Custom Lake Home on a Prime Location with Superior Amenities
Located nestled in the heart of the lustrous Flint Hills of Kansas, sits the coveted Lake Kahola. A private spring-fed lake that holds the most beautiful year-round scenery and shoreline, top-end fishing that everyone in the angler world raves over, open non-crowded water that allows endless boating activities, and a place a peace far away from the hustle and bustle. A place to recharge, reconnect, and build memories that will last a lifetime. Only 2 families have owned this lot since the early 1940’s and there is a reason why. It is a rarity for any property to be available to purchase on this lake, and even more difficult to find a property on the south side, then top it off and try to find a property on the deepest water with the greatest views, and this lake home has it all, and is the unicorn that comes around once in a lifetime.

Cresting the hilltop that overlooks Lake Kahola, head west on the paved S. Kahola Kahola Road. Take the turn in at Lot 117, just past the smoking cowboy. The setting not only provides a secluded feel, but endless shade and protection. There are multiple entry points to the residence, with the main level and the 2nd level. One step inside the front door, you will feel how special this property is and the level of build and craftsmanship that went into it. From custom bamboo flooring throughout to top-end finishings and all in between, this residence holds every want or need one could imagine. The kitchen is complete with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances with a gas oven and overhead vent, a pantry, custom cabinets, and a water filtration purifier. The views throughout the main level are just as incredible as outside! The living room provides a peaceful space with a fireplace. The bunk room is just off the living room with 2 full beds, allowing space for 2-4 sleepers. There is a full bathroom with tub and shower on the main level, along with a spacious bedroom. Upstairs, not only is the space stunning, but the views are too! From relaxing with reading books, playing games, or watching movies on rainy days or evenings after coming in off the water, the family room holds endless opportunities. There is a full bathroom with a shower just off the laundry room, with a washer and dryer located on this level as well, with 2 double door entry. Head to the master suite, complete with a closet, a walk-in closet, and a master bathroom with a walk-in shower. The home is constructed from ICF, making it not only incredibly efficient but incredibly resilient to weather while being low maintenance. While in the home, appreciate how impeccably quiet it is. The air flow throughout the residence is notable as well. Pairing the ICF with the heat and air system, you can breathe easy. The roof is a 50-year metal grade. The residence is on a well, which is located on the south side of the home. This well has never gone dry in the history of the lot and is used without filtration for cooking, bathing, and drinking if you choose, as you are in some of the most clean and pure country here, away from chemicals and impurities.
Outside take note of the well-thought-out deck space, which utilizes the lay of the land while capturing as much space as possible. Also, notice the low maintenance needs of the entire property. No mowing and self-sustaining flowerbeds, which allows you more time to enjoy the reason to be at the lake! With the location tucked behind the hillside, you are protected on the windy days with calm waters. The floating dock and boat house are the places to be and where you will spend the days away. Complete with cool-touch concrete so bare feet don’t get hot, easy entry wet steps, a swim ladder, kayak racks, seating, and an automatic boat lift. The boat house is 28’ in length. The wake break is a thing of beauty and keeps the entire swimming area protected and calm. Below the water, the anglers will appreciate the fishing habitat that was carefully constructed, and when you drop a line in, be ready, as it will be a fun-filled fishing derby. With Lake Kahola being a private lake, the boat numbers are low, just like the lake lots, which allow you to be on the water without feeling constricted with boat traffic. There is a marina located on the north side with all the wants and needs, along with fuel access on the water. Lake Kahola holds several events annually throughout the year, along with their sought-after 4th of July with a fireworks show worth writing home about, and can be seen with a clear line of sight right from the subject property’s deck! Sunday church is held on the north side of the lake in the community shelter house during the summer months. The sunrises and sunsets at the lake are the most stunning things to witness and be a part of. Sitting out on the dock watching the sunrise with a line in the water, the birds singing in the background, and tranquil, calm waters on the horizon.
From spending the summer days away on the water playing, to fishing throughout the year in one of the best spots on the lake, to cozying up over the fall and winter months watching the wildlife and waterfowl, there is always a highlight no matter what time of year! With all the property has to offer and the opportunity to even have a chance to purchase on Lake Kahola, this lake home is truly a special one and one that lifelong memories will be made at, and is one to tour in person to appreciate all it holds.
