Description
The Opportunity
Opportunities to own a premium 40-acre creek bottom estate just minutes from Wichita are few and far between. Properties like this—offering a turn-key residence, fertile farmland, mature timber, and upscale amenities—are rarely available. This is truly one of the finest small-acreage homesteads to hit the market, combining privacy, recreation, and high-end country living in a setting that feels both remote and accessible.
The Location
Situated just west of Douglass, Kansas, this estate is only 30 minutes southeast of downtown Wichita, offering the perfect balance between peaceful rural living and convenient city access.
The Land
Nestled along the scenic banks of 8-Mile Creek, this 40-acre tract offers exceptional natural beauty and functionality. Towering hardwoods—including massive Walnut, Sycamore, and various Oaks—line the western and southern borders of the property. A well-maintained 1.25-mile trail system winds through the timber, providing access to the creek for fishing, canoeing, or simply enjoying nature.
Approximately 23 acres are in productive tillable ground, currently utilized for a wheat, corn, and soybean rotation—ideal for generating income, planting food plots, or expanding your hobby farm. Wildlife thrives here, with frequent sightings of whitetail deer, wild turkey, bobcat, and coyote. Whether you're a hunter, farmer, or recreational enthusiast, this property delivers year-round value and enjoyment.
The Home
Custom built in 2018 by Benchmark Homes, the residence is a showcase of craftsmanship and thoughtful design. The vaulted main living area is anchored by exposed wood beams and detailed trim work, creating a warm and inviting space. The home features a spacious layout with two guest bedrooms, a large kids’ bunk room, and a well-appointed primiary suite. The primary bathroom includes a walk-in tiled shower with a picture window offering views of wildlife just beyond the glass, and a walk-through closet that connects directly to the laundry room.
Premium features include Quaker Low-E windows and doors, Graber blinds, Whirlpool appliances with double ovens, granite countertops, dual sinks, and a walk-out basement complete with a full wet bar, alder cabinetry, a gas fireplace with cedar mantle, and an 8’ Sterling pool table. Every space in the home has been designed for comfort, function, and entertaining.
The Extras
No rural estate is complete without a shop and vineyard—and this one has both. The 40’x30’ insulated shop includes a bathroom, concrete floors, tool storage, UTV space, a high-efficiency corn furnace, and a 2.5-ton Mitsubishi mini-split HVAC system. Vintage signage adds charm, and everything is in place to support both work and leisure.
The fully irrigated vineyard, visible from the home’s rear, offers a picturesque backdrop and produces a variety of white and red grapes—perfect for making wine, jam, or enjoying fresh from the vine. Additional amenities include a private shooting range with targets from 100 to 466 yards and a permanent shooting bench. The property lies just ¼ mile from paved road access yet feels worlds away in terms of privacy.
