The custom log-cabin style home was created with a vision of overlooking the ranch and positioned to catch every sunrise and sunset. Cut from logs imported from Colorado, the home boasts 3 bedrooms with 2 additional non-conforming bedrooms and 4 full bathrooms, and 1 half bathroom with 5,105 square feet of finished living space trimmed out in the finest fashion. The sprawling living room showcases a massive limestone fireplace, vaulted ceilings, a half bathroom, and 2 sets of french style doors that lead out to the screened-in back porch. The kitchen provides endless cabinets and solid surface countertops with a wrap-around bar area and an eat-in breakfast nook. The mudroom area just off the breakfast nook is perfectly placed coming in from the back side of the home. The main floor laundry room is located just off the kitchen with a sink, upper cabinets, closet space, and a side exterior entrance door. The master bedroom is located on the west end of the home just off of the living room and provides ideal space with a beautiful fireplace built with limestone, his and her walk-in closets, limestone headboard accent wall, and a full bathroom with double sink vanity. French doors lead from the master into the adjoining office that is complete with custom built-in cabinetry and a fireplace made with imported river rock. Up the hand-cut staircase to the landing that overlooks the living room, the 2 bedrooms are located, both spacious with private full bathrooms and a walk-in closet. Downstairs to the fully finished walkout basement, take notice of the continued craftsmanship throughout. The open floor plan provides a family room and recreation room entertainment space with 2 non-conforming bedrooms just off the main area and a full bathroom. The main utility room holds additional laundry hookups, advanced filtration, and softening well water system, along with an impressive concrete gun vault with a Fort Knox keypad entry door. An additional storage room just off the main storage room offers a workshop area and houses 1 of the 2 newly replaced HVAC units. The garage area with an automatic overhead door offers additional storage space and parking space. The central vac system and second HVAC are located in the garage as well. Outside enjoy the never-ending views in each direction, whether on the front porch or back deck, with full-lengths, the views never stay the same!
Heading to the barn, take notice of the endless pipe fencing and double swing gate entrances throughout. The entire setup was exceptionally thought out from the loading area to turnout pens, corral, and barn setup. The barn is made up of 4 enclosed horse stalls spacious for singles and large enough for foaling with exterior turnouts. The dog kennel area was originally set for upland game dogs just off horse stalls. The overhead hay loft provides endless storage and is accessible with ease to the stalls. The pull-through bay with 2 overhead doors allows one to load and unload with ease and is set up for the equestrian enthusiast at heart. Additional garage and implement storage space with additional shop space.
53 +/- acres of the 60 +/- acres are pristine native bluestem grass and are as well preserved as one will ever see with gently rolling hillsides and valleys that overlook a 22-acre lake and are wrapped in endless open-range grasslands. There are several ideal locations to build a second pond. Springtime on the ranch is a truly special time and a thing of beauty with the annual range burn. With spectators and world-renowned photographers traveling to the area just to catch a glimpse of a practice of stewardship that has gone back hundreds of years, you will have the best seat in the Flint Hills to take the full scope of what these majestic rolling hills hold bringing the dormant grass to lush and green healthy stand ready to turn out spring cattle.
Whether a forever home or secondary retreat property, from a top-end custom home with no expense spared to a well-rounded barn and pen area to some of the most beautiful county one has ever laid eyes on, this impressive property is a once in a lifetime and is one to tour in person to take in and appreciate all it has to offer!
