Riverfront Retreat in the Ozarks with Custom Home 13+ Acres for Sale

Overlooking the James River in the heart of the Ozarks, this 3,226 square foot custom home offers a rare river view setting within the Nixa Public Schools district. The 13.32± acre tract, with additional acreage available, lies approximately one half mile downstream from the confluence of the Finley River and the James, in the area once known as Jamesville, with a history tracing back to the Osage Nation and carefully documented through generations of ownership. Originally constructed in 1984 and comprehensively expanded in 2012 by a well-known local builder as his personal long-term residence, the home was engineered to incorporate and preserve the original 1984 structure while seamlessly expanding into the residence that stands today. The result is a thoughtfully constructed home with soaring ceilings, strong lines, and expansive river views. Reclaimed and refinished oak barnwood floors run throughout. The main level places the primary suite privately on the east end, with a second bedroom opposite the dining area to the west. Just off the great room, a dedicated office/study provides a quiet workspace while remaining connected to the main living area. Upstairs, a third bedroom suite is joined by a separate living area overlooking the great room, separate living area, a large finished storage room, and a private bath. Each bedroom includes its own bathroom. At the end of a long, gated drive sits a 44’ x 34’ custom barn-style shop with generous space for vehicles, equipment, and workspace, along with a full bonus room spanning gable to gable above. West of the home, a custom kennel, designed to match the house and shop, reflects the property’s sporting heritage. River views, usable acreage, and improvements built with long-term ownership in mind—this is a rare offering along one of southwest Missouri’s most sought-after stretches of water.
