Recreational Land with Home for Sale in De Soto, Missouri

Rare opportunity just south of the Gateway City and on the doorstep of the Ozarks — the “house with the lake” on Highway 110 can now be yours. Set on more than 25 private acres, this remarkable property with fenced and gated entrance offers the kind of setting that rarely becomes available: peaceful countryside, a stunning private lake, and a beautifully designed home built to take full advantage of the surroundings.

Inside, the home features an open floor plan with a spacious living room highlighted by gleaming wood floors and a gas fireplace. The kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, with granite countertops, a center island, and tasteful backsplash, all flowing naturally into the breakfast area where a double-sided wood-burning fireplace adds warmth and character. A separate dining room provides additional space for gatherings.

The primary suite offers a relaxing retreat with a walk-in closet and spa-like bath featuring a clawfoot tub, walk-in shower, and double-sink vanity. An additional bedroom with private bath is located on the main level, while two more bedrooms are found in the walk-out lower level.

Downstairs, the finished lower level expands the living space with a large family room with gas fireplace, media area with wood burning fireplace, dining space, full bath, and even a second kitchen—ideal for entertaining, guests, or multi-generational living. A bar area with granite counters and space for a pool table creates the perfect setting for hosting.

Step outside and the true magic of the property unfolds. The spring- and creek-fed 4-acre private lake, recognized by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources as a designated “master angler” lake, offers incredible fishing, hunting, and year-round recreation. Enjoy kayaking, paddle boarding, or relaxing by the water from one of the three private docks, while trails around the lake create the perfect setting for peaceful walks, picnics, and evenings around the fire pit.

Outdoor living is equally impressive with multiple maintenance-free decks, a screened-in sunroom, an outdoor BBQ area, and an 8x16 swim spa for year-round relaxation and exercise. A detached garage provides additional parking and storage, and the home also features geothermal heating and cooling for energy efficiency along with a brand-new roof installed in 2025.

Whether you're fishing at sunrise, enjoying a quiet walk along the lake, or hosting family and friends for a weekend retreat, this property offers a lifestyle that feels like a private resort—yet remains just a short drive from St. Louis and nearby amenities.
