About this property
Private, gated manor on 17 acres just minutes from Branson, MO
Koinonia Manor is a stunning private residence whose family has been displaced to another state. Our loss is your gain as it is an amazing location for your family reunion or group vacation.
With approximately 9,500 square feet (yes, you read that correctly) for your own use, this home includes a private movie room with tiered seating, gourmet kitchen, a stunning master suite with a two person shower (described later), complete guest suite, two play rooms, office, four additional bedrooms with queen beds, basement room with a queen and two twin XL beds, and multiple large living spaces. The house is currently being refurnished and redecorated, so this is an initial listing at a substantial discount with the understanding that the house will be fully functional and ready for your use, but not everything is in perfect working order or as "homey" as it will be in the near future. Everything will be as described, meaning anything not in perfect working order will be clearly stated. You may even have more amenities and newer furniture than described by the time you arrive, but don’t worry, you will not be charged more if the house is better than listed :) While the home is not ADA compliant and does not have bars in restrooms or showers, we did have a ramp built by a friend that can be used to make the front door accessible for a person in a wheelchair and the main level guest suite is designed to allow for a wheelchair.
We will update the entrance keypads with the code of your choice for your safety and privacy. Using that code, you may enter through the double front doors to a vaulted entry with the formal office and large dining room on either side. Ahead are stairs to the "balcony" and an open entrance to the great room with real wood burning fireplace. There is some finish damage to the wood floors in the great room that in no way impairs function and will likely be covered with an area rug soon. On one side of the great room is the Asian inspired private guest suite complete with a roll in shower and wide doorways. On the other is a gourmet kitchen complete with a double oven, Miele steam oven, two dishwashers, large refrigerator/freezer, microwave, two refrigerated drawers, and a center island with large propane cooktop (4 burners plus an indoor grill equivalent to two burners) and a small prep sink. Beyond the kitchen is a pantry that has ample room for everything you need as well as an additional freezer. There is also a half bath and a laundry room with two washers a large dryer, and a two level dryer (bottom is typical, top is an express air dryer). **Due to COVID protocols, the laundry room is currently unavailable for guest use. There is still a stackable washer and dryer in the guest suite along with detergent and fabric softener sheets.
The upstairs has a massive Master Suite with a luxurious king size bed, a sleeper sofa, enough room for air mattresses if you are sharing with kids, a walk in closet the size of a child's bedroom, and a beautiful Master Bath. There is a large quartz topped double vanity with make up seat, a SOK tub (you might actually be able to float in it) and the aforementioned two person shower. One side of the shower has a traditional set up, and the other has a shower system with a shower head, body jets, and a hand held that is stored on an adjustable bar that is perfect for using for shaving while sitting on the built in seat.
On the other side of the balcony is a two room play area that is divided by a half wall and half door, two bedrooms that share a bath, spiral stairs to the garage entry, and two more bedrooms that share a shower and toilet, but each have a vanity in the bedroom. Each bedroom has a different “feel” and a new queen bed. Each mattress is different, so you will absolutely find a bed to your liking.
The basement boasts a movie room with a projector and very large screen. There are reclining seats on two tiers and ample open space in front for additional seats. The components were recently replaced and updated, so it is optimally configured and ready for hours of use. The home has Direct TV and you are welcome to enjoy your favorite shows on the big screen. The basement has a Tiki "bar" and kitchenette (sink, microwave, and dish washer), but is not set up with glassware. We generally used the "bar" for soda and popcorn. There are two full baths including wooden lockers as well as a room that was intended as a workout room but has been converted to an extra room with a queen and two twin XL beds. The main gathering area of the basement has a pool table, air hockey (the scoring feature is not currently working), foosball, and a pinball that needs some lights to be repaired, but otherwise functions well. These amenities are NOT part of a facility and are yours to enjoy privately. A variety of puzzles, books, and games are also available for your enjoyment.
Speaking of privacy, there is undeveloped wilderness for the entire valley behind the home. The neighbors are quiet and far enough away that you may never see them unless you WANT to. For our protection and yours there are security cameras at the front gate and exterior entrances including the front door, garage doors, side yard off the kitchen, guest suite sliding door, and basement exterior doors. There is also one camera monitoring the movie room equipment closet behind a closed pocket door that never needs to be opened as everything can be run via the universal control 4 remote.
In addition to the beds in each official bedroom, there are 4 fold up beds in the play room closet, couches, and reclining chairs that some guests choose to sleep in because they are so comfortable. When we were still living in the home, it was not unusual for our local friends to stay with us during extended power outages as we have a generator that runs all of the essentials plus the movie room and TV sets (those are essential, right?)
The main level of the home as well as the upstairs hallway are primarily ceramic tile and hardwood, although the guest suite is carpeted. Well behaved dogs with attentive owners are welcome on non-carpeted areas with additional deposit and cleaning fee. As the lady of the house has many allergies and chemical sensitivities, we request that you abstain from scented candles and air fresheners. We happily provide laundry detergent and fabric softener for your use. Essential oil diffusers are welcome if you agree to only use lavender containing oils in non carpeted rooms or the two far bedrooms. We happily accept special requests (such as access to a dedicated gluten free toaster, for example) and will do our best to accommodate them whenever possible.

About the host
Hosted by Heather Naegele
Why they chose this property
I built this home for my large family, so the attention to detail is very personal. I manage the property with the help of local friends and will continue to add amenities and homey touches because this isn't "just" an investment property.
What makes this property unique
Koinonia Manor is a complete package unlike anything else in the area. It is spacious and elegant, but not stuffy. Private, but still close to the attractions that draw you to Branson.
