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

Buyer checklist
Questions worth investigating for any farm or ranch purchase. They are not claims that this property has a problem or meets any condition.
- Legal accessIs there deeded or recorded access to a public road, and are there easements across the land (or that the land relies on)?
- Water rights and wellsA well, pond, creek or irrigation system does not by itself establish a legal right to use the water. Ask for the water right, permit or registration documents and test the well.
- Leases and tenanciesAre there farm, grazing, hunting, CRP, oil and gas or wind leases? Some survive a sale or require notice before they end.
- Soil and usable landHow many acres can actually be cropped or grazed? Check the NRCS soil survey and get a current lab soil test for the use you plan.
- RestrictionsZoning, conservation easements, deed restrictions, HOA rules, floodplain and wetland rules can limit what you can do.
- Building conditionBarns, fences, wells and septic systems need inspection; a listed building may not suit a commercial or livestock use.
- UtilitiesPower, water, septic capacity, internet and road maintenance: who provides them and at what cost.
- What is included in the saleEquipment, growing crops, stored hay, livestock, irrigation equipment, permits and farm program contracts are often separate. Get it in writing.
