This historical stacked stone home built like a fortress in 1860 along Pumpkin Creek is just minutes outside Coffeyville, Kansas. This home was a true show-stopper in its day. The home was originally built by retired Civil War General Cliff Burton who after retirement went on to raise horses for United States Calvary. The home's primary structure consists of stacked (mortared) stone over 2 feet thick. Couple the stacked stone with the original red tile roof, and this home has a style all of its own. The home was entirely remodeled down to the stud walls and foundation in the late 1990s and brought the home back to its true grandeur with meticulous detail and carrying on the original stylings. The original wood floors flow through 75% of the home and 2 fireplaces, one working with a pellet insert and the other being sealed off. Totally updated kitchen and formal dining room. A master suite was added onto the downstairs at the location of the original washroom off the kitchen and there are 3 additional bedrooms upstairs with ability to have 5 if needed. Two of the bedrooms were the old outdoor sleeping rooms that have since been closed in with windows and converted to office spaces or playrooms. Off one side of the kitchen is a large screened-in porch for enjoying morning coffee while being sheltered from the elements. South of the kitchen takes you into the back porch washroom and access to the basement which houses the water heater, ducting, and access to electrical. The home sits on a higher point so no drainage issues or leaking in the basement that the sellers are aware of. Step out of the laundry room to the backyard and that puts you at the original canning cellar that also is well sealed and useable for storage and safety from severe weather. Just off the cellar is a covered gazebo/patio for outdoor entertainment in the backyard.

In addition, there are 3 other structures from the original construction still standing today and are useable as well. These include a barn with 2 loft areas, one is currently a man cave and the other is open with original stained glass windows. The lower level of the barn is a workshop area with an entry large enough to hold a large cabbed 4WD tractor. This barn is constructed of the same stacked stone and steel I-beam trusses stamped Western Steel 1886. It is believed to have been the carriage house for repairing and storing carriages of the day. The larger barn above was constructed in the 1920s after a fire took out the original building. The newer building is also free-span I-beam construction and the previous owner stored their RV in the building even with it being an elevated level. The sliding door could use a little attention but that's about all. Meander around the south side of this barn and you will come to the access of the lower level storage and again you’ll see the steel beam construction tied to the stone walls. This area was originally the milking facility of the farm. Currently used for equipment storage.

Northeast of the home is a building constructed in 1980 as a newer more modern dairy facility with slab floors, PVC paneled walls, in-floor drains, and a separate electric meter with 220 hookups. The previous owner used it as a private metal shop for machining metal projects, the current seller has it set up as a custom wood shop for hobby projects. With excellent construction, it is sure to come in handy for many types of uses.

The current owner is running a cow-calf operation on the acreage with cross-fencing and newer perimeter fencing on a large percentage of the property. The ground is made up of primarily Class 2 and 3 soils along the Pumpkin Creek bottoms. The 2 bottom fields could easily be converted back to production agriculture as both are made up of both Verdigris Silt Loam and Dennis Silt Loam soils. Production opportunities are diverse on this farm not to mention the hunting possibilities in this region. Quality Boone and Crockett caliber deer have been harvested within only a few miles of this farm and this property has had little to no hunting pressure on it for quite a few years so this could very easily be a sleeper for excellent quality deer and turkey. In addition to the big game, the seller has also installed a ramp down to Pumpkin Creek so you can access the creek with a small boat to drive the length of the property for running limb lines or pole fishing, or a good ol' swim. If you are looking for a recreational property with a home to impress along with income-producing opportunities, this is your farm. If you want to start or grow a farm or cattle operation, this farm is set up for that as well. A corral and working chute facility are in place, new within the last 8 years. The home is on rural water but there is a well with a pump in place that is great for gardening and/or watering livestock. However, with the new pond in the east pasture and a smaller creek traversing through the west pasture, a shortage of water is typically not an issue on this farm.

All this sits behind an iron gated entry that is 5 minutes from Coffeyville on Old Olive Street Road, a county blacktop road well maintained and in a wonderful safe neighborhood. As a family, the location of the home gives you several school possibilities to choose from - Coffeyville Schools, Labette County School, or even Cherryvale School districts. Always great to have options. To see this farm in person and hear the stories it tells is an experience in itself. All showings must be scheduled with proof of funds or a prequalification bank letter.
