Property Description

Known as the African Queen, this extraordinary 1962 Don Russell designed residence is an architectural icon tucked into Springfield's coveted Brentwood area. Russell's distinctive homes are celebrated for their relationship with the natural landscape and remarkable craftsmanship. The African Queen, as it stands today, has become one of the Ozarks' most recognizable and unforgettable residences.Set amid 4 acres of water and lush grounds, the approximately 3,300 square foot home was designed to become part of its surroundings. Monumental 1820s doors sourced from Goa, India open to an intricate wood mosaic floor created by New York City's Archetypal, composed of approximately 550,000 pieces of oak, walnut and ebony, including a remarkable 20,000 piece crocodile. Reclaimed 18th century Indonesian teak, light fixtures crafted with ostrich eggs and gemsbok horns, four inch Carthage stone countertops and extraordinary custom craftsmanship continue throughout.Living spaces embrace views of the water and gardens. A wood burning fireplace incorporates an indoor grill, while a two inch thick glass floor looks directly into the spring fed water beneath the home. Built into the natural rock, the Bluff Room features a spectacular custom copper hot tub.The primary suite offers two balconies, fireplace, sitting area and 260 gallon aquarium. Its bath features sinks crafted from 1,000 year old petrified wood and an oversized walk in shower, while the guest bath features a hammered copper soaking tub.Outside, spring fed ponds, a creek, waterfalls and mature gardens create a private sanctuary. A 15 foot Zulu Warrior sculpture by Tom Ehlers and James Hall stands watch from its island amid abundant wildlife, including a family of otters currently calling the property home.Currently operating as a licensed and profiting short term rental, the African Queen offers a rare opportunity as a private residence, established luxury hospitality destination or a healing nature retreat
