What the owner loves about this home
We love the fact we are secluded, especially when corn is in the east field. While we are far out enough for privacy and peace, we are within commuting distance to the metro east, Scott AFB, and for more adventurous travelers, the St Louis metropolitan area. St Louis Lambert International Airport is just 66 miles (about an hour) away from the house. Country living with a gun/archery range, nice pond and beautiful pool make this a place you won't want to leave.
