Résidence Unifamiliale à Salem

Salem, Missouri country home on approximately 10 acres! Located just a few miles south of Salem in Dent County, 171 Private Lane 615 offers approximately 2,839 sq. ft. in the main home plus an approximately 700 sq. ft. detached apartment, providing approximately 3,500 sq. ft. of combined living space between the two residences. The property also features multiple outbuildings, an above-ground pool, fenced garden area and expansive horse-country views.

The detached apartment is a major bonus, offering flexible space for guests, extended family, a private office or studio, or potential short-term rental use such as Airbnb or VRBO, subject to applicable local regulations and requirements. For buyers looking for separate living quarters or possible additional income potential, this feature sets the property apart.

One of the property’s most memorable features is the setting. Nearly every window captures a view of the surrounding countryside, with a neighboring horse-breeding farm wrapping around much of the property. Horses grazing in the fields, along with mares and foals during the season, create a constantly changing pastoral backdrop and a true country atmosphere that is difficult to duplicate.

A welcoming wraparound porch leads into a home filled with warmth and character. Hardwood floors, extensive wood trim and millwork, large windows and abundant natural light carry throughout much of the home. The spacious living room features a brick fireplace and scenic views, while an additional sitting or office area offers custom built-ins and flexible living space.

The kitchen provides generous cabinetry and workspace, a center island, breakfast and dining area, and convenient access to the rear deck and pool area. The main-level primary suite is generously sized with hardwood flooring, outdoor access and a private bath. Upstairs, additional bedrooms and living spaces include a large recreation or billiard room surrounded by windows overlooking the acreage and neighboring countryside.

Outdoor living is a major part of the property. Enjoy the expansive covered porch, deck and 30’ x 14’ above-ground pool, all positioned to take advantage of the surrounding rural views. Much of the approximately 10-acre property has been allowed to return to a more natural setting with native prairie grasses and seasonal wildflowers, creating a low-maintenance landscape with mowed paths winding through the property and around much of its perimeter. An established fenced garden area adds another dimension to the property’s country appeal.

In addition to the detached garage and apartment, the property includes another shop or outbuilding offering space for equipment, hobbies, storage or projects. The approximately 10 acres, multiple buildings and open ground provide a wide range of possibilities.

With approximately 3,500 sq. ft. of combined living space between the main residence and detached apartment, the property offers flexibility for guests, extended family, work-from-home use, or potential short-term rental income while still maintaining clear separation between the two living areas.

Located approximately 3.5; to 4 miles south of Salem, the property offers convenient access to shopping, restaurants, healthcare and services while maintaining a distinctly rural setting. Salem also provides convenient access to the outdoor recreation and natural attractions of the Missouri Ozarks.
