There is certainly an appeal to living close to the land, and the home at 946 Highway 51 in Bollinger County is a perfect place to reconnect with Mother Earth. With 40 acres of wooded land that borders Missouri Conservation Land, a two-acre stocked lake with its own dock, and a variety of fruit trees and grapes, this vinyl-sided ranch-style home is a great place to not just "get away from it all," but to "stay away from it all."...

There is certainly an appeal to living close to the land, and the home at 946 Highway 51 in Bollinger County is a perfect place to reconnect with Mother Earth.

With 40 acres of wooded land that borders Missouri Conservation Land, a two-acre stocked lake with its own dock, and a variety of fruit trees and grapes, this vinyl-sided ranch-style home is a great place to not just "get away from it all," but to "stay away from it all."

An etched and beveled oval glass design gives the entry door a touch of charm. The living room stretches ahead with plush beige carpeting and white walls that make it seem more spacious.

A main-level bathroom is at the center of the house, convenient to every major living area. Another nearby bedroom is currently being re-finished with carpet and plenty of windows. A third bedroom creates enough bedroom space for most families.

The kitchen includes a large pantry. It has stone-look vinyl flooring and warm, oak cabinetry. The open design of the kitchen creates abundant counter space with lots of room for meal preparation.

A large, white double-sink vanity with a gooseneck faucet, modern range/stove, and side-by-side refrigerator with in-door drink and ice dispenser create modern convenience. Sliding French doors lead to a small outside deck.

This property also enjoys a separate vinyl-sided sewing or hobby room, equipped with electricity and air conditioning. A barn and workshop area offer spaces for everyone in the family to pursue their own interests.

In addition, a three-bedroom, two-bath 1978 model mobile home is on the property, providing a living space for additional family members, or as a potential rental income space.

With winding grape vines and peach, pear, apple, apricot, plum and cherry trees, fresh fruit is a handy seasonal treat. Deer and turkey roam the property, also, making it an outdoorsman's paradise.
