Step back in time and enjoy the appeal of this 1901 farmhouse set on 120 surveyed acres in Tecumseh, KS. While the home retains its historic character and features newer siding and a newer roof, it offers a blank canvas for those ready to make updates and improvements. Surrounding the farmhouse are several well-kept outbuildings—including a newer 70x60 machine shed—and attractive hand-stacked stone fencing in select areas, adding to the property’s function and character. The land offers a diverse and productive layout: 60 acres of tillable farm ground and 45 acres of native prairie grass ideal for grazing, hay, or habitat. Five ponds are scattered across the property, enhancing its agricultural value and natural features. With two active water meters and access via paved roads, the infrastructure is already in place for a wide range of uses. Located just 10 minutes from Topeka and 15 minutes from Lawrence, this is an ideal location for those seeking rural acreage with convenient access to nearby communities. Whether expanding a current operation, building an investment portfolio, or launching a hobby farm, this tract offers both opportunity and long-term ownership potential. Over the years, the farm has been recognized for its land stewardship, including multiple awards for conservation—the most recent being the 2022 Kansas Bankers Association Award for Soil Conservation. Properties with a documented history of care like this rarely come available. A strong candidate for both agricultural and personal visions alike. If additional acreage is desired, there is a 39-acre tract available just to the east of this property; refer to MLS #2541194.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.

RA-1
Rural Agriculture District
This district is established to provide for the conservation, preservation and protection of farmland and to encourage the development and improvement of such land for the production of food and other agricultural products consistent with the policy of the state. It is intended that all agricultural activities will be protected from the encroachment of nonagricultural activities, or other incompatible uses particularly those which are urban in character and are lacking the essential utility and community services. Among others, the purpose of the district is: to protect open space and agricultural uses from the adverse consequences of urban development; to avoid premature development of land where the complete range of urban services at full municipal service levels is not expected to be provided for an indefinite future time for new urban uses; to avoid uneconomic and inefficient provision of public facilities and service that serve one or few scattered urban projects located a substantial distance from the other municipal systems, including such instances when the extension of such facilities is financially supported by other than public entities; to concentrate urban growth into a more compact and desirable pattern throughout the planning area; and to provide for the orderly expansion of urban land usage consistent with the policies, goals, and objectives of the community.
