Lake View Barn Home on Lake Wabaunsee-Peaceful Flint Hills Getaway for Families
This barn-style lakefront home on beautiful Lake Wabaunsee offers a truly unique Kansas getaway. Nestled in the rolling Flint Hills and set on a spring-fed lake, it combines rustic charm with modern comfort. Enjoy coffee on the deck, relax by the firepit, or take in stunning sunsets from your private dock. With space for up to 14 guests, two docks, and family-friendly amenities, it’s the perfect retreat for rest, adventure, and making lifelong memories.
Welcome to Lake View Barn, our family’s lakefront retreat where rustic barn design meets the peaceful beauty of a spring-fed Kansas lake.
Originally built by the Manz family, this home was designed to honor Kansas farm heritage — and we’re proud to continue that legacy. Our family of six fell in love with the property for its charm, views, and endless opportunities for connection. We’ve added thoughtful touches to make it even more inviting, and we can’t wait to share it with you.
What Makes It Unique
Built in the style of a classic barn, the home features soaring ceilings, exposed beams, and open gathering spaces that capture the warmth and simplicity of country life. Step outside to a sprawling lawn that leads right to the water’s edge, where two docks invite you to fish, kayak, swim, or simply relax with a book and the sound of gentle waves.
Set in the heart of the Flint Hills, Lake Wabaunsee is spring-fed and crystal clear — a rare gem that reflects the sky and rolling green hills around it. Whether you’re watching the sunrise from the upper deck or stargazing at night, this place feels both peaceful and alive.

What makes this property unique
From the moment you step onto the property, you’re greeted with a peaceful lakefront view framed by the rustic beams of the barn-style home. The covered patio opens to a lush, green lawn that gently slopes down to the water’s edge — the perfect spot for morning coffee, family meals, or quiet reflection as the sun rises over the spring-fed lake.
The home’s barn architecture adds a touch of Kansas heritage, with large windows and open decks that capture the beauty of Lake Wabaunsee. Down by the shore, a two-level dock invites you to relax, fish, or launch a kayak into the calm, crystal-clear water. Mature trees provide just the right amount of shade, and from every angle, the Flint Hills roll softly in the distance, creating a serene, picture-perfect backdrop.
Whether you’re sharing laughter around the outdoor table, watching the kids explore the shoreline, or soaking in the golden glow of sunset over the lake, this space embodies tranquility, family connection, and the simple joy of lake life
