Tucked away on nine serene acres, Vallevue offers a rare architectural legacy that begins with its remarkable guest house—featuring an addition designed in the style of William Bernoudy, apprentice to Frank Lloyd Wright. With two bathrooms, a fireplace, and a single-car garage, this separate residence functions beautifully as an office, private suite, or meeting space, reflecting Bernoudy’s timeless influence and connection to nature.
Beyond the guest house, the nearly 9,000-square-foot main residence blends enduring craftsmanship with modern comfort. Crafted with 22 tons of oak timber joined by wooden pegs—a feat nearly impossible to replicate today—the home is a true work of art designed to last for generations. Inside, seven bedrooms, six full bathrooms, and a half bath offer ample space for family and guests. Thoughtful gathering rooms, three fireplaces, and a flowing kitchen form the heart of the home, creating a balance of grandeur and warmth.
The walk-out lower level provides a complete living area of its own, with a full kitchen, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and generous spaces for entertaining, exercise, games, or wine tasting in your private cellar. A walk-in safe adds yet another touch of distinction.
Outdoors, Vallevue continues to captivate with eight acres of fenced pasture, a horse barn, and abundant wildlife. From the home’s many windows and decks, it’s common to see deer and wild turkey wandering the landscape, heightening the sense of peace and privacy.
Vallevue is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle of sophistication and seclusion, offered in one of St. Louis’s most desirable settings.
