Set on 8.29 acres in Gower, this property offers something most listings can't — a place to live and a place to work. The standout is the oversized detached shop: concrete floors, electrical service, and a dedicated wood shop already in place. Whether you're running a woodworking setup, a mechanic's or auto shop, a fabrication space, or a small side business, the bones are here and ready to go. A second outbuilding adds covered storage for an RV, boat, equipment, or overflow projects, and the open acreage leaves room for gardening, recreation, and space to spread out. Inside, the 4-bedroom, 3-bath home holds up its end. A large family room, bright sunroom, and an expansive kitchen with abundant cabinetry give you multiple living spaces, while the main-floor primary suite keeps everyday living on one level.

Priced at appraised value with no HOA, no subdivision restrictions, this is acreage you can use the way you want. You're roughly 20 minutes from St. Joseph and about 45 minutes up US-169 from Kansas City, with Smithville Lake close by for the weekends.
