Escape to your own private country retreat nestled among the rolling, forested hills of central Douglas County. Located in the highly desirable Quantrill Acres neighborhood and just a 10-minute drive from Lawrence, this beautiful home offers the peace and privacy of country living with the convenience of an entirely paved drive to town. Situated on 3 scenic acres and thoughtfully built into a north-facing hillside, this one-of-a-kind property captures breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside from nearly every room. The 4-bedroom, 2-bath home features a spacious main-level primary suite with an updated en-suite bathroom, while three additional bedrooms are located in the bright walk-out basement. The main level showcases gorgeous hardwood floors, abundant natural light, and expansive windows that frame the picturesque landscape. At the heart of the home is a beautifully appointed country kitchen featuring a gas range, generous granite countertops, a tile backsplash, and an adjoining utility room that leads to the breezeway connecting the home to the attached two-car garage. The walk-out lower level is filled with natural light thanks to oversized windows and offers a spacious family room, three additional bedrooms, direct access to the backyard patio, and the added peace of mind of a fully concrete-encased safe room for severe Kansas weather. Outdoor living is just as inviting, with a welcoming covered front porch, an expansive back deck overlooking the rolling hills, and a shaded walk-out patio below—perfect for relaxing, entertaining, or simply taking in the beauty of the surrounding landscape. The home also features a security camera system, providing added convenience and peace of mind. Properties like this are becoming increasingly difficult to find. Combining an exceptional location, stunning natural setting, and a thoughtfully designed home just minutes from Lawrence, this is a rare opportunity to own your own slice of the Douglas County countryside.
