For sale is 37 Beautiful Acres in the heart of the Ozarks surrounded on 3 sides by Forest Service Property–just minutes from the beautiful Spring-fed Current, Jacks Fork, and Eleven Point Rivers. We are in a private setting on an exceptional piece of property. We have a fine balance of mature timber and pasture. The property flat to rolling. This is Paradise!

The house sits on 32 Acres, which is fenced, plus there is 5 acres across the country road which is not fenced. On the 32 Acres is a barn, springfed pond, new 1000 sq foot Earth Berm House. The house is planned by the old Mother Earth News plans–passive solar–sun driven, with an overhang that shades the interior from the summer sun & in the winter allows the sun to go to the back wall. Most of the south side is glass. The house is 1000 sq feet. There are no supporting interior walls so it would be easy to change the floor plan around if desired.

There are 3 bedrooms and a huge utility room along the back of the house. The bath room has an antique clawfoot tub, that I was in the process of refinishing, and a 4′ X 5′ tiled double headed walk in shower.

The front of the house is all an open kitchen, dining, & living room. There is a separate bathing area in the West end. Out the french doors of the bathing room is a cozy flower garden…in the garden is an private outdoor shower with hot & cold water.

There is a 20′ X 20′ concrete pad that is currently the basketball court. It could be used as a foundation for a big shop building, another dwelling, or whatever you dream up.

There are 2 large organic gardens with strawberry & asparagus beds, 3 blueberry bushes, 3 small peach trees, and 3 small pecan trees. There are tons of blackberry bushes and elderberries. There is a kitchen garden with various culinary herbs, tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, spinach, and tons of flowers. It is the garden you see in the picture.

Between the big garden and the barn is a spring-fed pond.

The barn is approximately 12′ X 32′. It has water and electricity. One end of the barn houses chickens. There are 2 free range chicken pens, an outside butchering area, and everything you need to raise pastured poultry for profit. One end of the barn is set up for goats and there is plenty of pasture for cattle & horses. There is a deep freeze in the barn that could stay. This is also a great set up for cleaning & butchering chicken, deer, turkey, fish, or whatever. There is plenty of storage here too.

The well is 430′ deep & is cased to 160′. There is always plenty of clear cold water.

There is underground electric.

There is both central heat & air plus a wood stove. It costs about $300 a year to heat with the woodstove because the house is passive solar.

The septic is lagoon.

The bus comes to the gate. We are between Winona, MO, & Van Buren, MO. Children here can attend either school. The bus transports children to Van Buren. Winona does not send a bus.

We have DSL!

There are *no building restrictions* on the property.

Annual Property Taxes are $317.

Annual home insurance is $500.

Average Utility Bill is $100/mo.

We are in Carter County near the county seat town of Van Buren, MO. Van Buren is only 10 miles from Fremont & has all the amenities such as grocery stores, doctor, dentist, library, the courthouse, restaurants, etc. We are in "Hay Holler" nestled below Green Mountain–where the old Green Mountain Schoolhouse used to be. We are close to Big Springs Park.

We are 2 hours East of Springfield, MO. We are 50 miles West of Poplar Bluff, MO. We are 3 hours from St. Louis.

The first picture is entering the gate & looking down the valley, across the property, to the North. The 2nd is the dwelling. More pictures can be emailed upon request.

This is an amazing piece of property….I looked for a place like this for over 7 years–with the big trees, pasture, loads of wildlife, rivers close by, forest service for a neighbor, privacy, peace & quiet…but, the kids are ready to move to town, so, …I’m packing.

All business will be done in person to avoid the scamming business per CL suggestions.

The yahoo map shows that we are in Nebraska…they have been notified but don’t know if this problem is fixed or not. We are in Fremont, MO.
