Single Family Residence in Galena, MO

Liberty Lodge Set at the end of a long, private drive that meanders through 171+- acres, this 2,400 square foot, 3-bedroom, 3-bath custom log home was designed to belong to its setting. Rather than clearing the land, the structure was fitted into it. Mature hardwoods were preserved. The creek below used to create a serene lake teaming with wildlife. Sightlines were protected. From a distance, the home appears to rise naturally from the terrain, anchored by stone and framed by forest.Construction emphasized longevity over speed. Massive hand-peeled logs were selected and placed with intention. Exposed beams and solid wood surfaces define the interior, while native stone was used extensively throughout the landscaping and the home--most notably in the great room fireplace, constructed stone by stone as the visual and functional heart of the residence.Inside, the layout favors gathering without excess. The kitchen was designed as a working centerpiece, anchored by a substantial stone island and surrounded by custom cabinetry and high end appliance finishes. Living spaces flow easily from one to the next, with large windows drawing in light, treetops, and views of the water below. The home offers multiple living levels, allowing for both privacy and togetherness. Lofted and upper-level spaces provide guest accommodations, while the lower level was designed for extended stays, recreation, or quiet retreat. Additional features include a gun safe room with a workbench in the basement, greenhouse, horse corral, and miles of trails right out your door. Whether you're riding horses, gardening, hunting, or simply enjoying the quiet, this property offers a lifestyle that's becoming harder to find.
