Where self-reliance meets opportunity in the heart of the Ozarks. Built for resilience and positioned for independence in a resource-rich homestead in Cherokee County. Spanning 40± acres and located just 1.7± miles via Hwy 10 from Illinois River access at Arrowhead Resort and Peavine Public Access, this property is well-positioned for those seeking independence, security, and long-term sustainability. Cabin 1 offers a 4bd/4bth custom log home—built from standing dead Spruce and trusses made of Douglas Fir—offering strength and efficiency. Commanding full wrap-around porch views for full property awareness. The walk-out basement functions as a preparedness hub with three work bays, dedicated electric, and overhead doors for equipment and operations.
