Southern Lyon County Build Site
Southern Lyon County Build Site
For those wanting to build a rural home on Flint Hills land with recreational appeal and a place to keep their livestock, this is one you’ll want to take a look at. Totaling 47 acres more or less, this build site is a rare type due to the multitude of amenities it possesses and in an affordable size, making this an attractive total package. Pavement frontage, utilities nearby, hardwood timber, grazing pasture, a pond and creek all contribute to this beautiful parcel in Southern Lyon County located between Olpe and Madison.
The east boundary is fronted by Highway 99 with electric service and a rural water line running north and south adjacent to the highway. Moving westward across the Flint Hills landscape, those with livestock will appreciate the mixed grass pasture, pond and creek. The pond has a great location, secluded in the timber of the northwest corner, completely surrounded by trees. Just west of the pond is a wet-weather creek and a stand of heavy, mature timber that extends along the entire west boundary.
The pavement frontage is an obvious amenity but the location is also excellent. It’s approximately 3 miles south to Madison, 6 miles north to Olpe and a convenient, all pavement commute to Emporia of 15 miles. At Emporia you’ll be able to access the I-35 corridor to Wichita or Kansas City or take 335 to Topeka, all less than 2 hours away.
