236 Riverside Drive, Galena, MO 65656 - Stone County

Welcome to Riverside Retreat, a modern sanctuary tucked amid 17 acres of Ozarks tranquility along the James River. Thoughtfully positioned across three private parcels, this custom-built residence captures the rare blend of craftsmanship, comfort, and connection to nature that today's luxury buyers seek. The exterior showcases crisp white Hardie board-and-batten siding, a seamless metal roof, and extensive outdoor living areas including a covered back porch and fire-pit terrace overlooking the trees. Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings with wood planking and stacked-stone accent walls frame open living spaces flooded with natural light. A floor-to-ceiling gas fireplace anchors the great room, while the chef's kitchen pairs two-tone cabinetry and quartz-granite composite counters laced with subtle gold veining echoing the shimmer of the stonework nearby. No detail is overlooked: a Fisher & Paykel eight-burner double-oven range, soft-close cabinetry, an oversized pantry, and ample island seating that invites gathering. The main-level primary suite is a spa-like retreat with a soaking tub, dual vanities, a multi-jet walk-in shower, and an expansive dressing room. Two guest suites share a Jack-and-Jill bath and adjoining office nook, while a fourth ensuite bedroom upstairs offers complete privacy for guests or extended family. Beyond the walls, the home's integrity continues: foam-insulated attics, dual gas water heaters, a heat-pump system with gas backup, a 500-gallon in-ground propane tank feeding both generator and water heaters, and an immaculate garage with smart LiftMaster doors compatible with the MyQ app. An insulated outbuilding with power, water, sink, and workspace provides flexible utility or hobby space. With 225 feet of direct river frontage, sweeping acreage, and finishes that rival new construction, Riverside Retreat is less a home and more a statement crafted for those who value design, privacy, and the beauty of the Ozarks.
