Masterfully designed around it's own environment, this uniquely built home is a celebrated property in Springfield, Missouri. Designed by the late Don Russell, this estate is nothing short of spectacular! The detail in this home is beyond what one can dream. The custom front doors sourced from Goa, India are circa 1820s. Pay close attention to the wood floors! There are over 550,000 mosaic pieces carefully assembled out of oak, walnut, and ebony including the 20,000 piece crocodile designed by Archetypal. The kitchen overlooks the spring-fed pond that runs throughout the property year round. The kitchen counter is made of 4 inch thick Carthage stone. Off the kitchen is a wine cellar with antique doors. The family room nothing short of amazing.
Embodied within the earth's natural rock and built into the bluff is a custom full size copper hot tub! Every room was designed to enjoy the views of the gardens and water. The floors in the additional rooms are teak wood strips, taken from a 1750s building in Indonesia. The master bedroom and sitting area showcase a 260 gallon salt water aquarium. The master bathroom sinks are made from 1,000 year old petrified wood. The rock floor is heated. There is a balcony off the second bedroom as well has a full bath.
