Originally built by the Manz family, this home was designed to honor Kansas farm heritage — and we’re proud to continue that legacy. Our family of six fell in love with the property for its charm, views, and endless opportunities for connection. We’ve added thoughtful touches to make it even more inviting, and we can’t wait to share it with you.
What Makes It Unique
Built in the style of a classic barn, the home features soaring ceilings, exposed beams, and open gathering spaces that capture the warmth and simplicity of country life. Step outside to a sprawling lawn that leads right to the water’s edge, where two docks invite you to fish, kayak, swim, or simply relax with a book and the sound of gentle waves.
Set in the heart of the Flint Hills, Lake Wabaunsee is spring-fed and crystal clear — a rare gem that reflects the sky and rolling green hills around it. Whether you’re watching the sunrise from the upper deck or stargazing at night, this place feels both peaceful and alive.
