Tracts 1 & 2 Rolling Ground and Long Views
The north end of Stone Ridge Estates begins with Tracts 1 and 2, which display the kind of topography buyers expect from prime Kansas acreage. Both tracts feature gradual elevation changes, open meadows, and long-range views across the surrounding countryside. The contours create natural building sites that sit slightly elevated, ideal for homes that capture sunsets or overlook future pasture and garden areas.

Each tract measures about twenty acres, large enough to support livestock, 4-H projects, outbuildings, or a private lane without crowding the residence. The mix of grassland and light tree cover provides balanceopen enough for flexibility, but with enough natural shape to avoid a flat, monotonous feel.

Because of their alignment, Tracts 1 and 2 can also be purchased together to form a forty-acre holding. Combined, they create an excellent footprint for a larger homestead, multi-family setup, or small farm operation. The terrain transitions smoothly between the two, and the shared boundary makes it easy to plan cross-fencing or a connecting driveway.
