Property Description
Welcome to this scenic 26-acre farmstead just minutes from Baldwin City, Kansas. Perfect for 4-H families, hobby farmers, or anyone seeking a peaceful country lifestyle, this well-maintained property combines charm, practicality, and move-in-ready convenience. The 1925 farmhouse offers three bedrooms and one bathroom and has been thoughtfully updated with new electrical and plumbing systems, vinyl siding, windows, and new guttering in 2024. A newly decked front porch and an enclosed sitting porch add to the home’s warmth. It’s serviced by a private well, natural gas, and includes a second functional well on the property. The land features woven wire perimeter fencing, seven cross-fenced pastures, two stocked ponds, and six water hydrants—ideal for livestock or rotational grazing. Outbuildings include a historic dairy barn with a concrete floor, hayloft, insulated tack room, and lean-to; a 56′ x 32′ livestock shed with four pens; a 46′ x 32′ machine shed; two detached garages (one with a workshop); two chicken coops; and a grain bin. A fenced garden area and small orchard with cherry, apple, and peach trees support homesteading dreams. Whether you’re growing your own food, raising animals, or simply enjoying sunset views over the pond, this property has it all. Just 1.5 miles off Highway 56, with easy access to Lawrence, Ottawa, and Kansas City, this is a rare rural find with both privacy and convenience. Schedule your private showing today.
