Located under an hour from the KC metro in rural Bates County, west of Butler, is this beautiful home in a private country setting. The 1,300-foot driveway leads down the front field, across a concrete creek crossing through the wooded draw, and up the back field where you’ll arrive at the charming home overlooking the grounds and pond. The roughly 3,000 SF ranch house has a sprawling floor plan, with four bedrooms and two and a half baths. With high ceilings and great lighting, a spacious eat-in kitchen, formal dining room, and large living room provide plenty of space for entertaining. The many updates include new carpet and paint, remodeled bathrooms, upgraded lights and devices, newer siding and gutters, landscape upgrades, high-speed internet, and the home is virtually move-in ready. A large laundry and mud room is a convenient flex space for chores and various storage. The attached two-car garage has heavy-duty OSB walls and ceiling. Foundations and brackets have been installed for the construction of a new deck out back. A nice 8’x15’ storage shed is perfect for lawn and garden tools and equipment. The home is located in the Butler School District.

In a primarily agricultural neighborhood, the 20 acres of land is fenced on three sides. Much of the ground is open, and hay is currently harvested from the fields annually. A wooded draw with a wet-weather creek runs through the middle of the property, and provides privacy from the road. The pond not only provides gorgeous scenery, but is stocked for fishing. Other wildlife, such as deer, are present and observed on the property often.
