This unique property is located in the rolling hills of eastern Kansas and features 36+/- acres of pasture and woods, an energy-efficient berm home, decorative fishpond and an iconic red barn that once housed Quarter-Thoroughbred horses in its stalls. In addition to three bedrooms and two baths, the home has a large, finished open studio area (28' x 25') previously used as a quilting room. The eat-in kitchen has granite countertops and appliances that remain with the home. A wood-burning fireplace in the living room will warm the home on all but the chilliest of days when you can light up the furnace fueled by propane gas. The outside entrance for the storm shelter is located immediately adjacent to the garage. The iconic red barn is served by water and electricity and has room for up to 5 stalls with a tack room and overhead doors for farm equipment. Established gardens, mature fruit trees and bountiful wildlife will allow for a self-sufficient lifestyle, or you can take a short drive into Auburn or Topeka for grocery store conveniences. Cultivate the fields for your livestock or rent them out for additional income. Create your own paradise on a dead end, publicly maintained road off the beaten path where the sounds of nature will drown out the noise of the city as you create your own rustic paradise. This wonderful setting is perfect for raising a family or enjoying a quiet retirement.
