A hot June sun burns overhead as the sounds of summer in the countryside pour through the car windows. Bees buzz lazily in the shade as you ease down the gravel road and turn into the drive. To your right, green pastures roll across the hills, while up ahead, an old hound dog trots out to greet you. Horses wander to the fence line, looking for a snack, their tails swishing as sage grass sways behind them — a gentle 'welcome home.'Set at the very end of an old gravel road, surrounded by neighboring large farms, this 80-acre spread in Oregon County, Missouri offers the kind of peace that can't be faked.
