If a home on small acreage is what you are after, this is the one! Located in Lafayette County, Missouri, just outside the historic town of Lexington, Missouri, this earth contact home has the views and feels of country living.
Once you turn off Marshall School Road and into the driveway, the first thing you encounter on the property is the 30'x50' livestock barn that includes multiple stalls to separate your animal and even a tack/feed room. This barn is on its own electric meter, allowing to separate home and farm expenses. Continuing down the driveway towards the home, you will notice a 3 bay shed on the west side, allowing shelter for equipment or vehicles. Next you arrive at the centerpiece of the property, the 3 bed, 2.5 bath home.
The earth-contact, east-facing home offers some incredible views from the eat-in kitchen and its big windows that overlook the deck and two ponds that sit below the home. The kitchen also includes a nicely finished peninsula countertop providing ample eating or gathering space. A double oven, large refrigerator, and even a pantry to go along with the great natural lighting and views that the 4 large windows provide. The family room is where most of the time is spent in the home, and this one is sure to please. The room features a stone wall that includes a wood-burning fireplace, vaulted ceiling throughout, a wet bar and storage area, and a loft area with windows allowing for more natural lighting. The master includes a bathroom and a large walk-in closet. The upstairs of the home has a nice office space, a couple of bedrooms, a half bath, and a large room that could be used for multiple things. The storage area above the garage could be finished to allow another room or just continue for storage area.
The 8+ acres consists of pasture, ponds, and a yard. The current owners have horses on the property, taking advantage of the ample space this property provides. The ponds lay next to each other just before the wooded area that provides this property with the privacy many are after from the neighbors. This truly is a property that has to be seen to appreciate all that it provides.
