Under our 32 years of stewardship the land has been a safe haven for wildlife. With a vision to build a passive solar home, nestled at the edge of a forest of hickory, oak and walnut with a view of our pond, we blazed the meandering lane by hand-cutting our way through the forest. Our architect designed our home to face south and allow the sun to heat the home only in the winter months, allowing the sun when it is low in the sky to warm the slate floor and retain the warmth of the sunshine. On warm summer days when the sky is high in the sky our home is designed to prevent the sunshine from shining on the slate, enabling the slate to remain cool. Maples, oaks, walnut and hickory provide wonderful shade on the east and west on hot summer days and the forest on the north protects us from the cold north wind on winter days. Enjoy the custom 3 bedroom/2 bathroom home with hardwood & slate floors, custom oak cabinets and windows that bring the outside in. Enjoy an evening glass of wine on the brick patio and feel the warmth of a fire in the fire pit, surrounded by a professionally designed native landscape. Drive up the meandering lane through the woods and the stress of the world will disappear. Yet you will have fiber optic internet and you’re just 45 minutes from Kansas City International Airport & just over an hour to the Crossroads of Kansas City. Helena Elementary School is only 3 miles away & the conveniences of St Joseph only 17 miles away, on paved road from the end of the lane. Living near nature makes you & your children happier and healthier. Live closer to nature on this special property. We are seeking an owner who shares our love of the land and nature. www.ourfarminmissouri.com
