About this home

After over fifteen years, the Prairiewood organization is parting with its coveted StoneHouse estate ... One of the most unique properties in the region, StoneHouse was originally the farmstead estate of Sam Kimble, one of the early settlers to the Manhattan, Kansas area. Immaculately restored, this 1860s-era limestone estate features unsurpassed elegance in its amenities, while celebrating the heritage of its past by leaving many of the original elements exposed, including field-milled rafters, hand-hewn timbers, ancient limestone walls, and wide-plank wood floors with their original square-head nails. Situated just a half mile from the west side of Manhattan and nestled into a terraced hillside, StoneHouse is an exquisite estate home outfitted with all today’s modern amenities. Featuring a kitchen with a large farmhouse center island and 48" Italian gas range, it is perfect for both the preparation of delectable meals and gathering together. On the second level, the great room offers dedicated dining and sitting areas, with a gas fireplace, original hardwood floors, and vaulted ceiling. Outdoors opens to a lush, landscaped courtyard paired with a roofless patio and spring-fed pond. The multiple patios include a built-in hot tub, and provide an abundance of options for unforgettable entertaining. StoneHouse offers four private bedrooms— three with en-suite bathrooms. The baths feature two-person deep soaker tubs with double shower heads, providing a spa-like oasis surrounded by marble and stone. Inside and out, the overall result is a timeless historic estate, full of storybook charm, that harkens to both its pioneer past and its European influence. The property is being offered with most of its furnishings included, making it a ready to use turn-key retreat. Simply put, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a fortunate new owner to enjoy the unparalleled combination of StoneHouse's endless attributes and enchanted ethos.
