Fantasy Farm Thursday: $4.95 Million Show Barn

“Toto, I’ve a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore,” says Dorothy. “Oh, but you ARE!” says the pant-suited Kansas realtor, who with a flick of her wand shows you into the prettiest show barn ever.

Painted M Ranch is the stuff of fairy tales. The sort of place you might have dreamed of owning when you trotted your Breyer models around on your braided rug as a kid and imagined where your barns and rings and wash racks would go. It’s your super-embarrassing adolescent Trapper-Keeper barn doodles come to life on eighty acres of pristinely developed bliss. And as a grown adult, it’s the dream that feeds your drive to complete grad school, to put in an honest 8-5 grind at a busy office and the promise of all that saved money put to good use. This is the dream, y’all.

Painted M Ranch in Olathe, Kansas is a premiere show barn facility with all the bells and whistles.

According to the website, the equestrian facilities include:

• A main barn with 25,ooo+ square feet of stalls, meeting space, and storage, as well as offices with spectator areas into the indoor arena.
• A 180×180 indoor arena with lighting, heating, audio system,and impeccable ventilation
• 25 stalls with individualized fan systems, top of line floor mats and footing, and automatic fly sprayers (14 of the stalls also have 80′ outdoor runs attached)
• Twelve foot aisles, wash bays, tack lockers, and bathrooms
•  A 7,200 square foot equipment and hay barn for feed and bedding
• Two outdoor arenas
• Two roundpends
• Numerous pastures and dry lots with loafing sheds, lean-tos, and natural shade.
• Kleenex to wipe away your tears of joy

For the humans, the Painted M Ranch features an eye-popping three homes: a main residence and two guest homes. The main residence is a log-style luxury home with all the accessories you’d hope – a huge kitchen for entertaining, loads of beautifully appointed bedrooms, and of course an outdoor swimming pool that is nearly adjacent to a natural swimming pond below the house.

The guest houses are perfectly appointed as well, whether you’re using them for staff quarters, visiting clinicians, or your non-horsey mother-in-law.

The price on this little gem in the Kansas landscape is $4.95 million. You can find out more at the property’s website.
