Lyon County, KS Hunting Lodge and Residential Retreat

Property Description

Located near the town of Reading, Kansas and only a short 15-minute drive to Emporia, you will love the peace and tranquility this property offers with the convenience of local amenities just miles away.  With a popular hunting lodge which sleeps 27, a 4BR/2BA home, 20 +/- acres of mature timber and plenty of opportunity, you won’t find many chances to own a property like this one!

This successful recreational guide and lodging company is ready for its new owners.  There are already hunts and stays on the books for 2026 and the current managers are willing to provide all contacts for leases and clients to the new owners if desired.  This property offers limitless opportunities for return on investment for someone who is looking for a new adventure.

Not only is this a thriving and popular hunting lodge, but many groups also reserve this space as an Airbnb for local events such as Unbound Gravel and the Disc Golf Tournaments.  It’s the perfect spot for family reunions, weddings, church groups and so much more!  Again, the Sellers plan to transfer those contacts and stays to the new Buyers if wanted.

Pulling into the driveway you are greeted with mature trees and an expansive and rolling yard.  The covered porch on the house would be a great place to watch the beautiful Kansas sunrise.  Inside the home, you’ll find a gorgeous rustic aesthetic featuring high ceilings and beautiful wooden finishings.  The kitchen provides plenty of storage with tall cabinets and oversized island and is open to the dining/living room area.  You will love the coziness and warmth throughout!  There are 4 spacious bedrooms and 2 full baths. The low maintenance metal siding and roof as well as cement flooring for most of the home make the upkeep a breeze.

There is a convenient covered breezeway from the house to the hunting lodge allowing for access no matter the weather.  Inside the lodge you’ll find an oversized locker room area for storage of outerwear, hunting supplies and equipment. Past the locker room is the breathtaking main area of the lodge which features expansive windows for natural light, rustic finishings, high ceilings and most notably a custom-built grain bin barzebo with a gorgeous handmade bar top.  There are multiple living/lounge areas, each is equipped with their own furniture and television!  Did I mention, all the furniture is available to stay as well?

There are a total of 8 bedrooms and 7 ½ bathrooms and over 3,200 square feet of space here!  Almost every bedroom contains 2-4 beds and its own private bathroom. The custom staircase is a showstopper and really showcases the beauty of this rustic resort.  Again, you'll love the low maintenance features such as a metal roof and siding, high-efficient HVAC system and on-demand hot water heaters.

After a long day of hunting you’ll love the full-length covered porch to the east to relax and unwind.  The property also features an equine barn with attached tack storage room.  There is already fence in place for cattle or horses and the small pond seems to be in good condition.

On the north end of the property, there is an older 3 bedroom/1 bath farmhouse with lots of charm and character which would need updated and some TLC.  The electricity and septic is still connected to the farmhouse and water would be an easy reconnection.

There is a game processing building which has 3 hoists and a boat winch for strain-free hoisting. There is also a wood-burning stove for those wintertime hunts and a large deep freeze available for storage.

If you’ve been hunting for a property with opportunity to expand or start your own business, this might be the perfect fit for you.  Please contact Kristi Noonan at 785-633-5942 to schedule a showing today!
