A Mediterranean-Style Landmark on 15 Private Acres
$399,900
Hutchinson sits in Reno County, in the wheat country of central Kansas — 15.54 acres of farmstead land anchored by a genuine local landmark.
Built in 1940 in Mediterranean style, with a red clay tile roof and thick concrete walls, this house is the kind people in Hutchinson already know by sight. Inside, an expansive great room with a large fireplace opens to a formal dining room and a kitchen with island seating and a separate breakfast nook, while five bedrooms upstairs — three with en-suite baths — sit above a finished basement with its own kitchen, living space, and bonus room. An enclosed sunroom leads out to a 20-by-40 in-ground pool and a full pool house with his-and-hers changing rooms. Outside, the working side of the property takes over: a 24-by-62 detached garage with four horse stables, and a 60-by-40 Wick building with two 14-foot doors for campers, boats, trailers, or a real workshop. 5 bd / 8 ba, 5,430 sq ft, built 1940, on 15.54 acres.

Homestead Potential
Water & Infrastructure
The 20-by-40 in-ground pool is the standout water feature here — a genuine backyard retreat with its own dedicated pool house. The home will run on the well and septic typical of rural Reno County; confirm both, and ask about the pool's plumbing, heater, and liner condition as part of your walk-through. Between the pool and central Kansas's steady rainfall, this property is set up for comfortable outdoor living.
Crop & Income Potential
This is turnkey equestrian and hobby-farm ground. Four horse stalls are already built into the detached garage, and the 60-by-40 Wick building gives you a genuine workshop or equipment bay well beyond what most properties this size offer. Fifteen-plus acres leaves room for pasture, hay, or an expanded garden alongside the horses. Whether the plan is a working hobby farm, a boarding operation, or simply space for a big family's animals and projects, the infrastructure is already standing.
Sustainability
Thick concrete walls and a 1940 build that's stood the test of time give this home real structural durability, and the finished basement with its own kitchen and living space adds genuine flexibility — multigenerational living, guests, or rental potential, all without new construction. Between the horse stalls, the Wick building, and the oversized garage, the property's infrastructure supports a working, self-sufficient lifestyle as easily as a purely residential one. The seller has also offered to escrow funds for exterior paint, a meaningful head start on the one cosmetic project the home is asking for.
The Boundaries
A property this large and multifaceted rewards specific homework. Ask for the exterior-paint quote and confirm the escrow arrangement in writing, since that's a real credit toward day-one curb appeal. Get a current survey to confirm the 15.54-acre lines and the horse stable and Wick building placements, and have the well, septic, and pool systems inspected. If a business use — boarding, events, an equestrian operation — is part of the plan, check Reno County zoning before you count on it. None of this dims the property's appeal; it's simply the diligence a landmark home with working outbuildings calls for.
Beyond the Property Line
Local Flavor & Small-Town Character
Hutchinson is the seat of Reno County, in the heart of central Kansas wheat country, and this home is genuinely part of its local landscape — a recognized Mediterranean-style landmark. The town is home to the Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center, one of the world's premier space museums, and hosts the Kansas State Fair each September, drawing crowds from across the region. It's a community with real civic identity, close enough to Wichita (about 45 minutes) for big-city amenities while keeping its own small-city character.
Agricultural Resources & Neighbor Networks
Kansas State University Research and Extension keeps a Reno County office in Hutchinson, with soil testing, equine and livestock guidance, and Master Gardener programs well suited to a property with horse stalls already in place. Reno County sits in serious wheat and cattle country, so feed stores, farriers, large-animal vets, and equipment dealers are all close by — genuinely strong support for an equestrian or hobby-farm operation.
Outdoor Recreation & Natural Surroundings
Sand Hills State Park, with its unique dune prairie ecosystem and hiking trails, is just outside Hutchinson, and the Arkansas River offers fishing and paddling nearby. The Kansas State Fairgrounds host year-round events beyond the fair itself, and the surrounding wheat country is prime for horseback riding straight from home. Between the property's own pool and stables and the recreation nearby, there's plenty to do without going far.
