Description

Tucked just outside of Hesston on 9.62 acres, this one-of-a-kind property offers a rare opportunity to own an established wedding and event venue alongside a private residence. Whether you are looking for a unique lifestyle property, an income-producing investment, or both, this one stands apart. The home, originally built in 1952, offers a functional two-story layout. Inside, you’ll find beautifully refinished hardwood floors throughout, an abundance of natural light, and charming architectural details. The main floor provides an inviting living area with a wood burning stove, adjacent to a formal parlor area with gorgeous original doors. The kitchen is finished with granite countertops, a large center island, and an abundance of storage. The main floor bath has been completely remodeled, featuring a soaker tub and separate subway-tiled shower, new windows, granite counter tops, and laundry shoot. Two large bedooms complete this level. Upstairs, you'll find three additional generously sized bedrooms with barrel ceilings and walk-in closets. Downstairs, discover a second full bath, sizable shop area, and lots of additional storage. The setting is just as impressive as the home itself. The 9.62-acre property is private, immaculately landscaped, and thoughtfully maintained. Mature trees cover a substantial portion of the land, while approximately two acres of irrigated lawn create a park-like setting. A spring-fed creek runs through the property, adding to the natural beauty. The true highlight of the property is Emma Creek Barn, a fully operational event venue with a strong local presence and consistent booking history. The barn, built in 2013, offers approximately 2,100 square feet of finished, heated and cooled space, with HVAC added in 2024. Inside, you’ll find a full kitchen, two half baths, and a 12x44' loft, all designed to accommodate events with ease. A large overhead barn door opens directly to the outdoor pavilion, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor experience. A 10x50' covered porch allows your guests to enjoy the surrounding beauty of the land. A dedicated parking lot is located on the opposite side of the creek, allowing for privacy and separation from the main residence. Additional outdoor features include a firepit, two garden areas, newer stone stage with a wood header, and multiple outbuildings for storage and utility. With proven income and a full year's worth of future bookings transferring with the sale, this is a turnkey opportunity for a buyer looking to step into an established business. At the same time, the acreage, setting, and improvements make this a compelling option for those seeking a private rural property with something truly special. Properties like this are few and far between - offering both lifestyle and income potential in one package.
