Lake Timberline, MO

Lake Timberline is a quiet, gated community tucked into the rolling woods of northern St. Francois County. Located about six miles north of Bonne Terre along U.S. Route 67, it provides a peaceful rural setting with an easy commute into the greater St. Louis area. Home to around 700 residents, the area offers a relaxed, close-knit neighborhood vibe surrounded by scenic forest.

Outdoor living is the main draw here, with more than ten lakes and ponds scattered throughout the hills. Residents spend their time fishing, kayaking, relaxing at the sandy swimming beaches, and gathering at the community lodge and local pub. Quiet roads wind between heavily wooded properties, creating a secluded, cabin-in-the-woods feel that works well for full-time homeowners and weekend getaways alike.
