This Craftsman Mountain-style home offers the perfect balance of rustic charm & modern comfort in the heart of Truman Lake country between Clinton & Warsaw near the community of Tightwad. The exterior captures the timeless log-cabin look with a fresh stain & durable metal roof that matches the insulated shop, while inside you’ll discover vaulted ceilings, recessed lighting & a striking fireplace. The main-floor master suite features a large walk-in closet & a private ensuite bath, while the sweetest half bath adds convenience for guests & entertaining. The lower level offers two bedrooms, a full bath, second living area, laundry with adjoining office space, & a secure safe room for storage or peace of mind. Garden doors open to the walk-out basement patio, where a covered swing invites you to relax beside the small fountain-fed pond. Above, a raised deck with its own staircase provides an ideal spot for BBQs, birdwatching, & evenings in the forest edge. A bricked fire pit creates another gathering place to linger under the stars. On 4+ acres with a wet-weather creek at the back, this property also has trail access through adjoining land to Corps of Engineer ground & Truman Lake Reservoir through the woods. For rock enthusiasts, decades of fossil & geode hunting have produced two large displays that line the front drive & wind into a one-of-a-kind labyrinth leading to the entry. A circle drive welcomes guests easily, while the detached shop with concrete floors, electric, heat & cooling offers year-round versatility. Flower beds have been nurtured for 30+ years, wildlife including deer & turkey appear often, & every summer & fall the hummingbird migration transforms this property into a spectacle, with dozens of these tiny jewels filling the air. Whether your heart longs for lake life, a private retreat alive with wildlife, or the magic of a one-of-a-kind rock collector’s paradise, this property delivers a setting so unique it truly must be experienced in person.
