The master suite has an onyx shower and walk in closet. One room that is currently being used as a walk in pantry could be transitioned back to a 3rd bedroom if needed.. The barn has had its own rich history. The original part built in the1920’s was used for traditional homestead purposes, then in the 70’s additions were made for raising little porkers. In early 2000, the barn underwent some major renovations to become a cabinet shop. Then again in 2016, parts of it were remodeled and opened as a lodge, currently known as “The Barn at Bear Bottoms, Lodge and Resort” and found on Facebook. The new owner has the option to keep the barn as a lodge or it could become a good full time rental unit, a great mother-in-law house, overflow for family on holidays, etc. Currently the main barn apartment has a master suite with shower, laundry unit, claw foot tub, and lots of storage. The second semi private sleeping space is a Murphy bed that when put up allows for a comfortable living room space. A second bath, entry with entry closet, and a furnished full kitchen with seating, complete this space. Most furnishings and linens are included. The south end of the lodge, AKA the Bunkhouse, has one private bedroom, one semi private, 1.5 baths, and a kitchenette. The Bunkhouse can be rented as a stand alone unit or can open to the apartment for larger groups. The main barn apartment has ductless mini split H/A and has electric heat/cool in the bunkhouse. The large game room currently has ping pong and slate top pool table, projection TV with screen, built in cabinets, indoor and out sound system, board games, popcorn popper, extra table and chairs, most of which are included. The game room has a window air conditioner and wood heat. Also included in the barn is a large space currently being used as a wood shop, but it could be transformed into an art or hobby studio, home office, home run small business space, home schooling space, etc. There is plenty of storage in the room that adjoins and has easy access with it’s own outside entrance. Outdoor amenities are plentiful with the beautiful landscaped pond perfect for swimming, fishing (Bass and Bluegill), kayak and paddleboat, two beaches (one for boats and one for building sand castles), boat dock, shaded patio, fountain, and small waterfall. The large covered patio can seat groups up to 30 and has lighting for evening activities. A full 8 ft windmill head is the center of attraction at the fire pit along with the tale gait table and privacy fence for windbreak. Other amenities include corrals for livestock such as horse, donkey, meat goats, etc. The chicken house has its own fenced in area but can double for a garden shed since the garden and apple trees are close by. The fact that the property is right on Hwy 24 is perfect for those quick trips into town, and Meridian Rd, which is only occasionally used by the local land owners, is perfect for a stroll up to the top of the hill where you have a 360 view of the surrounding fields, wildlife, and awesome sunsets. Last but not least, this property has a shallow well with an amazingly strong flow and great tasting water source that money just can’t buy. 28 Mi to Milford Lake (largest in KS) 38 Mi to Tuttle Creek Reservoir (2nd largest in KS) 53 Mi to Manhattan Regional Airport 59 Mi to Salina Regional Airport 13 Mi to Clay Center, KS for schools, hospital, grocery 5 Mi to Miltonvale, KS for school, gas, café, bank, etc. Contact us at 785-427-2240 or 785-413-0641
