Tucked behind mature trees on 5.46 private acres, this exceptional 2024 barndominium offers privacy and amenities that are increasingly difficult — and expensive — to recreate. A stocked pond sits steps from the door, a hot tub is in place on the 30x30 covered patio, and deer regularly wander the property. Durable metal siding and a metal roof mean more time enjoying the land and less time maintaining it. For those looking at the numbers, there's an even more compelling story. At approximately $200 per square foot to build a barndominium of this quality and finish, the 4,920-square-foot home alone represents roughly $984,000 in construction cost. That's $85,000 more than the entire $899,000 asking price — before adding the 5.46 acres, stocked pond, utilities, infrastructure, outbuilding, patio and other improvements. Recreating this property today could cost substantially more than purchasing it. Inside, the kitchen features a ZLINE 48" professional gas range with 8 burners, dual ovens, convection and built-in griddle, plus a walk-in pantry. The open living space flows directly to the covered patio. The main-level primary suite features a luxurious wet-room bath with freestanding soaking tub, dual rainfall showerheads, full-body spray jets and floor-to-ceiling marble-look tile. Two HVAC units provide separate comfort zones, while the spacious upstairs family room offers room for a media setup, game table or additional living space. The 45x50 outbuilding features three RV-height overhead doors, electricity and a heated shop. Bring the RV, boat, project car or equipment — there's room for all of them. With exterior load-bearing walls, future modifications can be simpler and more affordable than with many traditional homes. Minutes from Smithville Lake and KCI. Yet once you pass through the trees at the end of the driveway, it feels like you're miles from anywhere.
