Other Details to Note
The sunset from the dock is well-worth the hike, but please know that it is a moderate downhill natural path hike. Trickier spots have stairs but the waterfront is only accessible via the path through the woods. Our home is now 27 years old and every year we tackle a new project. In 2018, that was a new roof. In 2019, a new heating/air unit. And our focus in 2025 is to refresh the exterior siding and do some landscaping. Please note that our home is in the WOODS on a LAKE in the OZARKS. Dirt paths weave throughout the 8+ acres but if you're looking for a manicured arboretum, please keep looking. However, if you're up for some hiking, love the outdoors, and aren't bugged by bugs, you'll really enjoy exploring Rivendell's acreage! There's 7 park benches to discover, a creek bed to explore, and in the spring there's a little waterfall to find.
