About this home

This is a gorgeous property with 10 acres in the country and only 1 mile from DeSoto, 15 miles from Lawrence, and 15 miles from the west edge of the KC metro area. The property sits on a county maintained blacktop road, surrounded mostly by woods. It is fully fenced and gated. There are 8 acres of grass and 2 acres of woods. There is a functioning well, and 2 ponds with fish, frogs and turtles. There is a natural spring. The wildlife is abundant including birds, geese and deer. There is an old home that has been gutted and partially framed with new hvac, a fireplace and lots of building supplies on hand that are negotiable. The house could be 2 or 3 bedrooms and 1 or 2 baths. There is a large front deck and back patio, mud room and storm shelter and it sits on a crawl space. There are 4 barns. One is being used as an animal rescue barn. It was originally a 2 car garage with workshop and can be converted to that again. It has electricity, water and a wood burning stove, window ac unit, 3 ceiling fans and exhaust fans and a large propane furnace. There is a round mule barn with electricity and water, but needs a new roof. The other 2 barns are in fair shape and have no electricity or water but not far from a source. There is also a small shed with no utilities that is nice for storing a mower or other equipment in. The property has a raised bed garden, fire pit and some small private sitting areas on walking trails throughout the property. The home is not currently habitable.
