Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of St. Louis history. #1 Crag Knob was built on 10.58 acres of the original Edwin Lemp Estate known as "Cragwold". In 1911 Edwin Lemp found 140 country acres on the bluffs overlooking the Meramec River as the site upon which he constructed "Cragwold". Edwin Lemp was one of several German beer barons whose family operated the Lemp Brewery in South County prior to Prohibition. The Lemp and Busch breweries rose to the top of the industry, making these families among the wealthiest in St. Louis.

The home is situated on the bluffs overlooking the bend in the Meramec River. Big Bend Boulevard was named after this portion of the Meramec River. You will enjoy all 4 seasons with panaromic views from this home of windows. Imagine waking every morning with views of the Meramec River Valley and retiring at night watching breathtaking sunsets.
