Listing details for 9101 E 4th Ave, Hutchinson, KS 67501 : Strong and beautiful, this home needs no updates, and sits on 147+/- acres has been carefully crafted with durable materials and a flexible design meant to outlast a lifetime and anything else Mother Nature throws its way. Rising above other contemporary residential design and materials, this home was built to last with its standing seam style roof and vault-like structure designed for resilience, flexibility, low-maintenance and fire resistance. This 4 + 3 bedroom, 5 bathroom home overlooks the breathtaking Sand Hills from the second highest hill in eastern Reno County. Following the winding driveway you reach the building site, selected for security and positioned to improve drainage and minimize erosion. In addition to durability, the home construction materials feature maximum efficiency containing no wood other than interior solid alder woodwork (think no exterior paint/sealing). If you ever dreamed of having a kitchen worthy of a professional chef, look no further! Enjoy a commercial Vulcan gas stove with flat top, complete with range hood & vent system. Designed for the true cook at heart, the commercial freezer and refrigerator are just steps away with room for enough food for entertaining. And not to worry, the home features 480V 3 phase power with your very own pad-mount transformer. Power to the home and shop are isolated from one another. The upper level floor plan boasts a grand entryway, open floor plan and a plethora of natural light. The overhang of the roofline was designed to reduce solar insolation in the summer and allow solar radiation in the winter. The complete veranda features a southeast-facing patio with stamped concrete; perfect for catching a sunrise or sunset. In the center of the home, the wide stair case takes you down into the lower level where there is essentially a whole other home, complete with a full kitchen, bedrooms, laundry, separate garage entry and living space. Outside, the landscaping has been carefully planned to use indigenous grasses, trees and plants and sustainable zero-scaping to reduce the use of fertilizers and water. The property has been managed to improve the natural grasses; most of the east 80 acres has been cleared for the view and fire control. The southwest 40 has been partially cleared to retain wildlife. The northwest pond (one of the 3 ponds) is stocked with largemouth bass. You’ll also be able to raise livestock here on the 3 rotational pastures complete with barn that has 2 horse stalls. The 40x60x14 Sentinel all-steel shop was the first structure built from the highest quality materials including a wind-resistant roof and is fully insulated. The shop has its own full bathroom on its own septic system and a double-run dog kennel. This home was built to last!
