If you dream of homesteading, you can bypass extensive development work and start enjoying independent life right away with this established homestead set up for comfort and self-sufficiency in the Ozarks of S. MO. You can even work from home with installed fiber optic internet! The main home has an open-concept living area finished with beautiful woodwork for a warm, rustic feel. The primary bedroom is on the main floor, and the upstairs is a very large bedroom that could easily be made into two (the tiny home serves as the 3rd bedroom). A covered deck wraps the house and provides a lovely space to enjoy the gorgeous, long-range view. With independence in mind, the house is backed up with a wood cook & heat stove, propane heat, solar power, and a manual pump to the well. The tiny home provides additional living space perfect for a mother-in-law, teenager, or guest and is equipped with water catchment and a 550-gallon storage tank. In addition to independence, you will stay safe from stormy weather in the underground shelter located near both houses. Established food production includes a greenhouse, gardens, numerous fruit trees, a chicken pen and coop with an automated door, and small livestock pens with sheds. There are three fenced paddocks for large livestock, one with a pole barn for hay storage and shelter and another with a large, carport-style shelter. This property is located on a shared private drive approximately a half mile off paved DD Highway in one of the most scenic areas near Ava. It is unrestricted other than no additional residences can be added to the existing shared well. Access to Little Beaver Creek is only 5 minutes down the road. Approximate driving times to surrounding communities are 25 min. to Ava, 25 min. to Bradleyville, 50 min. to Ozark, 1 hr. to Branson, and 1 hr. 15 min. to Springfield.
