Description
You'll love this little" shouse" on the prairie in Ellis County, Kansas.
Located just 7 miles west of Hays, this property is situated in a stunningly scenic valley and has everything you need for a peaceful getaway outside of the city limits! The 60 x 40 custom metal building features incredible living space—840 sq feet on two levels, including a kitchen, dining room, ½ bath, and living room on the main level; 2 bedrooms and 1 full bath upstairs; and another 3rd bedroom framed up and under construction in the garage area. That's not all: there's also a 20 x 40 carport on the east side, plus multiple small storage buildings at the farmstead for additional storage of equipment, tools, farm supplies, etc. (including a chicken coop).
There is 1980 sq feet of amazing garage space within the building with tall overhead doors at both ends, offering plenty of space for storing nearly anything you could possibly wish to enjoy while at the farm – while also offering incredible workshop space. An awning extends over the patio area at the NW corner providing an incredible spot to watch the Western Kansas sunset over the rolling hilltops.
The farmstead features a ¼ acre pond site north of the main building, with dozens of trees planted at the farmstead over the past few years. There are several water hydrants throughout the farm, strategically placed for watering cattle as well as watering the spread of new trees planted on the property. There is an all weather rock driveway leading to the metal building and providing good access to the land.
If you are one for enjoying the great outdoors, the hunting along the spring fed creek bottom and alfalfa fields on this property is exceptional. Wildlife are abundant throughout this area, including whitetail deer, turkey, and upland birds. The water throughout the creek bottom will also be a draw for waterfowl. The tillable acres west of the creek has been planted to alfalfa and is a magnet for deer and turkeys while also generating good income. The nearly 17 acres of cropland on the east side of the creek is commonly planted to feed. The 20 acres east of the shouse is fully fenced grassland with water provided from the recently drilled water well by the creek. The fencing is in great condition and is complimented well with new gates.
This farm is also a top-notch destination for the horse enthusiast, with several acres of good grass, feed, and multiple water sources. What a dream this site could be as a horseback riding hobby farm.
This secluded and scenic farmstead and acreage is a dream come true for the buyer motivated to find a permanent home site or hobby farm with great seclusion – but within a reasonable distance of civilization.
