This is a rare opportunity to own nearly 8 acres (7.9±) of scenic land overlooking the Big River. The property sits about one hour from St. Louis and offers complete privacy and quiet surroundings. From the top of the bluff, you can see for miles. Therefore, the property provides an ideal setting for those seeking tranquility, nature, and recreational freedom.
The existing home was built in 1985. It features 396 square feet on the main level and an additional 396-square-foot walk-out lower level, for a total of 792 square feet. The home includes one full bathroom, central heat and air, a fireplace, an open-frame porch, and a wood deck. Additionally, the property has electric service, a well, and septic. However, the home will require renovation and the deck will need to be replaced or removed. The property and home are being sold as-is. Buyers may renovate the house, use it as a weekend retreat, or remove it and build a new home.
The land is the true highlight of this property. Importantly, there is no HOA and no restrictions, which allows for rare flexibility in how the property can be used. There are two access points. One entrance leads to the home located on top of the bluff. A separate path provides access down to the Big River. Along the river, there is a sandbar perfect for fishing, kayaking, camping, hunting, or simply enjoying the outdoors.
Furthermore, the property includes a natural cave located to the right of the road leading to the river. The cave extends approximately 10 feet deep, adding unique character to the land. Buyers should verify the cave’s exact location with a survey. Multiple elevated areas above the river also provide potential build sites. These locations offer the opportunity to construct a home with stunning panoramic views of the river valley.
Properties that combine acreage, river access, elevated views, and privacy are increasingly rare in today’s market. For this reason, this property presents a unique opportunity for recreational use, a private retreat, or future development. 360° drone photos and video are available upon request.
