“I’m looking for a home on acreage…”


More and more we are hearing buyers say they are looking for a home on a few acres.  Depending on what stage of life they are in, different reasons are given, but it seems to boil down to wanting to find something that reflects the way they grew up.

It is no secret that many of our local residents are transplants from small towns (me being one of those transplants).  However, desire to find a little land to call their own isn’t only coming from locals. We are seeing many people from larger urban areas inquiring about our local communities and  seem eager to call the Ozarks home. 

The great thing about this area is you don’t have to uproot and move out to the “farm” while giving up quick access to modern amenities. Frankly, you can set up a small farm with chickens and veggies right in the middle of Springfield on a  quarter acre lot. It takes some gumption and creativity, but plenty of people are doing just that (check local city codes and take your neighbors into consideration, please).

If your dream is to find a home on 40 acres, 15 acres, or .25 acre you can find those all right here. It takes a little time to find the right one and owning a home always requires some work. Our job is to help you find the place you will call home.
