The space
Tucked amoung 18 private wooded acres, this one-of-a-kind 7-sided ridge-top retreat offers peace, privacy, and plenty of space to spread out. With four private master suites, extra sleeping areas including a trundle bed, two sectionals, and queen beds throughout, there’s room for the whole crew.

Large, fully stocked kitchen opens to multiple dining spaces and a screened-in back porch—perfect for morning coffee and late-night card games. The main living area features a large sectional for lounging or additional sleeping.

One master suite boasts a deep soaking tub and private sauna for that spa-at-home feel, while the other three offer shower/tub combos. Outdoors, a charcoal grill and fire pit invite evening s’mores and stargazing. Kids can enjoy the play space, outdoor games, and basketball hoops.

Whether you're sipping wine from the nearby Shawnee Hills Wine Trail, exploring Kinkaid Lake, hiking the Shawnee National Forest, or just relaxing in nature, this ridge home delivers a rare mix of comfort, seclusion, and adventure.

Pets welcome.
