About this property

Historic Farmhouse with new upscale interior

The Homestead Farmhouse was built by Alonzo and Ersie Spencer. They raised a family with six children in this home that was built during the depression using lumber taken from trees on the property. Through the years it has been modernized. I am the their granddaughter and I used it for an art studio and gallery until the summer of 2015. I totally remodeled and updated the interior. There is a large new kitchen, 2 bedrooms and a bathroom with a shower featuring handprinted tiles. There is energy efficient heating and cooling. There is a wonderful large porch on the front. A remnant of early times, the root cellar is in back of the house. The smoke house is no longer standing. There are two ponds on the property and a wooded 40 acres to explore. The Homestead has the added convenience of not being on a dirt road. For this reason it is perfect for motorcycles. The location is about half way between Jasper and Ponca. It is close to Buffalo river access and hiking trails.

Location was good for our hikes we went on. Place is rustic but was good for a couple of days. The owner was fantastic to work with

Comfortable and Serene
A lovely place, comfortably appointed with great hiking nearby. Don't miss the hike to nearby Triple Falls and Hammerschmidt Trail. Loved the ponds on the property, the dining room table, the porch. Because of the table I think it would make an awesome, affordable place for 2 couples (who don't mind one bathroom and twin beds in one of the bedrooms ... I wouldn't mind that at all)

About the host

Hosted by Merlyn Lazorow

Host profile image
I am a retired art and design teacher. I divide my time between Kansas City and Arkansas.

Why they chose this property

This property is dear to my heart because it has been in my family for 4 generations. When times were hard most of the people of this area left in the early 1950's to find work in cities primary Kansas City. I was raised there but never lost my feeling of home that this farmhouse represents to me. I think you too will enjoy the warmth of this old farmhouse with modern conveniences.

What makes this property unique

The Homestead is in an ideal location. It is just 5 miles from Jasper and very close to river access at Kyles landing.
