RUNNING DEER FARM — AN EXTRAORDINARY 40-ACRE PRIVATE RETREAT WITH ARCHITECTURAL PEDIGREE, AUTHENTIC CRAFTSMANSHIP & UNPARALLELED PRIVACY. Tucked within a 480-acre gated rural community and less than an hour from Greater Kansas City, this remarkable estate offers a rare combination of natural beauty, exceptional craftsmanship, recreation, and complete privacy. At the heart of the property is an authentic Bob Timberlake-designed Hearthstone Log Home, showcasing massive hand-hewn timbers, authentic dovetail construction, soaring cathedral ceilings, approximately 3,400 square feet, 5 bedrooms, 3 baths, and two fireplaces. More than 700 square feet of covered wraparound porches overlook the stocked fishing pond, private dock, rolling pasture, mature timber, and spectacular triple-falls water feature—creating an idyllic setting for morning coffee and sunsets. The craftsmanship continues with a magnificent approximately 3,000-square-foot New England-style post-and-beam barn, featuring a loft, full bath, oversized garage bays, and an abundance of versatile space for collectors, family weddings, or entertaining. A charming Studio Cottage, grilling area, fire pit, wooded walking trails, private dock, and multiple outdoor gathering spaces further enhance this extraordinary retreat. Approximately 25 acres of open pasture and 15 acres of mature timber provide exceptional flexibility for equestrian pursuits and outdoor recreation. A picturesque gated entrance and long private drive create a memorable arrival and set the tone for what lies beyond. Thoughtfully integrated improvements, fiber internet availability, mature landscaping, exceptional flowers and plantings, and the captivating waterfall create a property that feels worlds away while remaining conveniently accessible to Kansas City. Opportunities combining this level of architectural character, setting, privacy, and lifestyle are exceptionally rare. Gated. Private. Authentic. And unlike anything else.
