Single Family Residence In Mulberry Grove

Some properties are just real estate. This one is a legacy. Set on 9.73 acres of timber, pasture, and cropland in the rolling hills of Fayette County, 102 E 725 Ave in Mulberry Grove is the kind of place people spend their whole lives looking for. About an hour from downtown St. Louis, 45 minutes from Scott Air Force Base, and less than 30 minutes from Carlyle Lake, this property puts you close enough to everything while feeling like you’re a world away. Step out of the master suite and onto the deck with your morning coffee, and the entire Fayette County countryside opens up in front of you, green fields, timber edges, and a horizon that goes on forever. The suite itself is a genuine retreat: 442 sq ft with a soaking tub, double vanity, separate shower, and that walkout deck view every single morning. Inside, the main level spans approximately 3,188 sq ft built for real life. Soaring tongue-and-groove cathedral ceilings anchor the great room, where a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, rich hardwood floors, and a spiral staircase winding to the loft create something that feels like a high-end lodge and a forever home all at once. The kitchen carries the same craftsmanship, a center island, fireplace, and stainless steel appliances tells you exactly how this home was built. A dedicated office, breakfast nook, mudroom, laundry, and an additional bedroom and bath round out a floor plan designed for how people actually live. The loft above is the perfect reading nook or overflow sleeping space for those big weekend gatherings. Downstairs, the story gets even better. Approximately 1,110 sq ft of finished walkout basement brings total living space to roughly 4,300 sq ft, complete with a full kitchen, two bedrooms, a full bath, and a massive living area that functions as fully self-contained quarters for guests, extended family, or in-laws. A covered patio stretches nearly 57 feet across the back of the lower level, giving you another outdoor living space that looks out over the property. The infrastructure here sets this place apart from everything else on the market. An 80x140 ft pole barn, over 11,000 sq ft, part of it is insulated, features a two-post vehicle lift, and even has a batting cage built inside. Part of this building currently operates as a boat storage business generating $3,000 per year in rental income. Keep the income, expand the operation, or simply store every toy you own, this building alone changes the equation. A second 12x24 outbuilding with a dog kennel rounds out the setup for the serious outdoorsman. With grain bins on site, permanent pasture, cropland already in the ground, and plenty of room for horses, this property is ready for the homesteader who’s been waiting for the right setup. The soil is here. The infrastructure is here. The land is here. You just bring the vision. And the wildlife. The trail cameras tell the story better than any listing ever could, monster velvet bucks in the summer heat, nocturnal giants slipping through the timber after dark. This land grows and holds quality whitetails season after season. Less than 30 minutes from Carlyle Lake means world-class fishing, boating, and waterfowl hunting are practically in your backyard. 4,300 sq ft of finished living space. 9.73 acres. Over 11,000 sq ft of barn. Income producing. Hunter’s paradise. Homesteader’s dream. Less than an hour from St. Louis. This is the kind of property you buy and never sell. The kind you pass down.
