    Rare opportunity to own 21.95 acres in the highly sought-after Goddard School District, just west of Wichita on the east side of Lake Afton. This meticulously maintained custom-built ranch offers over 4,000 finished square feet with 6 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, a 3-car attached garage, and a full finished walkout-at-grade basement, plus a pre-inspection already completed for added peace of mind. Perfectly positioned just 20 minutes from Wichita and Eisenhower National Airport, this stunning property combines convenience with the tranquility of country living. Located directly across from Lake Afton Recreational Park, enjoy easy access to boating, fishing, camping, and scenic wooded trails just moments from your doorstep. Every sunrise and sunset feels like a private show with breathtaking views overlooking the east-facing backyard, private 1-acre pond ready for fishing, and 8 acres of untouched natural habitat complete with a mowed 1/3-mile walking path for peaceful outdoor reflection. Designed for both entertaining and everyday comfort, the home features an oversized composite deck, spacious covered patio, and expansive picture windows showcasing private forest views. The beautifully appointed kitchen offers custom hard maple cabinetry, oak flooring, double wall ovens, warming drawer, abundant storage, and opens to adjoining living and hearth rooms with soaring 10-foot ceilings. A main floor bedroom with private exterior access makes an ideal home office setup. The guest quarters in the basement offer privacy with a separate door, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, including a Jack-and-Jill arrangement with private sinks for each bedroom, plus a cozy theater area, recreation space, rough-in for a wet bar, and an impressive 30x10 tornado shelter that doubles as additional storage. Additional amenities include horses allowed, main floor laundry with folding table, wash sink, and space for a full-size refrigerator or freezer, whole-house BEAM central vacuum system with floor suction dust pan, 36-inch interior doors, wired generator hookup, fresh gravel driveway, and an oversized garage complete with a garden sink/dog washing station. Spend evenings around the rustic fire pit by the pond while deer, wild turkeys, herons, ducks, and hummingbirds make regular appearances, and enjoy star-filled skies untouched by city lights. This extraordinary property offers far more than a home-it delivers a lifestyle centered around peace, beauty, and connection with nature.
