460 Highway Dd, Defiance, MO 63341

Set on 3.05 private wooded acres, this custom atrium ranch lands in the sweet spot between the St. Louis and St. Charles corridors and Missouri wine country, an easy drive either direction. Inside and out, it offers what buyers rarely find: room to spread out, work, and entertain without compromise. The garage space here is genuinely rare. An attached oversized 3-car handles everyday vehicles with direct access to the home, and a separate detached oversized 2-car adds a dedicated workshop. That is five-plus garage parking spaces total, plus a true work area for projects, equipment, and storage, with no HOA. Inside, hardwood floors run throughout the main level beneath vaulted and coffered ceilings, custom millwork, and arched openings. The great room opens up with a wall of windows facing the woods, a gas fireplace, and an open staircase to the lower level. The kitchen has light wood cabinetry, granite counters, a custom tile backsplash, stainless appliances, a center island, and a pantry. A bay-windowed breakfast area opens to the deck in back. A separate formal dining room handles the holidays. Main-floor living anchors the home with a private primary suite featuring a coffered ceiling, crown molding, a walkout to the deck, and a luxury bath with dual vanities, a jetted tub, and a separate shower. A second main-level bedroom, a full bath, and a convenient main-floor laundry round out single-level ease. The deep-pour walkout lower level lives like a second home. A family room with a striking floor-to-ceiling gas stone fireplace, a rec area with space for the pool table, a full wet bar with wine cooler, a dedicated exercise room, two additional bedrooms, and a full bath all open to the trees through a private walkout, ideal for guests, extended family, or weekend entertaining. Outside, the lifestyle continues across an expansive multi-level deck, a screened porch, and a shaded under-deck patio, all overlooking a level, usable lawn wrapped in mature woods. Pre-wired for speakers throughout. Zoned for sought-after Francis Howell schools and Daniel Boone Elementary, minutes from the Katy Trail, Augusta, and the wineries, with an easy commute to the St. Charles and Chesterfield corridors. Privacy, space, and main-floor living, all on a rare wooded acreage. NEW ROOF (2025) This is the one you have been waiting for, schedule your tour today.
