About This Home

Discover a rare and captivating opportunity to own a truly one-of-a-kind lakefront home steeped in heritage and character. Originally crafted in 1933 by students of College of the Ozarks, this custom native stone home is a visual masterpiece featuring hand-hewn beams, massive stonework, and charming architectural details throughout three unique levels.
Step through the striking knotty alder door with speakeasy grill and be drawn into the timeless charm blended seamlessly with thoughtful updates. From fresh interior paint and updated fixtures to beautiful Bohemian-style tile and new wheat-toned laminate flooring, every corner has been refreshed with style and care.
The grand living room boasts soaring cathedral ceilings and a stately stone fireplace—perfect for cozy evenings as the sun sets over the mountains and Lake Taneycomo glistens in the background. Enjoy peaceful mornings or quiet evenings in the screened-in three-season porch, a favorite perch for spotting local bald eagles.
The main level includes a warm, inviting primary bedroom and bath, plus a cozy study or guest room just across the hall. Downstairs, you'll find a charming log-style kitchen with a brand-new oven, gorgeous granite countertops and tile backsplash, a spacious family room with a second stone fireplace and woodstove insert, and a generous four-season room ideal for entertaining and family gatherings.
Upstairs, a catwalk balcony leads to two more guest bedrooms and an additional bath. Outside, stone paths and patios wind through beautiful landscaping and offer lake views from every angle. A detached two-car garage and unbeatable location just two minutes to town complete the package.
Don't miss this extraordinary blend of craftsmanship, history, and lakefront beauty—schedule your private showing today before this gem is gone!
