208 W 267th St, Cleveland, MO 64734 - Cass County

To find this kind of serenity and country beauty at an affordable price you usually have to travel a long way from metro KC. But this 17 acre secluded gem is less than 20 minutes from the major KC southern suburbs. You are first struck by the hidden location of this timber filled tract, but it’s only a short drive in a couple of directions to both Kansas and Missouri highways.

The winding drive down to the quaint cottage makes you think you are in the foothills of the Rockies not on the Kansas/Missouri border. The house seems inviting yet small until you realize that the lower portion of the house is open to an expansive lawn leading down to a timbered pond. This home built in the 1970’s is a throwback in time to a slower more relaxed pace of life. A large kitchen and living upstairs are accentuated by twin bedrooms, and a deck that goes the length of the house overlooking the pond. Downstairs is a massive family room with its own fireplace, and opens up to another length of house deck, along with another bedroom and bath.

The 1970’s décor of the house has been recently enhanced with some updates and repairs but even then the owners are allowing a $15,000 allowance for further updates or repairs by the new owners so your can put your own stamp on it.

But it’s when you are able to tear yourself away from the house and begin to explore the grounds that you realize what a hidden retreat you have found. There is old growth timber everywhere. Birds of all types are both seen and heard no matter where you go on the property. From your deck you can watch a doe and her twin fawns, or perhaps a clutch of turkey’s being watched over by their mother hen. As you follow the trail down to a hidden rocky bottomed stream you realize that the biggest part of the property is also the most hidden and secluded. You will find a massive Burr Oak, towering Sycamores, and many more hardwoods and cedars lining the stream that winds it way through the middle of the property. When the owner’s children were younger this property was toured in many trails for both horseback and 4 wheelers.

Now you can create that same hidden sylvan retreat for your own family. All of this and it’s only a few minutes from metro KC. While we hope that you find this to be your dream property if it is not we are specialists in property of this type and will be glad to find your dream property for you.
