Smoky Valley Farmstead

This unique farmstead and recreational property is situated on 39 +/- acres in the beautiful Smoky Hill River Valley in southern Ellis County, Kansas.

Land

The property consists of 39 total acres. Although the farm might seem small in size, you will not be disappointed come hunting season! The wooded areas along with the old sandpit area have created a wildlife sanctuary for the deer and turkey, especially. They are seen roaming throughout the farm on a regular basis. It is located less than a mile from the Smoky Hill River making it an even more attractive hunting property.

Improvements

The possibilities for this rural retreat are endless! It would be great place for weekend getaways, a small horse or livestock ranch, hunting lodge, writer’s/artist’s retreat, or even a small vacation home, depending on your personal desires. Though situated on the very eastern edge of the small town of Pfeifer, this property is quiet and immensely peaceful. As you hike or ride through the 3.5 miles of mowed nature trails in the pasture, you will likely encounter turkey, deer, quail, or pheasant, not to mention songbirds and other wildlife. There is a natural spring located in the pasture. Near the spring, there is an open space within the trees that is wonderful for picnics, camping, and gatherings with friends or family.
The property is highlighted by a historic 1880’s farmhouse that has been renovated and updated. The house includes 1,115 square feet of finished living space house along with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. It also has a sizable dining room and living room. To accentuate the architectural beauty of the traditional Volga German farmhouse, one living room wall features exposed limestone. Take in an amazing Kansas sunrise from the covered front porch or catch views of the marvelous Holy Cross Church from just about anywhere in the yard.
