-outs, spice storage, pots-and-pans drawers, and a concealed dual-can trash system -- elevate everyday functionality. A workstation apron-front sink further highlights the kitchen's thoughtful blend of design and practicality. The oversized kitchen and dining areas offer exceptional scale for entertaining. Designed for modern living, the home includes a dedicated home office, providing a quiet and functional workspace without sacrificing comfort or aesthetics. Smart-home integration further enhances convenience, with Wi-Fi enabled thermostats, water heater, and garage door opener allowing for remote access and control. Separate climate zones for upstairs, downstairs, and the expansive game room ensure tailored comfort throughout. Starlink internet infrastructure is fully installed, supporting reliable high-speed connectivity within this private setting. A substantial 1,200 square foot game room offers exceptional flexibility for recreation, gathering, or media space, complemented by an oversized two-car garage with extended depth for storage and workspace. True to the home's design, these areas maintain the same expansive character found throughout the residence. Beyond the residence, the acreage itself becomes a defining amenity. Winding trails, mature landscape, and the spring-fed creek create a remarkable outdoor environment suited for recreation, hunting, and exploration. Rural water and electric access on three sides provides outstanding flexibility for future expansion, additional structures, or development opportunities -- an increasingly valuable attribute for long-term versatility.
