Description

Gated Country Farmhouse recently remodeled minutes from Derby and Wichita surrounded by farmland, trees, seasonal pond, and wildlife. Located on a paved road but with a rural setting and complete privacy. The Sanctuary is our family property with walnut grove, over 500 trees planted from all across the United States and is surrounded by natural prairie and farm fields. The main farmhouse sits 1/4 off the main road and is hidden from sight. It’s a little slice of heaven. Surrounded by natural prairie and farm fields with giant cottonwood, sycamores, oaks, maple, black walnut and red buds making for a beautiful setting. Wildlife is abundant at the Sanctuary with wild turkeys, deer, mallards, ducks and so much more. (Absolutely no hunting or shooting!!!) Here the sound of silence or perhaps an occasional moo from cows, or the howl of coyotes at a harvest moon. The stars shine like diamonds. We farm the property and when in season, you can pick your own seasonal vegetables, flowers, fruits and more. There is a firepit and BBQ for outdoor evenings with family and friends on a seasonal basis. The farmhouse was recently renovated. It rustic, quaint and charming and extremely clean. The three bedrooms offer a King size, and two Queen beds. The country kitchen offers all the latest amenities and keeps a country feel. The great room is comfortable and leads out to the back deck where everyone gathers to enjoy the beauty and surroundings. There is a 54 Smart TV with numerous channels. You will have to use your hotspot on your phone for internet service (works great) since the internet companies can t seem to figure out how to get satellite /cable out our way. There is a large mud room with washer/dryer and area to put a animal kennel but you will need permission first.

The property is gated and completely fenced for privacy. Do not try and get to the property with out a reservation due to our security. No hunting or shooting allowed, this is a sanctuary! Please respect our home and property. It’s a very special place only few can experience and enjoy.

This was our second stay here and home is clean, quiet and surrounded by country. The pond was unfortunately gone due to the drought, but the country quiet is great. Close to Derby and manager is close and responsive. Great place.

Property manager was a delight + made our stay great We didn't realize that we were expected to meet her there for access, so that caused a hiccup, but she was very understanding about it + made us feel comfortable The property is lovely + inviting There are a few quirks to the house, but we would happily return Much better than a hotel!

What a wonderful place to relax and unwind. With few properties available close to Derby this one was a great find. The kitchen was well stocked with anything you need to cook a great meal. The cozy front porch was one of my favorite places to wake up and have a good cup of coffee and to watch the lightning bugs at night! We definitely plan on returning.

This is my second 3 week stay at the Derby House and I absolutely leave here replenished and refreshed. This cozy place is outfitted perfectly and accompanied by the most lovely property manager. I don’t have a single complaint. Will absolutely be back for a third visit.

We had an amazing stay! The property is just gorgeous, lots of room for active kids to run around and explore. We used the property as if it was Grandma & Grandpa's house since Covid limited our ability to do the stuff we normally do with all the kids. We were able to have several big family meals, play games and do arts & crafts. You're not far at all from grocery stores or restaurants and the owner is super fast to respond with any questions you may have. Highly recommend the property!!! We hope to be back again!! Our only suggestion would be to give directions naming Chet Smith Rd vs. 87th so you don't end up in the wrong place. Also, having the lights labeled would makes things a little easier.
