Property Description

An exceptional opportunity to own a true piece of Kansas history, 19001 South Burlingame Road offers a unique combination of agricultural heritage, substantial improvements, and versatile commercial potential just off pavement near Burlingame, Kansas. This century farm has remained in the same family for more than 100 years and is now being offered to the market for the first time in generations.

The property features a charming 3 bedroom, 1 bath farmhouse originally built in 1949. The home retains its farmstead character while offering several important updates, including a remodeled kitchen and bathroom completed around 2006. A detached two-car garage provides additional storage and parking, while mature trees and established landscaping create the classic setting you would expect from a long-standing Kansas farmstead.

The centerpiece of the property is the impressive 60'x150' steel-frame shop, constructed by American Buildings. Designed with versatility in mind, the building features approximately 900 square feet of finished office space, a full kitchen and bathroom, full utilities, and substantial electrical capacity with 400-amp, three-phase service. The shop was previously utilized for agricultural seed sales and was equipped to operate seed-mixing equipment. With this level of infrastructure, the building offers tremendous potential for agricultural operations, equipment storage, commercial use, or a variety of other business applications.

The shop is built for serious equipment, featuring 8-inch concrete floors, two industrial Ray infrared tube heaters, and 24 foot wide garage doors with ample height to accommodate semis, large farm equipment, and other oversized machinery. The scale and construction of the building make it a rare find for anyone needing substantial covered workspace and storage.

Adding even more versatility, the property has previously been configured for brooding, raising, and housing quail and pheasants, with another shop having also been fully equipped for bird housing. These improvements could provide an excellent starting point for someone looking to continue a similar operation or repurpose the existing infrastructure for another agricultural enterprise.

Outside the improvements, the property offers the open space, accessibility, and rural setting that make this location particularly appealing. With direct access from pavement and a combination of residential, agricultural, and commercial improvements, this is far more than a traditional farmhouse property.

Properties with this combination of 100+ years of family history, a well-maintained farmhouse, a massive commercial-grade shop, three-phase power, extensive concrete, oversized doors, and established agricultural infrastructure rarely come to market.

Whether you're looking for a historic family homestead, a place to operate an agricultural business, a serious equipment storage facility, or a versatile rural commercial property, 19001 South Burlingame Road deserves a close look.
