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 a 4bd/4bth custom log home-built from standing dead Spruce and trusses made of Douglas Fir-offering strength and efficiency. Commanding full 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 in the 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.
