In 1849, German immigrant Dietrich F. Voss hired stonemasons at just 50 cents a day to build a legacy along the serene Bourbeuse River. By 1851, this iconic 4-story limestone Federal-style home rose on 17+ pristine acres—now exquisitely restored to reveal breathtaking details at every turn: meticulously refinished wood floors, original stone fireplaces, and expansive rooms filled with character. The chef’s kitchen is a masterpiece, boasting exposed stone walls, endless counter space, and a massive gas range designed for culinary artistry. Beyond the main house, discover three enchanting riverfront cabins, each with a private kitchen, cozy bedroom, porch, and dreamy outdoor shower overlooking the gently flowing river—perfect for mornings spent floating, fishing, or embracing nature’s calm. A sprawling 4-stall barn opens to lush pastures, complemented by a pot bellied pig enclosure, chicken coop, corn crib, summer kitchen, and smokehouse—historic charm meets elegant countryside living. Less than an hour from St. Louis, this estate offers limitless potential: create a lucrative income stream renting the cabins, launch a charming bed & breakfast, host unforgettable weddings, operate an dreamy hobby farm or simply embrace a peaceful, private homestead. Whether your dream is lifestyle, legacy, or profit, this rare Franklin County treasure delivers it all with unmatched beauty and opportunity.Show Description MLS® Number25039378
