101 Mark Twain Drive Revive an Ozarks Icon - Historic Arde's Villa Awaits Its Next Visionary Owner A rare opportunity to own a piece of Southwest Missouri's history. Originally built in the late 1920s as a destination resort and later transformed into the region's most elegant European-style restaurant, Arde's Villa is ready for its next chapter. With its rich architectural character, spacious 3+ acre grounds, and prime location only minutes from downtown Joplin and I-44, this property offers endless redevelopment potential. This is more than a property - it's a brandable landmark with built-in recognition. With the right vision and strategic updates, Arde's Villa can once again become a regional destination. Potential incentives may include state and federal historic preservation tax credits, tourism grants, and development programs (buyer to verify).
