Enjoy the perfect blend of space, privacy, and convenience at this extraordinary custom-built home just 1.5 miles from Emporia. Situated on 5 acres (+/- 14 additional acres with 20/20 shop available to purchase as well), this meticulously maintained property offers over 4,000 square feet of living space, 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and the peacefulness of country living with quick and easy access to town. Designed for both everyday comfort and entertaining, the home overlooks a heated in-ground pool, a beautiful stocked pond complete with a dock, and breathtaking Kansas sunsets. The expansive covered deck provides the perfect place to relax while taking in panoramic views of the water, abundant wildlife, and the surrounding countryside. The pond is stocked with trophy-sized bass and catfish, creating a private fishing retreat right outside your door. Deer, turkey, and other wildlife are frequent visitors, making this property a dream for outdoor enthusiasts. Recent improvements have added both value and functionality, including new windows throughout, the addition of a basement bedroom, an expanded laundry room, and a spacious walk-in pantry. The owners also relocated the lagoon, creating a larger, more usable backyard while keeping it completely out of sight from the home's main living and recreation areas. Storage, workspace, and versatility abound. The impressive 40' x 60' shop features heated floors, a loft, kitchen, and half bathroom…making it ideal for hobbies, projects, entertaining, equipment storage, or even living space! An oversized attached two-car garage provides plenty of room for vehicles and everyday storage. Built with quality craftsmanship and exceptionally maintained, this is a rare opportunity to own a property that offers the best of both worlds...peaceful rural living with the convenience of being just minutes from town. Whether you're enjoying a sunset from the deck, fishing from the dock, or spending time poolside, you'll quickly discover what it feels like to own a home where every day feels like a getaway. * Seller is a licensed real estate broker/agent in Kansas.
