Description
Nestled approximately 10 miles west of Chanute, Kansas, this updated farmhouse dates back to the late 1880s, with approximately 1,221 sq ft on the main level. Stepping inside, you'll find an inviting main level that blends comfort with practicality. The spacious kitchen, cozy living room, convenient laundry area, and primary bedroom are all located on the ground floor. Above, a cozy loft awaits, featuring an additional smaller living area as well as a non-conforming bedroom.
Step out onto the covered patio, an ideal spot for cookouts or enjoying peaceful sunsets. The view is nothing short of spectacular, stretching over picturesque fishing and hunting ponds that span the entire northern boundary of the property. These ponds are not only stocked with a variety of fish species but also serve as an essential stopover for waterfowl migrating south in the winter months. During a recent photo session, we were fortunate enough to witness hundreds of Canada Geese roosting on the pond. In addition, there are two beautifully situated fishing docks—one on each pond—perfect for an afternoon of fishing or swimming.
For those with a passion for hunting, the property has a rich history of being leased out for hunting, offering the potential for additional income. The ponds themselves, along with the surrounding land, provide a prime habitat for a variety of wildlife, making this location a true outdoor enthusiast's paradise.
On the eastern side of the property, approximately 9.5 acres of tillable ground provide an opportunity for agricultural use, further enhancing the potential for income generation. The soil, consisting of 3e Kenoma silt loam with 1-3% slopes, is fertile and well-suited for farming.
To the west of the farmhouse, you'll find a series of six storage sheds and barns, perfect for storing farming equipment and tools or indulging in your favorite hobbies. The large red barn, measuring approximately 40x50 feet, serves as a standout feature, offering ample space for various uses. Additionally, two sheds/garages, located to the north of the driveway, measure around 24x18 feet and 19x11 feet, providing even more storage options. Toward the northwest, there's a well-maintained metal shop (approximately 30x48 feet) and a sizable 60x20-foot storage shed, ideal for larger projects or equipment. Finally, a smaller 10x8-foot storage shed lies directly to the north of the home, perfect for storing smaller items.
With its combination of historic charm, natural beauty, and ample space for storage and agricultural use, this property is a rare find and an exceptional opportunity for its next owner. Whether you're looking for a peaceful retreat, a productive farm, or a blend of both, this property offers a wealth of possibilities.
