New ListingSome properties are measured in acres. Others are measured in generations. Just north of Burlington, Kansas, along a prominent ridge overlooking the Neosho River, lies a remarkable piece of Coffey County history-originally known as Schaffer Hill. Today, the original stone entry welcomes you to an S-shaped drive-said to honor the Schaffer family name. As the road winds up the hill, it reveals open pasture, productive crop ground, a flowing stream, stocked pond and exceptional habitat for livestock, horses and wildlife, along with approximately 800 feet of frontage on the Neosho River and exceptional hunting opportunities. The modern 2 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom home offers main floor living as well as many upgraded features. A 30' x 60' divided outbuilding with concrete floor provides ample space for equipment, storage or projects, with one section heated and cooled for year-round use. An original wooden windmill, designed and built by the Schaffers, once pumped water from a hand-dug well into a riveted steam-locomotive water tank. That ingenious system supplied water to the homes and barn. Nearby, the original summer kitchen still stands, complete with its large stone fireplace-once used for cooking and canning without heating the main house. Hand-built stonework and distinctive rock features remain throughout the property, each one reflecting the craftsmanship, determination and foresight of those who came before. This is more than beautiful Kansas land-it's your access to hunting, fishing, boating and recreation, with John Redmond Reservoir just over a mile away and several other recreational lakes nearby, including Wolf Creek Reservoir, as well as convenient access to an airport. This is Schaffer Hill-a legacy worth preserving.
