Discover a truly one-of-a-kind 18+ acre property at the end of a quiet dead-end road just outside Paola. This unique 4-bedroom, 2-bath earth-contact home offers more than 2,800 sq. ft. of living space, substantial concrete construction, approximately 3' of insulated soil overhead, excellent southwest natural light, five mini-splits, and a wood-burning stove. Two large living areas provide flexible space for entertaining, gaming, a home gym, office, or storage.
The property features more than 600' of Walnut Creek frontage, mature oak, hickory and walnut timber, approximately 8 acres of productive pasture, and a stocked pond with bass, crappie, bluegill and catfish. A natural bluff and creek corridor create outstanding habitat for trophy whitetail, turkey, quail, rabbit, squirrel and other wildlife. Seasonal marsh areas and flooded timber attract migrating waterfowl, while prescribed burning, grazing and native overseeding have begun restoring portions of the property to diverse native grassland.
Enjoy abundant pawpaw trees, apple, pear, plum and mulberry trees, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries and herbs. A 40'×60' barn with power and water and a separate hobby/storage shed add valuable utility.
City water and electric serve the property. Despite its peaceful, secluded setting, you're only about 2.5 miles from Paola and Hwy 68, less than 10 minutes from Hillsdale Reservoir and Jayhawk Marina, and approximately 25 minutes from southern Olathe.
Whether you're looking for a hobby farm, wildlife retreat, homestead, recreational getaway, hunting property, or investment opportunity, this rare property offers endless possibilities.
Inspections welcome. Home does need finishing work. Selling as is. No sign in the yard.
