Lawrence, KS
Just ½ mile south of Lone Star and 9 miles southwest of Lawrence, this rare 90-acre retreat offers the perfect blend of wild beauty, outdoor adventure, and refined living.
A gated driveway winds through native prairie and hardwood timber, leading to a private home site with sweeping views of Lawrence and the KU skyline. With 35 acres of open grassland, 51 acres of timber, and 2.5 miles of winding UTV trails, the property is a dream for nature lovers, hunters, and those seeking total seclusion. Step onto the back deck and catch sight of deer moving through the woods or wild turkeys grazing nearby. Exceptional hunting is literally just outside your door. Near the pond, a fire pit and stone patio invite you to unwind beneath open skies.
Built in 2012, the custom reverse 1.5-story home delivers over 5,000 sq ft of rustic elegance. Natural stone wraps both the exterior and interior fireplaces, and the vaulted great room is crowned with barn wood ceilings and ash hardwood floors. The open kitchen features a limestone island, knotty alder cabinetry, and panoramic views. Main-level living includes the primary suite, laundry, mudroom, and two offices - perfect for remote work or planning your next outdoor pursuit. Additional bedrooms, a radiant-heated family room with gas fireplace, wet bar, gym, and a safe room are found in the walkout lower level.
A heated and cooled custom outbuilding with a covered porch includes a finished interior space with a full bath - ideal for use as a guest suite, studio, office, or hobby room - while the remaining space offers additional storage, parking, or workspace. A second 48' x 42' outbuilding with water and electricity sits on a separately deeded 15-acre buildable tract included in the sale, ideal for future expansion, resale, or a second residence.
If you're looking for a peaceful place to live, entertain, explore, and make memories for generations to come, this 90-acre Lone Star retreat offers all of that - and more.
