Legacy Log Home — Crafted for Timeless Family Memories $614,950

Lake Home For Sale near Truman Lake

Imagine a place where the chaos of the city fades into the whisper of wind through pines, where morning coffee is shared on a broad log porch while deer graze along the edge of the woods, and where laughter from your grandchildren echoes across the lake long after sunset.
Welcome to your Truman Lake Legacy Lodge — a one-of-a-kind log masterpiece that blends the rustic grandeur of a Top of the Rock–style retreat with the warmth, comfort, and craftsmanship of a true family haven.
Built in 2010 and lovingly maintained, this property is far more than a lake home — it’s a destination designed to bring generations together. Whether you’re gathering for summer adventures, Thanksgiving weekends, or simply the joy of quiet mornings spent reconnecting with nature, this home is ready to deliver the experiences you’ve always dreamed of creating.

LOCATION: Truman Lake — A Peaceful Jewel in the Ozarks
Set near Warsaw, Missouri, in the friendly and established community of Red Bud South, this property offers access to one of the Midwest’s most naturally preserved lakes. Unlike the bustling, commercialized feel of the Lake of the Ozarks or Table Rock Lake, Truman Lake is a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reservoir, meaning no private docks and no lakeside overdevelopment.
That single fact preserves what truly makes this area special: the serenity, wildlife, and unspoiled natural beauty that’s increasingly rare. You’ll find bald eagles, wild turkey, and deer sharing your surroundings, and a peaceful quiet that turns every evening on the porch into a front-row seat for nature’s show.
Just down the street is a neighborhood boat ramp, and Long Shoal Marina — a full-service marina — is only moments away. With wide-open water for boating and fishing, plus easy access to trails for ATVs, hiking, and hunting, this area is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts who value privacy, authenticity, and quality of life.

THE HOME: Handcrafted Warmth, Modern Comfort, and Rustic Elegance
From the moment you arrive, the home’s curb appeal commands admiration. Built entirely from rich, natural logs with a roof of asphalt-covered metal shingles, the structure exudes both strength and character. The four-step stone staircase rises to a spacious covered porch that spans the front of the home — a perfect place for rocking chairs, morning stories, and evening wine as the sun dips beyond the treeline.
Step inside, and you’re greeted by an atmosphere that can only be described as Johnny Morris meets family tradition. Every detail reflects a passion for craftsmanship and a respect for materials with history.
Reclaimed barn wood and authentic stonework set the tone for a lodge-style aesthetic that feels both grand and inviting. The massive stone fireplace anchors the living room — a commanding centerpiece that instantly draws you in and reminds you this is a home built for togetherness.
High, vaulted ceilings with exposed beams lend a sense of scale, while warm wood tones, natural textures, and subtle lighting create a sense of calm that only grows deeper the longer you stay.

INTERIOR LAYOUT: Designed for Comfort and Connection
The main level features a primary master suite with an en-suite bath — a peaceful retreat offering privacy and convenience.
Upstairs, a spacious loft area with two beds provides both sleeping flexibility and a cozy, open feeling perfect for grandchildren or guests who love to wake up to the glow of a morning sunrise through the log-framed windows.
The walk-out basement adds even more functional space, with two non-conforming bedrooms and a full bath featuring a double-sink vanity — ideal for accommodating multiple guests.
Altogether, the home comfortably sleeps 10 or more, making it a natural gathering place for family reunions, holiday celebrations, or extended weekends where everyone feels at home.

DETAILS THAT INSPIRE: Rustic Character Meets Refined Comfort
Every corner of this home tells a story. The guest bathroom is a work of art in itself, featuring reclaimed barnwood accents and a rusted tin roof paneling that delivers a one-of-a-kind lodge experience.
The kitchen and dining area are both functional and social, with handcrafted cabinetry and sliding glass doors that open to a coffee deck, inviting you to enjoy your morning brew surrounded by fresh air and lake views.
This home is fully furnished and turnkey, allowing you to start enjoying lake life immediately. From the furniture to the décor, everything has been carefully chosen to complement the home’s natural palette and architectural style.

GARAGES & STORAGE: For the Collector, Hobbyist, and Adventurer
If you have a boat, ATV, or classic car collection, this property was made for you.
In addition to a detached two-car log garage that matches the home’s aesthetic, there’s an impressive 30' x 50' garage structure featuring a dedicated workman’s tool area, high ceilings, and ample room for multiple vehicles, trailers, or lake toys.
Beneath each garage, additional storage rooms offer even more secure space for equipment, seasonal décor, or recreational gear — ensuring everything has its place.

OUTDOOR LIVING: Where Memories Take Root
What truly sets this home apart is its relationship with the outdoors. Set on two adjoining lots, the property offers room to expand your vision — whether that means adding a fire pit area, building a gazebo, or simply enjoying more space between you and neighboring homes.
The front porch is ideal for quiet reflection or long conversations, while the coffee deck off the dining room provides a private nook to watch the sunrise or listen to the rain.
The surrounding neighborhood, Red Bud South, is made up of roughly 125 homes, where neighbors are known to wave, lend a hand, and look out for one another. It’s the kind of place where friendships form easily, and community still means something.

THE EXPERIENCE: A Place to Share, Laugh, and Belong
For the buyer seeking more than just a property — for someone looking for a family legacy — this home delivers in every way.
Picture it:
Your grandkids catching their first fish off the marina docks.

Evenings spent telling stories by the fire, marshmallows roasting as the stars begin to shimmer overhead.

Early-morning hikes followed by afternoon boat rides, and lazy Sunday breakfasts where everyone’s still in pajamas.

A home where holidays become annual traditions, and family bonds grow stronger year after year.

This is not a house you simply own. It’s a destination that defines your family’s story — a place where you can invest not just your resources, but your heart.
