1720 E Fir Rd Carthage, MO 64836

Located just a half-mile from the Carthage city limits, this thoughtfully designed 2,543-square-foot brick home offers the perfect balance of peaceful country living and convenient access to town. Crafted with quality and care, the home features three spacious bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a bright, open layout that invites warmth and natural light throughout. The living areas are both inviting and functional, complemented by custom cabinetry, soft-close pull-out drawers, and a dedicated canning room that offers additional space for culinary or hobby pursuits. The master suite serves as a tranquil retreat, providing privacy and comfort in equal measure. At the heart of the home, a well-appointed kitchen features a propane cook stove and custom cabinetry, while a separate canning kitchen—wired with eight individual 20-amp outlets—awaits final touches such as stove and sink installation, offering flexibility for future use. Built on a post-tension foundation and insulated with both batt and spray foam (R30 rating), the home is designed for long-lasting durability and year-round energy efficiency. A propane central heating system and a pellet stove in the fireplace ensure comfort and charm in every season. Practical upgrades include electrical outlets under the soffits for holiday lighting, a gas line on the back patio for grilling or outdoor lighting, and a continuous-pressure water system in the attached two-car garage that maintains a steady 60 PSI water supply. The gated entrance—complete with water and electric—is easily controlled from inside the home for added convenience and security. Beyond the residence, the property showcases exceptional versatility and functionality. A newly constructed 56' x 70' climate-controlled building, used as a kennel business, is fully insulated (R30), heated, and cooled—offering potential for use as a studio, retail space, guest quarters, or event venue. A second structure—a 42' x 40' insulated shop with an attached 12' x 40' lean-to—provides ample space for equipment, storage, or creative projects. All three buildings are powered by a robust 400-amp electrical service, ensuring consistent and reliable operation. The land is equally impressive, with approximately 92.5% consisting of productive Class 2 and Class 3 soils—primarily Maplegrove Silt Loam and Newtonia-Eldorado Silt Loam—making it ideal for row cropping or hay production. The remainder is composed of Class 3 Gerald Silt Loam. The pasture is carefully maintained with a blend of endophyte-free spring and summer grasses, ensuring excellent forage quality. Fully perimeter fenced and divided into five large paddocks, each with automatic waterers, the property is ideally suited for cattle or equine operations. A serene, one-acre pond anchors the southern edge of the property and serves as both a functional water source and a scenic gathering place. Framed by rolling grass and tree shaded, the pond features a newly installed arched footbridge, perfect for quiet mornings, summer picnics, or evenings under the stars. The entire property is serviced by a private well, and new pipe fencing enhances both its security and aesthetic appeal. This exceptional Southwest Missouri estate offers far more than just a place to live—it presents a rare opportunity to create a lifestyle. Whether you seek a peaceful retreat, a home-based business location, or a property that can evolve with your family's needs, this one-of-a-kind offering is ready to welcome you home.
