Picturesque Country Home on 50 Acres north of Emporia, Kansas

Property Description

Just 5 miles north of Emporia, Kansas, this beautifully updated country home sits on 50 acres of gently rolling native grass hay meadow with mature trees, a long private driveway, and truly breathtaking views in every direction. Combining rustic character with modern upgrades, this property offers space, comfort, and serenity all within minutes of town.

A large wraparound front porch sets the tone, perfect for quiet mornings or relaxing evenings. Step inside and you’re greeted by soaring wooden ceilings, rich wood finishes, and expansive windows that flood the home with natural light. The spacious main level includes two comfortable bedrooms and one and a half bathrooms, with a thoughtful layout ideal for everyday living. The open-concept kitchen flows into a warm and inviting dining area and living room, both centered around a striking double-sided stone fireplace.

One of the home's standout features is the sunroom along the entire southern side of the house. This bright and open space offers year-round enjoyment with stunning natural light, panoramic views of the surrounding pasture, and a peaceful atmosphere that makes it perfect for reading, relaxing, or hosting guests. With ample room for seating or dining, the sunroom becomes a natural extension of the living space blending indoor comfort with the beauty of the outdoors. Whether you’re watching deer cross the meadow in the morning or enjoying golden-hour sunsets, the sunroom provides a front-row seat to the ever-changing Kansas landscape.

Upstairs, you’ll find a generous full bathroom, a spacious private bedroom, and a large loft area—perfect as a second living room, home office, reading nook, or creative space. The basement offers even more versatility with a full bathroom and a non-conforming bedroom, ideal for guests with space for a home gym or a quiet retreat. The basement is partially finished with electrical and framing of walls completed, just needing to be finished with your choice coverings.

Extensive recent upgrades bring peace of mind: the roof was replaced just three years ago, and the home features a new furnace and AC system, a new sump pump and lift pit pump, and a new water heater with a gravity-fed recirculation loop. Every bathroom has been updated with new toilets and faucets, and the kitchen fixtures have also been refreshed.

Additional updates include a new main electrical panel and sub panel, fresh interior paint, new light fixtures and ceiling fans, upgraded outlets and switches, a new garage door, and new deck railing. The attached two-car garage provides ample space for vehicles, storage, or projects. For those who work from home or enjoy streaming, Highline Fiber Internet and Mercury Broadband are both available for high-speed connectivity.

This parcel offers a high-quality native grass hay meadow, well maintained and free from invasive species. The land is gently rolling, providing a serene and picturesque setting. Ideal for those seeking a tranquil rural environment, this meadow requires minimal maintenance and offers a natural habitat for local wildlife.

Whether you're watching the sunset from the porch, enjoying a cozy evening by the fire, or exploring the beauty of your own land, this unique and well-maintained property offers space, comfort, and the unmatched tranquility of country living just minutes from town, but a world away.
