Improvements

THE MAIN HOME: This log cabin was built and has been maintained as one the premier properties in southeast Kansas. The exterior features a wonderful combination of pine logs and expertly laid Kansas limestone pillars and retaining walls. As you pull up to the circle drive at the front of the cabin you quickly get a sense of the craftsmanship and precise vision that went into the construction of this home. Immediately upon entering the front door, you are engulfed in the classic white pine from floors to ceiling, including the large beams used to frame out the northern wall of windows and french doors leading to the full-length deck and overlooking the pond. Rustic pine floors run throughout the living space and provide a cozy atmosphere around the built-in gas fireplace. The open concept leads directly to the granite island in the kitchen and the dining area.

Just off of the kitchen is the first of the two large master suites, complete with natural light emanating from the windows and a large bath area that includes double vanities and the laundry. This suite also has plenty of closet space and the feel of a mountain retreat.

The staircase from the main floor living area to the loft above is finished with locally handcrafted metal balusters leading to a loft that could be used as a spare bedroom, office or reading room. It has it’s own closet and full bath with granite countertops. Whether looking down upon the interior of the cabin, or looking out any of the windows, the elevated view from this loft is stunning.

The basement is home to the second master suite, with a french door set that leads to a peaceful, covered patio area. The oversized bathroom has separate his and her vanities. Proving the high level of privacy one is afforded, this bath area also has a wall of northern facing windows overlooking the patio and pond. The basement is also home to a secure, safe room and 12-inch, concrete reinforced walls for storm protection. The property is further secured by an emergency, automatic, whole home generator to provide peace of mind.

SECONDARY HOME & SHOP: There is an apartment built into half of the metal building that sits just to the east of the Main Cabin. Tastefully decorated and wonderfully designed, this secondary home was built in 2021 and sets up like a full apartment, complete with a bedroom, full bathroom, full kitchen and laundry, perfect for extended family or guests. This apartment could allow for someone to live completely self-sufficiently and separate from the main cabin.

A western exposure covered patio on the exterior of the apartment is the perfect place to enjoy a cup of morning coffee. Walking through the front door you are immediately taken by the clean lines and economical architecture and great use of space. A fireplace anchors the living space and provides a calm, comforting feeling. The third master suite on the property features a walk-in tub. There is a loft above that is could be used as a game room, office or another sleeping area. Another bathroom and climate-controlled 12’x15 bonus room in the loft has been roughed-in with electrical and plumbing, and could easily be finished out or left as it sits and used as storage.

The remaining open area of the building provides room for additional parking, storage or shop activities. The shop area is climate controlled and features a large, oversized overhead door, allowing for RV parking or tractor parking.

METAL OUTBUILDING: This new 40’x60 metal outbuilding was only recently constructed and is built to hold and protect all of your toys and equipment. There are two large overhead doors and the building is finished with a concrete floor.
