Beautiful views, secluded location, close to town

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.

Please note that when hiking on the property you may encounter snakes and bugs. Because the Vista is outside city limits, it is dark at night. Flashlights are available throughout the house.
