From your living room you will watch the morning mist rise off the Gasconade River, hear the splashing of smallmouth bass. Simply walk out your front door, take a few steps, and you are on a deck overlooking the river. See the eagles as they search for breakfast. Watch the great blue heron slowly moving through the shallows.

Look around, and be enveloped by the silence. This property borders the Mark Twain National Forest and is heavily covered with towering oak and walnut trees. You are two miles from a highway, the property being located just off a county maintained gravel road.

Stroll a few more yards and you are at the tackle house, with concrete steps and wooden ramps leading to your floating dock. Just hop in the canoe and go. No driving to a park, no waiting for a boat ramp. In this case, you own the park. The river is available whenever you feel the urge.

 If you seek the ultimate weekend vacation spot...you've found it.

• Nearly 900 feet of Gasconade River frontage. • 10 acres m/l. Forested with massive oak and walnut trees • Property borders the Mark Twain National Forest. • Incredible smallmouth bass fishing. • Fantastic hunting for wild turkey and whitetail deer. • Cabin is 2 BR/1 Bath with approx. 750 square feet total. Wood floors, pine walls and ceilings. Combination kitchen and living room. Glass front woodstove inset in a stone fireplace. Electric wall heater, appliances, and window unit air conditioner. For many years this cabin was owned by a Kansas City family that used it as a weekend vacation home. I made some additions so it is very comfortable for year-round use. Water is on a good well, with well-pump and well-house being directly adjacent to the cabin. • The cabin is located on a bluff well above the flood plain (I remained high and dry during last year's 100 year flood). Insurance is no problem, and the local fire department is located less than four miles away • New chimney casing and new roof. • Approx. 1/4 acre of front yard is fenced, should you have pets. • A large and beautiful covered deck, with built-in benches, hangs over the river. Concrete steps and a wood ramp leads to a floating dock. • Small tackle house. • There is a second cabin on the property. It has electricity, and at one time was a rental for hunters. The standpipe for the well is near the front door. This cabin is currently used as a woodshop, but could easily be converted into a guest house. • Storage barn sits behind house • High speed internet and digital TV recently became available via the phone company. However, the property includes a TV satellite dish and a direct uplink/download satellite dish for internet. • The property is just off a maintained county road, two miles from Highway 32 in southeast Laclede County, Mo. • Taxes are approximately $150 per year (yes, per year)
