Property Details

8410 Edgerton

DeSoto KS- growing!

Property:  10 acres in the country, only 1 mile from De Soto, 15 miles from Lawrence, and 15 miles from the west edge of the Kansas City metropolitan area.  This property is on a county maintained blacktop road, surrounded mostly by woods.  It is fully fenced and gated.  There are 8 acres of grass and 2 acres of woods.  There is a functioning well, and two ponds with fish, frogs and turtles.  There is also a natural spring.   The wildlife here is abundant including birds, geese and deer.

House:  gutted and partially framed, new roof, new HVAC, functional fireplace, lots of new building supplies on hand.  Depending on the architecture plans chosen,  this house is currently 2 or 3 bedrooms and 1 or 2 baths.  However, the plans can be expanded.  It has a large front deck and a back patio, mud room, and storm shelter.  There is a crawl space.  .  

Barns:  4 total.  

The barn down the hill from the house (currently the rescue barn) was formerly a 2 car garage plus workshop, and can be easily converted back to that.  It is in great shape with electricity, water, wood burning stove, window AC unit, 3 ceiling fans, 2 exhaust fans and a large propane furnace.  

The round mule barn is in good shape, with electricity and water, but needs a new roof.  

The other two barns are in fair shape with no electricity or water…but not far from a source of both.  (Think extention cords and long hoses.)  

In addition to the barns, there is a small shed that’s great for storing lawn mowers.

Other amenities include a raised bed garden, a fire pit, and a few small, private sitting areas in the woods.
