Secluded Amish-Built Homestead on 40 Wooded Acres - Alton, MONestled in the quiet Ozark hills just outside of Alton, Missouri, this 40-acre Amish-built homestead offers a rare opportunity to embrace a self-sufficient lifestyle surrounded by nature. The property features a diverse landscape with young, regrowing timber following previous selective logging, offering privacy, natural beauty, and future value. Approximately 20 acres are fenced--some with woven wire, some barbed wire--ready for livestock, horses, or rotational pasture use. Formerly operated as a working sawmill, the land still includes the original overhead pavilion, an ideal structure to repurpose for woodworking, covered storage, or open-air events.The main residence is a solidly built 30x40 two-story home with an 18x30 partial basement, offering ample space for customization or finishing. A second residence, measuring 16x32, is insulated and drywalled, providing flexible use as guest housing, extended family quarters, or income-producing rental space. Supporting outbuildings include a 20x28 workshop, chicken coop, barn, and three storage sheds--perfect for tools, equipment, or animal care. A concrete cistern has already been started behind the main home, and a gravel driveway leads you through the trees, adding to the secluded, private atmosphere.Located just minutes from Alton but well off the beaten path, this property delivers the best of both worlds--convenience and quiet. Whether you're dreaming of a sustainable homestead, a hobby farm, hunting retreat, or rural investment, this property offers the freedom and foundation to bring your vision to life in the heart of the Missouri Ozarks.
