A modern architectural gem with industrial design. Located in West Lawrence minutes from Rock Chalk Park, Clinton Lake, and downtown Lawrence. Space for your group with kitchen/living room areas on both levels. Sleeps nine, up to 12 with pull-out twin and queen beds.
The house sits on the crest of a hill and is aptly called "the Vista" due to the views in all directions. Experience the sights and sounds of the country, including nearby wildlife: coyotes, cows, roosters and more.
This is a rural property with a farmland feeling. There are two adjoining neighbors with acreage on either side. One neighbor is a large house in the distance. The neighbor on the other side is nearer and has some farm animals including dogs, chickens and a rooster. You may go to sleep to the sounds of coyotes and toads and awake to deer in the front yard and roosters crowing.
