Private 8.35-acre hillside homesite opportunity in southern Jefferson County, offering the kind of land people hope to find and rarely see at this size: wooded, scenic, usable, and full of possibility. Located along Wellman Road with convenient access to the Highway 59 / US-24 corridor and I-70/Kansas Turnpike, this rural residential property features mature trees, rolling terrain, valley views, a private pond, a barn/outbuilding, a long driveway, established access, rural water, a newer septic system, and propane heat. The setting feels tucked into the countryside while remaining an easy drive to Lawrence, McLouth, Perry, Oskaloosa, Tonganoxie, and surrounding communities. The existing 1945 farmhouse-style home needs significant renovation and is being sold as-is. However, unlike raw land, the property already includes an existing residence, utilities, a driveway, and established access, giving buyers a practical starting point as they consider renovations, land improvements, or future homesite possibilities. Bring your builder, vision, and due diligence. Buyer to verify all zoning, building, rental, outbuilding, pond, septic, utility, and future-use options with Jefferson County and applicable authorities.
