The cabin on 134.8 acres in the countryside of Missouri is an off-grid dream that is perfectly tranquil. The 720-square-foot A-frame log retreat that was built in 2014 is located in the unspoiled forest and it offers one bedroom, two bathrooms, a loft, and vaulted ceilings that make it feel like the forest is part of the space. The little cabin with ceramic tile floors and radiant in-floor heat, and solar electric system is a true representation of the Ozarks—the very way the hand-hewn logs shine in the sunshine, the cathedral ceilings that give the impression that the forest is alive and the open beams that are heritage of the handcraft passed down for ages. The charm of the cabin is in the little things of life, an area where the sunrays coming through the pine trees to lighten up the ceramic tiling, a place where the loft is a perfect spot for reading and looking at the woods, and where every detail—from the wood stove heat to the metal roof whisper—are at one with the earth. It’s not only a place; it’s a great and gentle way of life slow down living, letting the seasons be the clock and finding happiness in the mere fact of being surrounded by nature’s quiet magnificence.
The cabin outside looks like a musical composition of wood and nature, its strong A-frame silhouette elevating from the soil as if it was always there, the logs piled with a great precision of a skilled builder, their amber colors attracting the sun as if the forest itself had given its light.
The metal roof, tough and black, goes down to get rid of heavy Missouri showers, while the covered patio at the front is an excellent basis for outdoor seating—a place for coffee as the mist is coming off the spring-fed pond, or for evening fires where the stars reflect on the water. The 134.8-acre property is a private oasis, with the pond’s soft waves being the melodious sound for the day, the surrounding trees being the trails for walks or look for deer in the early morning. The cabin’s style with big windows and covered entry is such that nature is always close, the beauty of the property making the cabin even more charming, thus creating a place that feels both isolated and still connected to the vastness of the Missouri countryside.
Within the limits of the cabin, the 720-square-foot Missouri residence is a wonderful mix of translucent and warm features where the ceiling was extended upwards, the dramatic effect of the rustic style was achieved by the use of the exposed beams while decorated ceramic floors balance the whole with their natural colors. The living room is the center of the house—a great meeting place for family movie nights, holiday celebrations, or quiet evenings with a book along the wood stove, the fire giving off a golden hue to the log walls and inviting you to take up the comfortable seating.
The open plan flows into a bright kitchen with enough counters, a pantry for storage, and ceiling fans for keeping the air fresh on hot days, the place being designed for the cooking pleasure—be it a quick breakfast or a lavish meal for guests, the plan thus allowing the cook to be still a part of the conversation. The dining room next to and open, can easily accommodate four people, the table turning into a place where laughter and stories happen, large windows providing the light and views that make eating occasions memorable.
The bedroom is a peaceful resort with a queen bed being side by side with log walls, plenty of closet space for linens and clothes and direct access to a bathroom fitted with modern fixtures and tiled floors.
The loft, a wonderful space for visitors or children, has twin bunks with space for a dresser, the area being cozy and useful for a family trip. The second bathroom, a half-bath on the main floor, is equipped with a vanity and toilet and is meant for guests, while the full bath upstairs has a tub/shower combo. The cabin’s intentional features—such as in-floor radiant heat for comfort all year round, solar panels for off-grid power, and ceiling fans for summer breezes—give the impression of a very simple space where the charm is the combination of the rugged side of the soul and the modern conveniences side.
The cabin’s allure is boosted by how it is bound to Mother Nature, the covered patio acting as a link to the outdoors where the deck’s fire pit snapping away under the stars and the lighted carport making the coming and going after dark safe and easy.
The 134.8-acre property offers privacy with enough space for gardening or a small play area while the woods surrounding the land providing you with trails for morning walks or evening strolls. The cabin’s location in the Missouri countryside makes it close to Mark Twain National Forest and the Eleven Point River, the area’s hiking trails and fishing spots are just a short trip away, the cabin a perfect place for both the adventure and the rest. The interior of this cabin with its rustic log walls, wood stove, warm lighting—meets the natural beauty of the outside, a place that is as wonderful because of its solitude as it is because of the shared joy, where the pond views through the windows remind you that you are not only living in the cabin—you are living with the land.
