THE FARM

This 382.51± acre working farm outside New Haven brings together a historic log farmhouse, finished workshop, income-producing cropland, three stocked ponds and approximately 1 mile of Boeuf Creek frontage with approximately ½ mile of frontage on Dissen Road. The farmhouse sits on the hilltop with beautiful views in all directions, and at night the Milky Way sparkles in the distance. When you do want to leave the farm, the restaurants, wineries and shops of New Haven, Washington, Rosebud and Hermann are just minutes away.

THE HOME

The two-story home is a piece of this farm’s own history. It began as the two-room log cabin of an early settler in the mid to late 1800s. Its massive hand-hewn oak beams were taken down, moved from the cabin’s original site on the farm and reassembled on the hilltop in 2005, where the old cabin was reincarnated as a modern farmhouse. The original French Colonial log rooms offer a taste of history, with broad timbers and visible corner joinery set against wood floors, crown molding and finished trim.

The main-level primary suite sits inside those log walls, with an adjoining sitting room and a bath with a soaking tub and separate tiled shower. The logs follow the tall stairway up to three more bedrooms, one with its own full bath, for a total of four bedrooms, four full baths and a half bath in 3,184 square feet over a basement with storage and a two-car garage. The basement, garage and completed four-season rooms add another 2,236 square feet of interior space, and the four-season rooms have their own dedicated HVAC.

The full-service kitchen has custom cherry shaker style cabinets, a large black island, GE Profile appliances including a gas cooktop under a vented hood and an electric wall oven, a walk-in pantry, and views of the creek valley from the dining area. An arched doorway opens into the great room, where a vaulted ceiling and arched transom windows frame the countryside and a sliding door steps out to the covered porch and composite deck. The window-lined sunroom and four-season room give you places to unwind and unplug, the front porch takes in the sunrise, and the back porch entertainment area catches the full sunset.

The comforts are as current as the logs are old. A new architectural shingle roof went on in 2020, and three zoned HVAC systems and a 50-gallon propane water heater went in during 2024. Hardie fiber-cement siding, 200 amp service, central vacuum, and a well with a water softener round out the house. All interior water faucets, including the detached shop, are treated through the water softener and filter. Downstairs you will find a two-bay garage with automatic openers, a full bath, a rec room and plenty of storage, plus a 14 x 30 carport added in 2021. The home previously operated as a short-term vacation rental, so it works as well for family gatherings and corporate retreats as it does for full-time living.

THE SHOP

The major opportunity for anyone who works with their hands, though, is the shop space. The detached shop adds 2,876 square feet of finished, insulated and climate-controlled space: a 36 x 51 building built in 2013 and a 26 x 40 addition built in 2017 with a finished bathroom. Both wear the same siding as the farmhouse, have their own HVAC systems and run on their own electric meter, so you can maintain equipment, restore a truck or run a woodshop in any season.

THE LAND AND WATER

Beyond the yard, gently rolling fields of productive, income-producing cropland and hay ground fall away to wooded draws and creek bottom, so the open ground keeps working for you while you enjoy the rest of the farm. Tree lines and timbered draws break the tillable acres into a series of separate fields, and a long timbered draw runs diagonally through the southern half of the farm down toward the creek.

Boeuf Creek forms much of the southern boundary and flows year-round along approximately 1 mile of the eastern and southern portions of the property, and its bends, gravel bars and wooded banks make a great place to explore, wade or cool off during the summer. Portions of the bottomland along the creek are in a mapped floodplain. Three ponds add to the water: two stocked ponds of approximately 2 acres each, set between the fields and timber, give you two places to wet a line, and an approximately ½ acre stocked pond sits near the house and shop.

HUNTING

That layout puts food, cover and water within a short walk of each other: crop and hay fields for feed, timbered draws and creek-bottom cover for bedding, and the creek and ponds for water. The edges where the fields meet the timber and creek are natural spots to hang a stand for whitetails. Come spring, the same open fields and creek-bottom timber give you room to set up on gobbling turkeys.

You can keep the ground in production and let the farm help pay its way, turn some field corners into food plots, or build out more habitat and stand locations, and there is plenty of room to do all three. If you have been looking for a farm with real history, modern comfort and working ground in Missouri wine country, this one is a must-see. Reach out today for your own private tour.
