Listing description
A PRIVATE MOUNTAINTOP RETREAT WITH BREATHTAKING OZARK VIEWS!A gently meandering asphalt drive winds its way to the top of your very own private Ozark mountaintop, where peaceful surroundings, spectacular views, and the beauty of nature welcome you home. Perched high above the road, this secluded hilltop setting overlooks portions of historic Galena, with picturesque views of the James River below. Watch floaters and kayakers make their way along the winding river, and occasionally catch a glimpse of the Scenic Ozark Mountain Railroad as it makes its way through the hills and into town. What a wonderful place to call home! This beautiful all-brick home offers a spacious, open floor plan designed for comfortable everyday living. The large living room features a very attractive wood-burning fireplace and generous windows that fill the home with natural light while bringing the beauty of the outdoors inside. The adjoining dining area flows conveniently into the kitchen, featuring quality all-wood cabinetry. The main level offers two bedrooms and three bathrooms, while the lower level provides a third bedroom, an additional family room, or a flexible space for crafts, hobbies, or storage. Whether you're entertaining family, enjoying a quiet evening by the fire, or simply looking for room to spread your wings, this home offers the space and versatility to make it your own. Step outside and discover what makes this property truly special! Open fenced pasture, ancient natural rock bluff formations, wooded hillsides, and breathtaking sunrises and sunsets create an Ozark landscape that never grows old. A 20' x 30' shop provides additional space for equipment, hobbies, or storage. PRIVATE, PEACEFUL, AND BEAUTIFULLY LOCATED! Enjoy the feeling of being miles away from everything while remaining just 3 minutes from floating the famous James River, 15 minutes from Table Rock Lake, 20 minutes from shopping, and only 35-45 minutes from Branson/Nixa/Springfield.
