    What's special

    Floor-to-ceiling stone fireplaceCaptivating drivewayMiles of side-by-side trails
    Imagine owning a timeless piece of Missouri history. More than 250 years ago, the Osage people traveled these valleys, and pioneers like Daniel Boone, his son Nathan and nephew/adopted son Jonathan Bryan helped shape this remarkable landscape. A captivating driveway leads around to a ONE-OF-A-KIND property built in the 1840’s for Jonathan Bryan. “Bryan Mill” rests gracefully on 105.4+/- acres providing a peaceful & tranquil atmosphere, conveniently located near Augusta & Defiance, with a STRIKING, FINELY DETAILED, FULLY FURNISHED, FRENCH INSPIRED w/exquisite imported antiques curated by Annie Brahler of EuroTrash, Inc. At the heart of the property is an 1840s built cottage exquisitely reimagined as a luxurious country residence, and STATELY early 1800’s built 68’x36’ Stone mill/outbuilding with 2 BEAUTIFUL automatic solid wood doors, floor-to-ceiling Stone fireplace, 37’+/- vaulted ceiling, kitchen, 2 half baths, & an abundant amount of storage space, AND a COMPLETELY REDONE stone chicken coop. Throughout the cottage, historic details have been carefully preserved and complemented by modern mechanical systems, conveniences, and automated security and surveillance. The home boasts 2,815+/- SqFt, 5 bedrooms, 2 full baths, with mostly original hardwood flooring throughout and a kitchen anchored by a 65 inch La Cornue Chateau Series range. The historic mill is equally remarkable. Beautifully restored and fully climate-controlled with modern HVAC systems, the mill features a catering kitchen and expansive event and entertaining spaces. It offers an extraordinary setting for private dinners, celebrations, retreats, creative pursuits, or large-scale entertaining—all without ever leaving the privacy of the estate.

Beyond the residence, private acreage unfold through rolling fields, mature woods, gardens, and majestic private pathways winding throughout the estate. A dramatic boulder firepit creates an intimate destination for evenings outdoors, while even the custom chicken coop has been thoughtfully designed to complement the architecture and character of the property. Opportunities to own a tract with this combination of history, natural beauty, privacy, and location are exceptionally rare, especially with frontage on the coveted Hwy F. This isn't just land—it's a place where your family's next chapter can begin and memories can be made for generations to come. MUST SEE! Today, you have the rare opportunity to own 105.4+/- acres of beautiful land just off Highway F, conveniently located near Augusta and Defiance, with over $1,000,000 of road and infrastructure improvements completed creating multiple opportunities for building sites on the property with electric, well and septic in place.
