Property Description

From the moment you turn onto the red maple lined drive, you're welcomed by a canopy of seasonal color that sets the tone for this tranquil country property. Nestled on 14.4 groomed acres, this 4-bedroom reverse ranch offers the space and setting to bring your rural lifestyle dreams to life—whether you're hosting extended family, entertaining the neighborhood, or exploring the possibilities of a hobby farm. The home has been thoughtfully updated with new exterior paint, exterior doors, updated flooring and carpet, lifetime warranty windows, and a remodeled kitchen featuring upscaled granite countertops. The elevated screened porch is a favorite spot to start or end your day—sip your morning coffee as the sun dances across the backyard pond or gather for evening chats enjoying the country air. Downstairs, the walk-out basement offers flexible space for entertaining, with an overhead door opening to a massive patio—ideal for hosting outdoor parties or family celebrations. A built-in slide adds fun for the kids, while adults can unwind in the hot tub or float in the seasonal above-ground pool. Whether you're casting a line in the stocked pond, watching wildlife, or teaching the next generation to fish, the pond is definitely a year-round source of fun & relaxation. Off the southwest corner of the home, the 30' x 50' insulated shop with pull-through overhead doors and a 12' x 50' lean-to that offers endless possibilities. Use it for equipment storage, a workshop, or convert it into a studio or gym. With power, insulation, and easy access, it’s ready to support all your hobbies, business ventures, or weekend projects. Located just minutes from Paola and with easy access to Kansas City, this property offers the peace of country living without sacrificing convenience. This is truly a place built for memory-making—and it's ready for the next chapter!
