Incredible Retreat Farm with Cabin, Shops, Hunting & Fishing

Where the World Gets Quiet There's a moment right after you turn off the pavement and wind down the private drive when it happens. The noise of everything fades. The city, the schedule, the screen in your pocket. All of it gives way to the sound of wind moving through the timber and the sight of a hay meadow glowing gold in the afternoon light. This is that place. Seventy-eight acres on the south-facing slopes of the Wakarusa River Valley, and every single one of them has a purpose. This isn't land you look at from a distance. It's land you walk, hunt, fish, and live on. The kind that becomes part of your rhythm after just a single season. The trail system winds through the property like it was drawn by someone who actually understood what access means. Quiet paths through the timber. Open stretches past warm-season grasses that sway and catch the late afternoon sun. Down to the water. Back through the alfalfa. You could spend a week here and still feel like you're finding new corners. And the water. Three ponds totaling more than four acres of surface, each one a world of its own. Trophy bass that'll humble you in the best way. Fall mornings on the water's edge when the ducks are working, and the fog is still hanging over the valley. There's a reason serious outdoorsmen talk about properties like this in hushed tones. This is the one they're talking about. Tucked into a secluded corner of the farm, twelve acres of alfalfa do quiet, consistent work drawing whitetail and turkey in from the surrounding countryside season after season. Between the cabin and the north timber, a gorgeous stand of warm-season grasses provides both beauty and bedding cover, completing a habitat that's been thoughtfully assembled over time. And when the fence lines end, the adventure doesn't. The property adjoins tens of thousands of acres in the Clinton Lake Wildlife Management Area, giving you access to a near-limitless hunting and recreation ground that most people only ever dream about. Deer in the fall. Turkey in the spring. Mushrooms pushing through the timber floor right behind them. Bass all summer long. Ducks when the weather turns. Shed antlers waiting to be found in the thaw. This farm runs a full calendar of reasons to be outside. After a long day on the land, the A-frame cabin earns its place. Rustic details wrapped with tongue and groove cedar walls, a two-story statement brick fireplace, and a vaulted living room with floor-to-ceiling windows that keep the outdoors close even when you've finally sat down. It's the kind of architecture that understands what "living" actually means. Three bedrooms and three full bathrooms offer everything you need, while the fully finished basement gives you room to spread out, host, or simply disappear for a while. The south-facing deck looks out over the hay meadow where the day began, and there's no better place to end it. Two substantial shops: an 80'x48' and a 48'x16', one with partial concrete floors, electricity, and an abundance of access points, handle everything you need: tractors, trucks, boats, ATVs, and all the gear that comes with a life lived outdoors. The location is the final piece of a puzzle that fits together almost too perfectly. Twelve to fifteen miles from anywhere you need to be in Topeka or Lawrence. Less than ten minutes from Clinton Lake. Remote enough to mean it. Close enough to not cost you anything. Some properties are investments. Some are weekend escapes. This one is something rarer a place that changes how you think about what your life could look like. Call Shay Haddock at (913) 222-4257 to schedule your private showing.
