Tammy says what she loves most about this home is that it's like owning a little slice of heaven.

"It's peaceful, serene and private. Living here is like being on vacation every day of the year," she says, adding that plentiful windows enable year-round opportunities to enjoy the beautiful vistas around the home.

"You can enjoy horses in your own back yard, with quick and easy access to the stable. Plus, Wild Horse Creek Road is one of the most scenic drives in all of St. Louis. Folks out for a pleasure drive and numerous cycling groups and clubs love it out here," explains Tammy. "Our neighbors include numerous wildlife, turkeys, geese, deer, cattle, horses and chickens."

She adds that hosting intimate family gatherings or large soirees on the property become magical times for everyone involved. 

Associated schools with this property include Pond Elementary, Rockwood Valley Middle School and Lafayette High School. The oversized, detached garage has space for two vehicles. Another structure on the property can serve as a third garage, bonus building or even as a shed or workshop.
