Come see this nicely updated country hobby farm on nearly 5 acres, offering privacy, space, and the freedom to enjoy a true rural lifestyle. With nearly 2,850 square feet of remodeled living space, plus an addition in recent years, this home offers 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms and is ready to enjoy from day one. Located approximately 5 miles from Melvern Lake, this inviting country homestead features an impressive shop, private stocked pond, and plenty of room for animals, gardening, recreation, and all the things that make country living special. Inside, the home has been extensively renovated within the past 24 months with a completely redesigned kitchen, updated bathrooms, new flooring and carpet, and warm tongue-and-groove ceilings that add character throughout. Comfort and efficiency were also addressed with a high-efficiency propane HVAC system, on-demand water heater, 2 pellet stoves, 2 Mini-Split heat/air units for the addition, and a metal roof installed in June 2024. Outside is where this property really shines. The 52' x 40' insulated shop with a concrete floor and loft includes its own bathroom plus a three-bay lean-to along the south side, providing excellent space for vehicles, equipment, projects, livestock, or additional storage. The home is connected to rural water, while a separate well with a new pump serves the shop and is ideal for gardens and livestock. An established shooting berm is already in place on level ground, providing an ideal setup for target practice with a range distance extending nearly the full depth of the property. Spend your evenings fishing your own stocked pond, complete with bass, crappie, and bluegill, or enjoy the established apple trees, raised garden bed, chicken coop, and treehouse. With nearly five acres to work with, there is plenty of space for animals, gardening, hobbies, and simply enjoying the quiet Kansas countryside. Just minutes from Melvern Lake and its boating, fishing, camping, and recreational opportunities, this property offers the privacy of country living without giving up convenient access to one of the area's best outdoor destinations. If you've been looking for a modern country home with a dream shop and room to enjoy the outdoors, this one checks a lot of boxes.
