About This Home
For the first time in over 50 years, this extraordinary 30-acre estate on Highway 40 is being offered to the public. Just 5 minutes from Tecumseh and 11 minutes from downtown Topeka, this property offers an exceptional blend of privacy, history, and convenience—easily accessible via hard-surfaced roads and equipped with fiber optic internet for today’s connectivity needs.Set on a high elevation with panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, the homesite showcases breathtaking sunrises and sunsets from two expansive decks. On a clear day, you can even catch a distant glimpse of the Kansas State Capitol dome. A tree-lined, asphalt driveway leads to a well-cared-for 1974 home featuring 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a finished basement with a non-conforming bedroom and additional living space, plus a one-car attached garage.The homestead is beautifully framed by lush brome fields, adding both agricultural value and scenic appeal to the landscape. Whether for hay production, hobby farming, or simply open space to enjoy, the fields enhance the property's versatility.Outbuildings include a 36’ x 26’ multi-use structure with three parking bays, a workshop area, and a loft—ideal for hobbies, storage, or workspace—plus three additional sheds for added utility.What truly sets this property apart is its rich historical legacy. Believed to be Pratt’s Mound, named after Robert Pratt—the original deed holder in 1879—this land is deeply rooted in Kansas heritage. Even more remarkably, original 1843 Oregon Trail ruts still traverse the property, offering a rare and tangible link to America’s westward expansion.Whether you’re searching for a peaceful retreat, a scenic homestead, or a place steeped in history, this one-of-a-kind property is a rare and meaningful opportunity.
