37.4 Acres in Saint John, KS - $440,000

Quiet Country Ranch Near Saint John, Kansas

Located off a well-maintained county road just north of Saint John, Kansas sits this nice 3 bed, 2 bath ranch-style home with detached 3 car garage and multiple farm buildings. The house was set back off the road far enough to allow for a nice big front lawn and a nice long drive into the property. As you approach the house you can’t help but notice the raised concrete, covered front porch across the entire front of the house and can’t help but dream of morning sunrises while drinking your favorite morning beverage before you start your day. As you walk into the 1,792 square foot home, the spacious living room with cathedral ceiling and open floor plan into the dining area provides a large and comfortable yet cozy country welcome. From the dining room, you wrap around into the kitchen with tile floors and countertops and beautifully finished cabinets providing ample storage for the cook in the family. From the kitchen, you can either step out onto the big deck out back through sliding doors or move on into the combination laundry and pantry area where additional storage can be found as well as another entry point to and from the back deck. As you move down the hall, on the right you’ll find 2 bedrooms with walk-in closets separated by a nice roomy bathroom with a combination bathtub/shower for kids of all ages. Across the hall, you find the master bedroom with a walk-in closet and an oversized master bath providing plenty of space to get ready for the day.

Out back, off the large deck accented with a white vinyl fence and retractable sunshade is a nice fenced-in yard that connects you to the detached garage. In addition to providing 3 bays for your vehicles, room for storage and a workbench, there is a vehicle lift in one bay with an oversized door providing room to work on vehicles of many sizes. An external wood-burning furnace (optional) was set up to be portable in nature to allow it to be wheeled out of the way in the summer and connected to the back access doorway to warm the shop in the winter. From the garage across the farmyard, you’ll have access to a variety of buildings preserved from the previous farmstead. A small shed currently used for storage could easily be converted into a chicken coop. An old granary is currently being used for a one car garage with multiple rooms for storage that could be converted into a multi-stall livestock barn. Another 2-door garage is located behind the granary with plenty of room to store 3 or 4 vehicles. Across the yard from these buildings is an old hay barn with access from both sides currently used for storage as well. There are 3 metal grain bins on the property, 1 large one believed to be a 10,000 bushel bin with a concrete floor and bay for an auger to be connected and 2 - 1,500 bushel grain bins as well, all currently used for storage.

The established farmstead sits toward the north end of a 37.4 acre tract of land on a little over 4 timbered acres with tree belts on all but the east side. An alfalfa field was planted on approximately 4 acres on the north side of the farmstead and the remaining 30 acres to the south side of the farmstead was left in natural prairie grasses with pockets of timber in a few places. The pasture grasses are currently hayed by a local tenant. Just south of the farmstead is an approximately one-and-a-half acre pond that has been dug out and lined with bentonite. All that’s left to do is leverage the second well on the property to keep it full.
