Description
The process of finding the right kind of property for a family-type estate or recreational endeavor sometimes takes time. The current owners of this property set out on a search years ago for this type of property, and it turned out to take a long time with a patient search to find it. With a goal of relocating to the Wichita area and then finding just the right property for their family to grow and enjoy time with each other, this turned out to be a thorough process, but they eventually found it. The 77.94 acres, which is located just 10 miles SE of Douglass, was the one that became where this family found the perfect place to establish their sanctuary in the country. For the past 20 years, they have enjoyed this property to the very fullest, with fishing excursions on the lake, raising paint horses, and family barbecues and picnics that have forged lifetime memories. But now the time has come for this family to allow those memories to start with a new family, and that opportunity is here and now. With a 9-acre lake as the focal point, this property is just the right blend of outdoor lifestyle and country life enjoyment. The lake is loaded with catfish and is a highly desirable roost for traveling waterfowl in the fall. It loads up with ducks and geese and would be an excellent waterfowl hunter’s paradise. The land also has several pockets and thickets of mature timber with towering trees, including old Walnut, Catalpa, Cottonwood, and numerous other varieties of hardwoods. There are lots of deer and turkey tracks throughout the property and around the lake area where blinds and or feeders could be utilized to have outstanding hunts throughout the spring and fall. With good quality soils and plenty of small open areas, there could be some small food plots to attract even more wildlife. To complete this farm is the lodge-style metal building with simple living quarters and a small kitchen area. The main metal building is 30’X60’ and has a cement floor and is exactly what is needed for the handyman or farm enthusiast who would like to have small equipment to raise horses, livestock, hobby farm, or have a garden. There is plenty of space for tools and any type of farm equipment with power and water attached. The finished living area is approximately 415 (14’ X 29.5’) square feet, which includes a 5’X8’ bathroom. The main living area is open with a small kitchenette area, a living room area with table, chairs, a sofa, and then one set of bunk beds along with one queen bed. There is also a 14’X30’ covered patio area that is cemented and overlooks a portion of the lake, which sets to the north of the building. The land also has some historic values with a very old rock foundation, which was constructed on a small high point located in the southwest part of the farm. It is easy to see that this foundation is very old and was built here to have some ability to look out across the open plain. With a location just 40 minutes from Wichita and this list of amenities, you can see why this family jumped at the opportunity to own this property when it was presented to them 20 years ago. To see if this property is a fit for what you may be looking for, please reach out to the listing agents to schedule an in-person viewing. Please do not enter the property without an agent present, as horses are still grazing in the meadow areas. Agents, please keep gates closed at all times.
