Franklin County is a heavily forested county of rolling hills, valleys, caves, and natural springs. One of the top wine-producing regions in the country, the area is known as the Missouri Rhineland after its German foundations in the late 19th century. Since the 1960s, the winemaking industry has rebounded, with lush vineyards dotting the landscape around your estate. Travel down the road to Washington, which features historic buildings, a thriving arts district, and a riverfront ideal for strolling or enjoying live music. Further afield, you can explore the caverns at Meramec State Park, hike over 750 trails in Mark Twain National Forest, or dive into the Lake of the Ozarks for summertime fun. With St. Louis only an hour's drive away, you are surrounded with a small-town country lifestyle with big city access.
