623 N 900 Rd, Lawrence, KS 66047

Set within a secluded landscape just two miles south of Clinton Lake, this remarkable 88 +/- acre property offers an uncommon combination of historic character, productive grassland, exceptional recreation, and lasting family heritage. Conveniently located approximately 15 miles from Lawrence, 26 miles from Topeka, and 55 miles from Kansas City, the property feels wonderfully private while remaining within easy reach of major communities and amenities. Whether envisioned as a full-time residence, private recreational retreat, hunting property, or legacy estate, this tract provides the land, water, improvements, and location to serve generations to come. The centerpiece of the property is an impressive original two-and-a-half-story residence constructed in 1907. Inherited and held by the same family for many years, the home reflects the quality and craftsmanship of a bygone era. Offering approximately 2,009 square feet of finished living space, the residence includes four bedrooms and two full bathrooms. Beautifully maintained original hardwood floors extend throughout much of the home, while detailed wood trim, door and window casings, and other handcrafted features preserve its authentic character. Thoughtful remodeling completed throughout the years has allowed the home to evolve while retaining the timeless details that make it truly one of a kind. The property encompasses approximately 72 acres of grassland, including roughly 36 acres that are hayed annually. These open acres provide agricultural productivity, scenic views, and several attractive locations for future improvements or additional homesites. Whether overlooking the lake, positioned near the mature timber, or tucked into a more secluded portion of the property, the multiple potential build sites offer an opportunity to create a custom home or family compound while preserving the original residence as a guesthouse or retreat. Approximately 13 acres of mature hardwood timber add tremendous beauty and wildlife habitat. The diverse timber stand includes bur oak, white oak, cottonwood, elm, ash, hackberry, and cedar. Combined with the rolling grassland, secluded setting, dependable water, and nearby agricultural resources, the property offers outstanding habitat for whitetail deer, wild turkey, and a variety of other native wildlife. Hunters will appreciate the established interior deer stand built directly into the machine shed that the owner used even into her golden years, which allowed her the opportunity to get out still and enjoy a sit and provided a unique and comfortable vantage point during the season. At the heart of the property lies an approximately 3-acre, spring-fed lake stocked with bass, channel catfish, and bluegill. The lake provides year-round recreational enjoyment, from quiet mornings spent fishing to evenings overlooking the water. Its size and dependable spring-fed water source also create exceptional opportunities for waterfowl hunting. With Clinton Lake located only two miles to the north, the surrounding area serves as a natural destination and travel corridor for ducks and geese, further enhancing the property’s sporting appeal. A strong collection of outbuildings provides ample space for vehicles, equipment, storage, hobbies, and land management. The 36’x24’ two-car garage features concrete floors, electricity, stubbed plumbing, storage, and workshop space. A substantial 32’x80’ machine shed offers additional equipment storage and workshop capabilities, along with the built-in interior deer stand. The improvements are completed by a 14’x40’ lean-to and an 8’x12’ garden shed. Utilities include FreeState Electric Cooperative service, central propane, and Douglas County Rural Water District No. 5. All mineral rights are intact and transfer with the property. Approximate 2025 property taxes were $5,356. Properties offering this balance of history, recreation, productivity, and accessibility are increasingly difficult to find.
