8578 Lizard Lane

A rare 56 +/- acre offering in Jefferson County combines seclusion, usable ground, and quick access to nearby amenities. Located at the end of a quiet road and just under four minutes from Highway 30, this property delivers a peaceful rural setting while still being an easy drive to the St. Louis area. The land is a well-balanced mix of open pasture and mature timber, highlighted by a stand of pine trees, rolling topography, and attractive views throughout. Ideal for livestock, horses, recreation, or a private country homesite, the acreage provides flexibility for a variety of uses. The custom home offers approximately 2,369 square feet with four bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms and has seen significant renovation and expansion. Originally built in 1987 and extensively updated in 2011, the home features a comfortable layout with quality finishes throughout. The living and dining areas showcase recently refinished hardwood floors, while a 12-foot wood ceiling adds warmth and character to the main living space. Additional updates include new carpet in all bedrooms, fresh interior paint, solid oak doors, and spacious closets, making the home truly move-in ready. A covered front porch extends the living space outdoors and provides a quiet place to take in the surrounding countryside. The property is well equipped for agricultural or equestrian use with open pasture, a barn complete with a large hayloft, and a chicken coop located near the home. Its proximity to Big River Saddle Club adds convenience for horse owners and riding enthusiasts. A separate mobile home, discreetly positioned away from the main residence, offers additional living space that could serve as guest quarters, rental income, or housing for a farmhand or caretaker. With its combination of acreage, improvements, privacy, and location, this Jefferson County property presents a hard-to-find opportunity. Large tracts with this level of usability and proximity to Highway 30 and the St. Louis region are increasingly uncommon. Whether for a private estate, working farm, equestrian setup, or recreational retreat, this property is well suited to a wide range of uses.
