Property Description

Where self-reliance meets opportunity in the heart of the Ozarks. Built for resilience and positioned for independence in a resource-rich homestead in Cherokee County. Spanning 40 acres and located just 1.7 miles via Hwy 10 from Illinois River access at Arrowhead Resort and Peavine Public Access, this property is well-positioned for those seeking independence, security, and long-term sustainability. Cabin 1 offers 4bd/4bth custom log home-built from kiln-dried Douglas Fir-offers strength, efficiency, and commanding wrap-around porch views for full property awareness. The walk-out basement functions as a preparedness hub with three work bays, dedicated electric, and overhead doors for equipment and operations. A reinforced 12' x 16' safe room, paired with a bedroom and full bath, provides hardened shelter, secure storage, or private quarters. A well water purification system on main cabin supports off-grid readiness. The land delivers critical natural resources, including a spring-fed creek, pond, mature timber, and abundant wildlife-whitetail deer, elk, bear, hogs, and turkey-supporting hunting, food sourcing, and a self-sustaining lifestyle. Additional structures increase flexibility and resilience: Cabin 2 - 2bd/2bth cabin with pellet stove, sunroom, and covered decks for extended family or rental income; Cabin 3 - 3bd/1bth cabin ready for repair or repurposing; and a 40' x 50' shop with electric for maintenance, storage, or trade use. Ideal for a private homestead, multi-family compound, or income-producing retreat, this property is built to support independence without sacrificing opportunity. Private showings by appointment only.
