About this property
1897 Historic Home In Midwest
Come. Sit on the front porch and swing. Enjoy the local amenities such as the Katy BikeTrail, Arrow Rock Historic Sites, or Warm Springs Ranch, the home of the Budweiser horses. History-lovers can enjoy lovely small-town charm in this home located in the heartland of Missouri only 3 miles north of major I-70. Minutes from historic Arrow Rock. Stroll downtown Blackwater, an old railroad town, for antiques, restaurants. 80 miles from Kansas City, 100 miles from St. Louis, 35 miles from Columbia, 12 miles from Boonville. You will love it!
This home is a labor of love. This has been a family home for 90 years. This newly refurbished home is meant as a quiet retreat for non smokers. All amenities are included. Please be respectful of this historic home. Only two 3-inch steps opens to an easily accessible house, all on one floor. New dishwasher available. I'll provide coffee. All other food must be provided by guests. There is a small grocery store in town. Enjoy the area! You will love it.
