Located 8 miles north of Emporia, Kansas just 1/2 mile off of pavement sets this exceptionally maintained residence in a picturesque setting. This 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home was built in 2000, with an addition in 2002 and offers 3,032 square feet of finished living space. Walking in the door, you can feel the warmth and the feeling of home. The open floor plan flows throughout with beautiful, natural light. There is a huge kitchen with an eat-in breakfast nook and island, and a nice sized family room with a dining and living room. The master bedroom offers his and her walk-in closets and his and her bathroom sinks and cabinet areas. A sprawling recreation room provides endless opportunity to use this space as one would need. The current office area is framed with 8” concrete walls, floors, and ceiling for a storm shelter. The oversized two-car garage provides a workspace area and storage space. Out back, enjoy the most perfect patio that is ready for you to relax and watch some of the most incredible Kansas sunsets.

The 60’x28’ steel framed metal shop offers 1,680 square feet of main level space, along with 1,120 square feet of loft space. The wood furnace is duct throughout the main shop level and there is also a half bath. You can tell this space was well thought out before the building even started. RV electric and sewer hook-ups are just outside on the west side of the shop.

The land, home, and shop have all been maintained and everything has been done to a T. The mature orchard provides endless amounts of apples, pears, blackberries, and blueberries. Just make sure you get them picked before the deer do! The two greenhouses allow you to have a great place for year-round growing and starting your seeds out to transfer to the fenced-in garden area. Oh, and enjoy the asparagus patch as well! 35 of the 40 acres have been in hay production annually with Fuller Farms, giving a 1/3-2/3 crop share and are some of the cleanest pasture I have seen. The pond sits in the southwest corner of the property and has plenty of fishing days ahead with bass, carp, and channel cat. Follow the pond overflow throughout the timbered draw that is a tributary to Dow Creek and see all of the deer trails running throughout. The entire property is fully fenced with five-strand barbed wire as well, allowing one to turn out livestock if desired after the 2021 hay season.

All in all, if you are looking for a forever home on a picturesque setting that is turn-key ready inside and out, this is it and it surely won’t last long!
