About this home
Discover Sycamore Ridge—a rare 51+ acre private estate just minutes from Loch Lloyd and the Kansas City metro. This custom log cabin home features warm, inviting interiors with soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, a dramatic stone fireplace, and flexible open-concept spaces. Currently configured as an upscale event venue, it is ideally suited for conversion back into a luxurious 1.5-story single-family residence. Wake to panoramic views from the expansive porches, sip morning coffee overlooking the private creek and wooded ridges. The walkout basement (presently a bridal suite) easily transforms into a spacious family room, additional bedroom, or both. Extra restrooms, a prep kitchen, and storage areas readily adapt for everyday family living or gourmet entertaining. Outside, the large stamped-concrete patio with string lights creates the perfect setting for outdoor dining, a future pool, or relaxed evenings by the water. The expansive acreage offers ample room for barns, trails, horses, or additional homes—delivering unmatched privacy and flexibility as a serene forever home, family compound, legacy estate, or income-generating venue. Properties of this size and finish so close to the city rarely come available.
