11190 158th Rd. , Mayetta, KS 66509(Jackson County)

This is your chance to own a one-of-a-kind, off-the-grid home with plenty of room to roam. Located in Jackson County, Kansas four miles west of Mayetta sits this gem of a property that was featured on the television show “House Hunters - Off the Grid,” and had a book written about the construction on Amazon called, “The Tao of Cob: How a Kansas Grandmother Built Her Own Natural Home in the Woods.” The unique property sits on 30.67 +/- acres of quality Kansas soil with tons of space for hunting, grazing, and recreation. The 1,739 square foot home was constructed in a process of mixing cob, mud, sand, clay, and straw continually stacked to create the walls and rooms of this unique home. The mixture is then dried and a “stain/glaze” is added to set and add color. The home features a full kitchen, electric stove, refrigerator, internet, jetted tub and shower, loft for sleeping, propane heater, rural water, water softener, hot water heater with expansion tank, energy efficient washer, and solar power collected through solar panels. The second building boasts more square footage and was created by mixing straw, sand, mud, and clay, it also features a full basement with a newly updated sump pump. The building is a blank canvas for the new owner and could be turned into additional bedrooms, a living room, or an entertaining space. A small 12’x16’ storage utility building stores the deep cycle marine batteries that hold a charge from the large solar panels and send power to the structures. The property will include a small low-hour tractor with a brush hog and two outdoor hydrants for all your watering needs. The massive untouched hardwood timber holds tons of wildlife from deer, turkey, quail, and other small game. There are two small ponds on the property, one of which was stocked a number of years ago. The mix of timber and native grass leaves plenty of room for grazing animals and additional room to build. The location leaves you 10 miles from Holton, 25 miles to Topeka, and an hour from Wamego. This one-of-a-kind property is sure to go quick, and is one you do not want to miss out on taking a look at!
