About this property

76.71± Acres - Private Lake Retreat & Recreational Estate Jefferson County, Kansas Own your own lake! Properties like this don't come around often! A stocked 10.7-acre private lake, three separate outbuildings including a full horse setup, wooded hillsides and hay ground, abundant wildlife, and a comfortable home overlooking it all, sitting at the end of a dead-end road in Jefferson County. This is a rare, turn-key combination of recreation, equestrian-ready infrastructure, and privacy, all on one 76.71-acre tract. The Home: Built in 1987, this earth-contact home offers 1,208 square feet of open-concept living at the end of 126th St, overlooking the lake. 2 bedrooms and 1.5 bath. Open concept living/kitchen area. Newer appliances, washer and dryer all included. Wood burning fire place. Large pantry. 2-car garage with an attached butler's kitchen and loft above. Generac whole-house generator for backup power. The Lake: A 10.7-acre lake anchors the property, holding large bass, crappie, and catfish for anglers who want serious water without leaving home. A screened gazebo sits right on the lake, perfect for evening fishing, morning coffee, or watching the sun go down over the water. A dedicated pump house draws from the lake to irrigate the garden and yard. The Hunting & Wildlife: Deer, waterfowl, turkey, and quail are all abundant on the property, making this a genuine multi-species hunting tract as well as a working farm making it a rare setup where recreation and agriculture share the same ground. The Land: The acreage is a mix of brome pasture/hay meadow and wooded hillsides, cross-fenced and ready for horses or livestock. Infrastructure is already in place for horses, with a horse barn, tack room, and automatic waterer. 3 additional ponds located across the property. Three Outbuildings: Few properties come with this much covered space already in place, all wired with power and ready to use!! Horse Barn: A huge plus for horse owners, complete with a tack room and automatic waterer, this barn means the work of setting up for horses is already done for you. Large Shop: Partially heated and cooled, suited for equipment, projects, or a workshop. Equipment Shed / Hay Storage Barn: Additional covered storage for machinery and hay. Whether you're looking for a private fishing and hunting retreat, a home base for horses and livestock, or simply a quiet piece of Kansas at the end of the road. This property offers just about everything you could ask for only 30 minutes from Lawrence and 20 minutes from Leavenworth. Taxes $3,274.98

Questions to ask before you buy

Good questions for any home near the slopes.

1. How is the property reached in winter, and who plows the road and driveway?A short straight-line distance can still mean a long or seasonal drive. Private roads, gates and mountain passes all shape winter access.
2. Is there documented ski access from the property (trail, easement, lift), and does it transfer to a buyer?Rights to cross neighboring land or use a lift come from recorded easements and agreements, so a ski-in or ski-out description is where the question starts.
3. Are there association, resort or club fees, and what do they cover?Some ski-area communities charge fees that cover only certain amenities, so ask what lift tickets, passes and services are included.
4. Are there rules on renting the home short-term or long-term?Local ordinances, association covenants and deed restrictions all set rental rules, and they differ from place to place.
5. What do heating, snow removal, winterization and utilities cost over a season?Ownership costs in snow country often run higher than the mortgage estimate suggests.
6. For land: is there legal year-round access, and what utilities, septic and building rules apply?Seasonal roads and steep lots can limit what can be built and when it can be reached.
