Country Charm, Acreage & Opportunity Just South of Lawrence! Opportunities like this are getting harder to find in Douglas County! Located just off Highway 59, south of Lawrence and roughly halfway to Baldwin City, this 2.5-acre property offers a peaceful rural setting, mature trees, and plenty of space to enjoy the outdoors—all while remaining conveniently located between two communities. The 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers 1,272 square feet of living space, including a bright sunroom that adds an inviting spot to relax and take in the surrounding landscape. A wrap-around deck provides plenty of room for outdoor entertaining, morning coffee, or simply enjoying the quiet setting. The property also features a detached garage/shop, additional storage buildings, and a charming little outbuilding with plenty of possibilities—it could become a playhouse, chicken coop, hobby space, or simply another storage building. Along the side of the home, a small fenced area surrounds a large fire pit, creating a great space for gathering with family and friends. The partial basement offers abundant storage and hobby space, along with a root-cellar area that could be put to a variety of uses. Whether you envision a workshop, garden storage, hobby room, or something entirely your own, there is plenty of potential to make the space work for you. This home needs some TLC, but that is also what makes it such an exciting opportunity. Bring your ideas, your vision, and a little elbow grease to create a property that truly reflects your style. The home and property are being offered strictly as-is. Inspections are welcome, but the seller will make no repairs. With 2.5 acres, a peaceful wooded setting, multiple outbuildings, and a location just minutes from Lawrence, properties in this price range are becoming increasingly rare in Douglas County. Don't miss your opportunity to make this one your own!

AG-2
Transitional Agricultural District
The AG-2 Transitional Agricultural District will provide an appropriate zoning designation for low density development that retains the character of a rural area with limited residential development. This District is intended to accommodate low-density rural development in areas that are not well-suited for agriculture or development that has been designed to accommodate agricultural land uses in the area. For this reason, rezoning requests to this district will be evaluated on a case-by-case, site-by-site basis.
Due to the unique purpose and nature of this district it may not be provided in uniform areas, as is common with most zoning districts, but may be provided in very small areas located throughout the unincorporated portion of the county.; In addition, the AG-2 District is intended to accommodate lands which are currently located in the A Agricultural District but have inadequate parcel area for the AG-1 District e.g. land was divided into less than 20 acres, prior to the adoption of these regulations; The AG-2 District will allow the zoning maps to more clearly represent the current land uses in an area. The AG-1 District will include larger parcels with agricultural or open space land uses and the AG-2 District will include smaller parcels and land that has been divided for residential development. Agriculture remains a permitted and encouraged use in the AG-2 District.
Permitted uses

Agriculture
Housing-Group
