Unimproved Land Gower

Some properties sell you on a house. This one sells you on a life. Tucked behind a grove of mature trees on 5.46 private acres, this 2024 barndominium trades streetlights for sunsets and traffic for the sound of your own stream. A stocked pond sits steps from the door, the hot tub is already in place on the 30x30 covered patio, and the deer don’t care what the market does — they’ll be out there either way.

Built with metal siding and a metal roof, it’s engineered to spend your weekends on the land, not on maintenance. Inside, the kitchen means business: a ZLINE 48” professional gas range with 8 burners, dual ovens, convection, and a built-in griddle, anchored by a walk-in pantry. The open living space flows straight to the patio, so the grill is never more than a few steps from the stove.

The main-level primary suite is a retreat in its own right — a wet-room bath with a freestanding soaking tub, dual rainfall showerheads, full-body spray jets, and floor-to-ceiling marble-look tile. Two HVAC units keep every zone comfortable on its own terms, and upstairs there’s a family room sized for a media setup, a game table, or whatever comes next.

Barndominium construction means exterior load-bearing walls, so future changes — adding a room, reconfiguring the layout — are simpler and more affordable than in a traditional build. The 45x50 outbuilding brings three RV-height overhead doors, electricity, and a heated shop. Bring the boat, the RV, the project car — there’s room for all three.

Minutes to Smithville Lake. Minutes to KCI. But once you’re past the trees at the end of the driveway, it doesn’t feel like minutes to anything.
