Description
Situated among +/-61.7 acres of mature hardwood timber, rolling pasture, and three picturesque ponds, this beautiful estate represents one of the best opportunities to own an exceptional family compound in northeast Kansas. Combining remarkable craftsmanship, outstanding recreational amenities, and two beautifully appointed residences, the property offers a lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to find and nearly impossible to recreate.
The centerpiece of the estate is an impressive 5,242-square-foot custom residence designed with both elegance and functionality in mind. Warm wood finishes, soaring ceilings, expansive windows, and thoughtfully designed gathering spaces create an inviting atmosphere where everyday living and large-scale entertaining exist in perfect balance. The home features five bedrooms, four full bathrooms, two half bathrooms, a dedicated executive office, theater room, craft room, and a beautifully finished lower level complete with a second full kitchen—providing outstanding flexibility for entertaining, extended family, or long-term guests.
A beautifully constructed 1,395 square-foot second residence offers an exceptional level of versatility rarely found on properties of this caliber. Featuring two bedrooms and two full bathrooms, the home is perfectly suited for multi-generational living, guest accommodations, a caretaker, or private executive lodging, allowing family and friends to enjoy their own space while remaining connected to the estate. It also features a 1,299 square-foot attached garage for additional parking and storage on the estate.
The land is every bit as impressive as the improvements.
Nearly 50 acres of mature hardwood timber provide outstanding wildlife habitat while creating an unmatched sense of privacy and seclusion. The timber features several miles of established trails that weave throughout the property, inviting horseback riding, hiking, ATV adventures, or peaceful evening walks beneath the timber canopy. Three ponds provide exceptional fishing while serving as stunning focal points across the landscape, each contributing to the property's natural beauty and recreational appeal. A charming cabin overlooking the largest creates the perfect opportunity for quiet mornings, family gatherings, or simply enjoying the tranquility of the outdoors.
For equestrian enthusiasts, the property includes a four-stall horse barn with direct access to the trail system, while the open pasture and hay ground provide opportunities for horses, livestock, or continued agricultural use without compromising the estate's scenic character.
Located just minutes from Lawrence and within comfortable reach of the Kansas City metropolitan area, this remarkable property offers a rare balance of complete privacy and everyday convenience. Whether envisioned as a private family estate, an executive retreat, an equestrian property, or a premier recreational destination, the possibilities are limited only by imagination.
Properties of this caliber are rarely on the market. Thoughtfully developed, meticulously maintained, and designed to be enjoyed for generations, this is far more than an exceptional home. It is a legacy estate where family traditions will be created, celebrated, and carried forward for years to come.
