Grand Lake is known for waterfront homes on the shores of the lake but many of you do not know that we also have several nice country homes on an acreage where you can enjoy the best of country living without seeing your neighbor yet be close to all the water activity of Grand Lake.

The Hughes and Neill Grand Lake Team at RE/MAX Grand Lake offers country homes for retirement or country home for raising a family near the lake and Grove, OK most of the time. Today, we have not one but three nice country properties near Grand Lake listed. Let me tell you about them. Each is very unique and elegant in their own way but completely different from each other.

12-1702 is a log home on 20 acres listed for $398,000 or listed as 12-1311 with 79 acres for $499,000. This home features the huge large log construction that offer better insulation and longer lasting home. The home has a wraparound porch on three sides. The open floor plan downstairs features the kitchen, dining, living as one large room with high wood ceiling. On the first floor is also the master suite, a game room large enough for your pool table if you wish, a large storage room, and 1/2 bath. The upper level has sleeping quarters on both ends of the home, large enough for 2 beds on each end if you wish. There is also an area currently used as an exercise space or would make a nice home office. There is an inground storm shelter. The land is productive with just enough trees for character. There are several grass pasture traps, several with freeze proof water tanks. This home has a nice location close enough to Joplin, MO, Grove, OK, or Miami, OK for work. You will look a long time to find another nice place like this one.

Our next country estate is 12-1951 and is located just 5 miles from Grove, OK. This home is a Colorado style home that just brings the outdoor landscape inside with the windows in each room positioned just right to do so. It also features an open living, dining, kitchen with wood ceiling. The master suite has a setting nook with the outdoor views coming inside and you will not need curtains here as you cannot see the neighbors nor they you. Upstairs is two nice rooms, one used as guest bedroom and the other as a storage room and also a nice second living area with balcony and stairs to ground. Here you also have terrific views of the property and many trees and pond. The estate has a wonderful outdoor patio with the living room fireplace doubling as an outdoor fireplace for the patio. You can also clean the fireplace and load wood from the outside. The Gazabo is a great place to read a book or chat with a friend. You will spend hours in the 30’x40′ finished shop with heat and air and sink with water. This building could be made into a guest house or mancave with little work. You will enjoy walking your 10.85 acres m/l and enjoying the beautiful landscape. This fine country home is listed at $349,900 and is quality all the way.

The third country estate home is located North of Grove on Highway 10 and is an easy drive to Joplin, MO, Senaca, MO, or back to Grove. The rolling terrian is just beautiful.
