Description
It’s rare to find this kind of privacy, space, and natural setting in West County—especially on nearly 4 acres in the Wildwood area.
Tucked into a peaceful, wooded landscape, this property offers a setting that feels like a retreat while still being close to everyday conveniences. From the moment you step inside, natural light fills the home through skylights and expansive windows, including a stunning picture window that frames the surrounding trees and brings the outdoors in.
The main living spaces are designed to feel open, bright, and connected to the landscape, creating a calm and inviting atmosphere throughout. The kitchen offers both functionality and flow for everyday living and entertaining, while the primary suite provides a spa-like escape with serene views and a sense of privacy that’s hard to find.
What truly sets this property apart is the land. Nearly four acres of wooded surroundings create space to relax, explore, and enjoy a level of privacy that’s increasingly difficult to find in this area. Whether you're looking for room to spread out, a peaceful environment, or a property with long-term potential, this setting delivers.
Recent price improvement presents an opportunity for buyers looking to secure a unique property in a highly sought-after location.
Ideal for buyers who value space, privacy, and a setting that feels removed—without sacrificing access to West County amenities.
Homes offering acreage, privacy, natural views, and a convenient Wildwood location rarely come available. This property delivers the perfect balance of peaceful living and accessibility.

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageCongratulations to the teachers, coaches, administrators, school board, and attorneys of Eureka High School! You actually taught my nephew an important lesson in life.Of course, that lesson is the system is rigged against you, even a teenager when government and one of its agencies is challenged. You lack caring for your students, and an event that would have doomed any private property owner, you manage to get away with funded by tax dollars to pay for your Harvard attorney. My nephew who was injured by an unsafe activity within your gym class . All of you worked together to crush this young teenager—someone you told for their entire time at Eureka High School you cared about as you sold your rhetoric that you are shaping their futures for the positive. The injuries suffered under the instruction of your coaches has been life changing and long term.Well, since that day on your campus, it’s not been positive. And there you are hiding behind government sovereign immunity laws to protect you from your carelessness. Yup, he learned a valuable lesson of how the system is rigged against the average system and the government always wins. He will never forget this lesson as the leaches who confiscate the fruits of his labor for the rest of the life go to fund the system you hide behind over your carelessness and support your schools and schools like it.I can’t wait to file a Sunshine Law request to find out how much you paid your big city Harvard attorney while my nephew suffered medical procedure after medical procedure. It should be fascinating to learn how much of the taxpayers dollars were taken to protect your government-run agency in order to escape being held responsible.I sure wouldn’t recommend your high school to anyone, let alone take seriously that you actually care for your student’s futures. Parents trust your school daily that there kids will go, be safe, and learn at your institution. Clearly, I would never place any of my own kids in your care.Parent Review2y ago - Ridge Meadows Elementary School

I am incredibly impressed with all of the staff and the wonderful parents. The PTO is very involved and has been incredibly welcoming to our family. We are very happy at this school.Parent Review11y ago
