Lake Thunderhead Log Sided Home for sale

4 Bedroom Lake Thunderhead Home on 2 Lots | 32026 Falcon Drive, Unionville, MO | $379,000

If you've been looking for a home at the lake that you can actually live in, not just visit on weekends, this one deserves a look.

32026 Falcon Drive is a 2012-built, 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom home with 2,280 square feet at Lake Thunderhead, a few miles north of Unionville in Putnam County, Missouri. It sits on 2 second-tier lots that run from road to road, so you've got frontage on both sides and more room than most places at the lake. Second tier means you're one row back from the water, close enough to be on the lake in a couple minutes, without paying waterfront prices.

The house

This is a house with enough space, but not so much that you spend your weekends cleaning rooms nobody uses. The layout works. It's comfortable when the whole family is home, and split up enough that everybody can find a corner to themselves.

• Price: $379,000
• Built: 2012
• 2,280 sq ft
• 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms
• 2 second-tier lots, road to road
• Hardwood floors
• Hard surface countertops
• Custom kitchen cabinets
• Stackable washer and dryer
• Forced-air propane heat (leased tank through MFA)
• Central air
• Electric water heater
• PEX plumbing with manifold block system
• Slab foundation
• Covered front porch
• No garage, with room to build one
• Association dues: $1,100 per year

The covered front porch is where you'll end up. Morning coffee, evening visiting, watching a storm roll in. In my opinion it's good rain or shine.

There's no garage today, but with two lots you've got the room to put one up, and that's a better problem to have than not having the space at all.

The lake

Here's the honest truth: the house is nice, but it's the lake that makes the difference. Lake Thunderhead is a private 1,040-acre lake with 34 miles of shoreline, managed by the Wildflower Community Association. Members have boating, fishing, swimming and golf. It gives your family a place to come together, stay busy, and spend time with each other.

• Retirees who want lake living without a big house to maintain
