With the right care and updates, it has the potential to become whatever you dream--a full-time residence, weekend getaway, hunting lodge, fix and flip or family compound. Features include a walkout basement, a back deck spanning the full width of the home, and an upstairs primary bedroom with its own large walkout deck, offering peaceful views of the surrounding land.Additional improvements include a 1,440 sq ft barn/shop, ideal for equipment, livestock needs, or a workshop, plus a smaller outbuilding that needs TLC but adds further potential. This property has a rich history, having changed ownership only twice, and remaining in the same family for multiple generations until 2015--a testament to its value and significance. Ava is under a 30-minute drive and offers essential amenities including Walmart, restaurants, schools, feed stores, hotels, and medical services, all while maintaining a strong small-town charm with a population of just 2,865. Springfield is approximately an hour and fifteen minutes away, Nixa and Ozark are about an hour and a half drive, Table Rock Lake is just under two hours away, and Bryant Creek State Park is less than 30 minutes from the property. Multiple creeks and rivers are located within a 20-mile radius, further enhancing the area's recreational appeal. Douglas County itself is steeped in history, once known as Militia Springs-served as a key Civil War encampment for Union troops and the Missouri State Militia. Your vision, your land, your future--right here.
