THE PRICE LISTED IS THE STARTING BID AND DOES NOT REFLECT THE SELLING PRICE!*** A Storybook Home Steeped in History on 19.3 Acres in Rocheport, MO Nestled on 19.3 peaceful acres just outside Rocheport, this storybook home invites you into a world where craftsmanship, history, and nature come together in perfect harmony. With 5 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, a spacious main-level master suite, and a 3-car garage, this enchanting 1.5-story home features an inviting layout that blends rustic elegance with timeless comfort. At the heart of the home lies a remarkable story. The original builder lovingly incorporated hand-selected materials from an early 1800s log cabin-bringing its legacy to life in every beam and stone. The home's Salt Box-inspired design nods to traditional American architecture, while thoughtful additions over time offer the space and amenities modern life demands. Exposed hand-hewn black walnut beams and a two-story stone fireplace anchor the great room, with the notched log ends and mantel crafted from the same historic cabin. The weathered white oak boards lining the foyer and loft once served as cabin siding and are estimated to be well over 100 years old. Recent updates add function and flair: a large composite partial wrap-around deck overlooks the yard and offers the perfect spot to enjoy the property's natural beauty. Inside, the kitchen features solid birch cherry cabinetry, a Corian countertop with a molded-in sink, and newer double-hung, double-pane argon-filled windows throughout. The basement is even plumbed for a 4th full bathroom. Refinished hardwood floors glow with warmth and character, tying the living spaces together beautifully. The home is topped with GAF Country Mansion 50-year designer shingles, ensuring both durability and style. Underfoot in the entryway, original Columbia street pavers-manufactured in Moberly, MO-offer another link to local history. One of the most striking features is the antique stained glass memorial window in the great room, believed to date back to the mid-1800s and said (though unverified) to honor Nancy Hanks, Abraham Lincoln's mother. The property also includes a small cave, affectionately known as "Possum Pit," which was mapped by the Chouteau Grotto caving group in 2022, adding a hint of mystery and exploration to the land. From its handcrafted details to its rare materials and setting, this home is a celebration of Missouri heritage, thoughtfully designed for those who appreciate both story and structure. A truly one-of-a-kind opportunity to own a piece of history in the heart of Boone County.
