Property Description

Nestled on 1.37 wooded acres in a gated, 3-lake community just 28 miles from St. Louis, this private custom ranch is a nature lover’s retreat in a low tax county! Mature trees, year-round greenery, and a small pond that attracts birds and wildlife create a peaceful, park-like setting you can enjoy from the front porch or the beautifully landscaped backyard.  Inside, an open-concept floorplan with warm earth tones offers 3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms. The dream kitchen features 32 cabinets, expansive granite countertops, and a large island that seats six, ideal for cooking, hosting, and gathering. Just steps away, the laundry room includes a custom workstation and extra storage for everyday convenience.  The primary suite offers a walk-in closet, sliding glass door to the front porch, and a spa-like bath with a soaker tub overlooking the wooded backyard—perfect for unwinding while watching birds and wildlife. On the lower level, a walk-out suite with kitchenette, bedroom, and full bath with soaker tub provides flexible space for guests, long visits, or future multi-purpose use. The partially unfinished basement adds opportunities for a future bedroom, gym, game room, or media space, plus a storm cellar/storage area.  Thoughtful, high-efficiency construction helps keep energy bills low, including upgraded windows and doors, high-end multi-stage HVAC heat pump, blown-in insulation, foam-sealed can lights, 1½-inch styrofoam on exterior living space walls, south-facing glass doors for passive winter heat, and a high-efficiency wood-burning stove ducted to the return air. The oversized 2-car garage offers built-in, floor to ceiling shelving, 2 workbenches, and ceiling storage for bikes and a small boat.  Beyond the home, Raintree Plantation is a  unique, amenity rich community with 3 stocked lakes, swimming, boating, fishing, an 18-hole golf course, pickleball and volleyball courts, pool, clubhouse/restaurant, RV campsites, and 36 miles for biking, golf carts, and cardio—an ideal blend of comfort, nature, and recreation.
