Country Living Outside Of LaCrosse, Kansas

While driving through the quiet town of LaCrosse, Kansas, head north one mile, and you will notice this beautiful country-style setup just on the west side of HWY-183. Before we get started diving into everything this farm has to offer, here is a quick list of the attributes that are present. 3-level home totally rebuilt in 2011, massive barn/shop with double door entrances, open front shop with livestock facilities and equipment storage for days, mower shed, 18 acres of fenced pasture with city water taps, detached garage, beautiful covered deck. Twenty-two miles from Hays and 35 miles from Great Bend.

“Home”

The home consists of 3 levels totaling over 3,100 square feet of living space. This home was totally rebuilt in 2011 with all custom woodworking and craftsmanship throughout. 6 bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths make this place ideal for raising several kids or hosting guests and family during the holidays. The spacious kitchen area comes supplied with stainless steel whirlpool appliances that will be included with the sale (Refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, Maytag stove). The kitchen also has a half bath attached when you first enter. The dining room has a very open concept accommodating a full house of people at one time. The master bedroom sits on the main floor with a full bath attached and large closet area. Heading downstairs you will notice the custom wide staircase with metal ascent railing and lights. The basement has 2 bedrooms and full bath. Laundry room and mechanical room sit just off the bathroom. A beautiful liquor bar is the highlight of the basement. Equipped with a built in sink, custom foot railing and cow hide seats. This bar has hosted lots of late night gatherings over the years. Moving upstairs you will find another full bath and 2 nice bedrooms for kids. The view out the window of the upstairs is second to none. Each bedroom has storage areas that are similar to closet storage with oak doors. The home has a very open deck area that’s fully covered, perfect for grilling and hot tub area. City water supplies the house and septic system with lateral lines exist north of the home.

“Barn/Shop”

Built in 2012 the shop has everything you will need while living on the farm. It’s divided into 3 separate bays. The main shop bay with concrete flooring and electric door is a massive 48x32. Bathroom and sink are also a huge plus. Infrared tube heater keeps the shop a perfect temperature while working during the colder months. Air compressor with plastic air lines and tire machine are included as well. A staircase takes you up to a loft above the shop perfect for storage. The north portion of the shop is a barn area with double doors. 48x16 is the dimension of this portion and leads out to the pasture to the west. If your a horse person this setup will be ideal, gates corrals lead into the back end of the barn creating a walk through for the live stock and shelter area. Richie waterers also exist within the corral area. The south portion of the shop is a 36x12 area with separate sliding door and concrete floor. This area hosts the tire machine and air compressor. A lien on the backside of the shop of 30x16 also keeps equipment and such out of the weather.

“Open Front Shed”

North of the main shop you will find a massive open front shed that has been used for vehicle and equipment storage mainly. The west portion of the open front also has built in corrals for the live stock to use keeping them out of the sun and weather. This shed is approximately 144x32. Electric is there with water hydrants as well. Camper and RV storage is ideal as well as tractor and trailer. Keep in mind if you’re looking for extra income you can easily rent out some of these bays within the open front shed.

“Land”

Approximately 18-acres of fenced grassland with great perimeter fences and cross fencing. Steel corrals and gates will keep all live stock secured and separated if desired. City water has been supplied to the pasture.

The corral system will take the livestock straight into the barn and open shed area if they need shelter or loading. Loading chute sits right off the barn area dropping into the pasture. Mineral rights are included with the land. No current leases exist and possession will be immediate.

“Garage and Mower Shed”

A nice detached garage is located right off the main driveway coming into the property. The garage also has some storage space and work area if desired. A metal sided mower shed sits to the north of the garage keeping the riding lawn mower and yard equipment separated and sheltered. A nice mower is a must on this farm considering the beautiful big yard around the home area.

I can’t think of a more ideal property for a family looking to move into the country but still be a hop skip and jump from all the amenities from town. If you have or want livestock this place screams horse property.
