Property Description
Located one mile south of the I-70 and K-18 intersection, 15 minutes to Manhattan, 10 minutes to Junction City, and 5 minutes to Fort Riley creates the perfect location. This scenic 88 +/- acre property offers the perfect mix of country living, recreation, and agricultural opportunity while still being within easy access to multiple communities.The land features 25 +/- acres of well-maintained woods (mature oak, walnut, and hickory) with the remainder in native grasses and wildflowers that could be easily converted to hay ground or grazing. Good fencing on most of the property would create an easy transition for adding livestock. Superb habitat management and working hand in hand with Wildlife Habitat Improvement, Habitat First, Monarch Butterfly Habitat, and the American Tree Farm program has created a postcard property. The aerated pond has plenty of fish to include some 5-pound catfish. The wildlife habitat is exceptional, with lots of whitetail deer, turkey, and quail seen daily on the property.
The centerpiece is a spacious 4,300 square foot home offering four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and an office. Built by the same builder of many homes in and around Colbert Hills Golf Course, the home was built to quality. With ample space throughout the home, there is more than enough space for a large family and entertaining. An open kitchen features a central island, a hidden 16’x5’ pantry, a breakfast nook surrounded by windows, and is adjacent to a brand new screened-in deck with unbelievable views. The kitchen flows into a large living room, a cozy fireplace, and a back wall of windows that offers a view you will never grow tired of. A main-floor master suite includes a walk-in closet, an ensuite bath, a vaulted ceiling, and access to a private back patio; an ideal spot to enjoy quiet mornings or sunrises. Upstairs, there's one more bedroom and an additional full bathroom.
The mostly finished basement has two spacious bedrooms, an office, a large family room, and an entertainment room. Additional square footage under the three-car garage adds even more usable space as a huge tornado shelter, in-home gym, and a secure walk-in storage area. A basement garage room with a garage door that opens to the outside is a fantastic area to have your smoker and grill protected from the elements while easily moving them outside.
Outside, you’ll find a 30'x40' shop with concrete floors, electricity, and a remote-controlled garage door. Multiple outdoor walking/sitting areas, including a patioed fire-pit area, playground with tree house, and two zip-lines, make it easy to enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
Whether you’re looking for a full-time residence, a wildlife getaway, or a mixed-use farm, this property is the total package. It's not every day that an absolutely stunning, well-cared-for, award-winning, completely turn-key property hits the market.
