Peace Valley pairs quiet, country living with quick access to everyday needs. Set amid rolling oak-hickory hills in Howell County, this small community sits along Route 14 between West Plains and Mountain View, with Willow Springs a short drive north. Residents appreciate gravel-road tranquility, generous acreage, and starry skies, while larger-town conveniences remain just minutes away.
Outdoors lovers find plenty to do. The surrounding Mark Twain National Forest offers miles of trails, horseback routes, and serene picnic spots, while spring and summer weekends often mean floats and hikes within the spectacular Ozark National Scenic Riverways. For day trips, the collapsed cave system at Grand Gulf State Park delivers a truly dramatic Ozarks panorama.
Families have multiple school options. Many Peace Valley addresses fall within the rural, close-knit Glenwood R-VIII School District (K–8), with older students commonly attending schools in nearby districts such as West Plains R-VII and Mountain View–Birch Tree R-III. Healthcare is anchored by regional provider Ozarks Healthcare in West Plains, offering a full-service hospital, specialty clinics, and urgent care.
Whether you’re after a hobby farm, a secluded building site in the timber, or a home close to town but away from traffic, Peace Valley provides room to breathe and an easy gateway to the Ozarks’ best recreation.
