A rare offering on the east side of Newton city limits, just off blacktop on E 1st, this one-of-a-kind Taos-inspired retreat feels like a world all its own. Nestled among 20 wooded acres with a large stocked pond, rolling pasture, and abundant wildlife, this property blends the warmth of a Southwest hacienda with the beauty of the Kansas countryside. From the stucco exterior to the Saltillo tile floors, exposed beams, wood ceilings, and rustic architectural details, every space reflects authentic character and style. The home is designed for gathering, relaxing, and enjoying the landscape from every angle. The spacious kitchen features vaulted wood ceilings, all appliances included, and opens to a formal dining room. Two large living areas are connected by a beautiful wet bar, creating an ideal setting for entertaining or simply unwinding. The family room is anchored by an adobe-style wood-burning fireplace that creates an unforgettable atmosphere during the cooler months. The primary suite is a private retreat with exposed beams, wood ceilings, a sitting area, oversized shower, and a balcony overlooking the pond and surrounding countryside. Outdoor living is at the heart of this property. Enjoy three separate patio spaces, including two with water views and one featuring a hot tub. A large front courtyard patio captures the essence of hacienda-style living, inviting you to slow down and enjoy the peaceful setting. The land is equally impressive. Twenty wooded acres provide habitat for deer, turkey, and quail, while three seasonal springs wind through the property. The large pond is stocked with bass, bluegill, and catfish and includes a spillway and overflow system. Four paddocks, rural water service to multiple locations, and extensive improvements make the property well-suited for livestock, recreation, or hobby farming. The outbuilding offers incredible versatility with an apartment on one end, greenhouse, brooder house with outdoor access, and abundant shop space. A loafing shed with electricity and water service adds even more functionality. Properties like this rarely become available. Equal parts retreat, hobby farm, wildlife sanctuary, and architectural showpiece, this is a place where every day feels like an escape.
