Off the beaten path, but not too remote, this magnificient barndominium can be your everyday home, your weekend sanctuary or your hunting lodge. Unassuming from the outside, the wow factor does not kick in until you enter through the front doors and notice that the walls and ceilings are wood (1x8 tongue and groove pine). There is not a single panel of Sheetrock in sight. Anywhere. The towering 18' ceiling of the great room provides the wow factor. Each photo shows the hundreds of details that help you quickly arrive at the realization that this is an opportunity for an extraordinary living experience. The great room's large open space and 18-foot ceilings allow for any combination of uses you desire. The kitchen with hickory cabinets and granite countertops is in one corner, allowing you to configure furniture groupings in the rest of the room as you see fit--casual dining, formal dining, watching tv. Move the furniture to the walls and you have a sizeable dance floor. There are three bedrooms on the main level and two upstairs, all of which have mini splits. With the exception of the smallest main floor bedroom, all have large walk-in closets, some the size of a small bedroom. The upper level also has a family room with a bar, the perfect setting for entertaining after the day's activities. The garage side of the barndominium is impressive in its own right. First, there are 12' x 14' overhead doors that allow you to drive almost any vehicle, mobile home or travel trailer in one side and out the other. At 80' deep, it can accomodate all of your vehicles and equipment. There are thermostats for both the house and garage sides of the home which measure concrete and air temperatures. In the winter the garage concrete floor up to the rafters is heated. There are motion activated lights that illuminate when you enter the garage and turn off ten minutes after detecting no motion, plus high bay LED work lights. There are floor drains and a water spigot. The house has a 200-amp electric panel, the garage a 100-amp panel and there is a 50 amp RV outlet. The splits throughout the house provide summer cooling. Never run out of hot water with the tankless water heater and its 40 gallon storage tank. The boiler is powered by a 1000 gallon propane tank which is owned. The metal roof has no holes in it for venting as all pipes were directed to the outside walls. A custom design. Exceptional craftmanship. Extraordinary home built with love. Come sit under on the covered front porch to experience the best that Kansas has to offer.

It is often said, “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” We say, don’t judge this home by its exterior which resembles a fortress with a 4-car garage. Built in the late 1850s with native limestone and other locally-sourced materials, this marvelous home has a rich history and holds secrets few know. It was bult by French émigré Gilbert Billard who came to the United States to escape the tyranny of the regime of French emperor Napoleon III. The Billard Airport in Oakland is named for Gilbert’s grandson, Philip Billard, who died while serving in France during World War I. There are tales of this home being used as a stop on the Underground Railroad. Escaping slaves would arrive by boat at a Kansas River dike. An underground tunnel would lead them to the basement of the house. There are two covered openings in the brick cellar walls that would support this tale. Fast forward to the year 2025 and become acquainted with the updated version of the Billard Chateau, thanks to a visionary restoration. Passing through the front door into the foyer, your eyes are feasted with the timeless elegance of a two-story spiral staircase worthy of a Hollywood period drama. Off to the left of the foyer is the room originally used as a cozy library which would make a perfect home office. Straight ahead of the foyer is the living room with period furniture, a sleek electric fireplace and a spot for your baby grand piano. Walk through to the dining room and discover the matching dining room table, chairs, china cabinet and buffet. All of this furniture remains with the home. Move onward to the kitchen and be prepared for the wow factor to kick into high gear. The term “remodeled kitchen” takes on a new definition in the Billard Chateau. Pearly white cabinets. Labradorite countertops with gorgeous flashes of iridescent blues and golds. Mother-of-pearl backspashes. Chandelier. Open what appear to be pantry doors and walk through to the chef’s kitchen with its double gas stove, laundry, multiple prep areas and access to the outside. Finally, on the first floor is the “powder room.” It is the only bath on the main floor and is roughly the size of a bedroom. This full bath with an enormous walk-in shower has multiple showerheads that give the vibe of a weekend getaway at an expensive spa. Up the spiral staircase to the four 2nd floor bedrooms. The primary suite has a full bath that rivals the powder room. Appointed with a clawfoot soaking tub, marble double vanity and oversized walk-in shower, it feels indulgent. There are three other bedrooms, one with an enormous closet. The hall bath is equally elegant. The attic is finished as one large room with LVT and a mini-split. Envision it as very clean storage, a hobby room or just a place to relax far away from everyone else. The basement is unfinished, very clean and home to an old stone fireplace. In addition to the utility room and family room, there are two other rooms that would function as very clean storage or a wine cellar. Be sure to look for the slate “B” on the floor in front of the family room fireplace and the wood door with steps leading up to the outside which may have been used as the way out for Underground Railroad visitors. In an older home you expect hardwood flooring and period details. With the Billard Chateau you have not only hardwood flooring and awesome period details, you gain your own Castle on the Kaw on 2.11 acres with river-front views and modern conveniences (including a whole house generator) all bundled up with a storied past. Whether the Billard Chateau ultimately becomes your home, your weekend retreat or your bed and breakfast, you will feel as though you have stepped back in time to an era of elegance, craftsmanship and grandeur. With a dash of modern convenience added, of course.

OPEN HOUSE SATURDAY & SUNDAY, JULY 12th & 13th from 11:30 to 1:30. Absolutely no showings until July 12, 2025. *** There's a kind of life that doesn't come up for sale very often. Life spent tucked back on a treed 7.75-acre estate (Keep in mind any auto valuations only count 3.3 acres!). just off a paved road on the west side of Topeka where your days are filled with glimpses of white tail deer from your deck, afternoon swims in the saltwater pool, night time dips in the hot tub, and quiet sunset evenings on a deck that stretch out longer than they used to. 7921 SW 33rd isn't just a home, it's your place apart. It's where you all will make a life, not just live. It's where you and yours can feel truly off the clock, even if town is only minutes away. The rectangular property spans two combined lots, with a mix of open green space, timber, and a babbling brook. It feels like you've stepped onto a European countryside manor, the grounds are like the setting for a novel. The land rolls softly, once dotted with trails that led horses, and space for your own garden, orchard, or simply the stillness of nature. The circle driveway welcomes you home like it has for decades. Here, you're not in the middle of nowhere, but it will feel like you are. Inside, the house has been completely updated with care and quality, but not flash. Outside you'll notice the solid, honest choices, like TimberTech's premium capped PVC decking(2017), James Hardie siding and trim (2017), and a DaVinci polymer shake roof (also 2017) built to last 50 years. In the kitchen, the layout invites everyone in. This is the kind of house where everyone naturally ends up in the kitchen, and no one's in the way. HVAC was replaced in 2017, so comfort's covered, too.

New genuine leather theater chairs are negotiable, and they fit the room perfectly. There's also a surprise: a dance studio with professional mirrors, sprung Marley flooring, lighting, and barres, easily convertible back into a massive fourth bedroom. The main basement is over newly laid clean porcelain tile floors, ready for whatever life you bring here. The bedroom layout is ideal. All sleeping quarters upstairs, keeping everyone together and the common areas clean. The primary suite offers peace and space, with quiet views of trees instead of rooftops. No big frills, no flashy spa, though, your marble floor and shower does impress, you'll just notice that everything's solid, calm, and intentionally arranged for a quiet life. That's the kind of luxury that matters most. Outside, your life expands. The saltwater pool glows with LED lighting, creating the perfect summer backdrop alongside the spacious patio, expansive deck and artistic outdoor lighting. The 2017 hot tub still hums in the corner awaiting those quiet winter evenings. The landscaping is just enough to manage but still feel surrounded by beauty. The 40x50 outbuilding with concrete floor gives you a place to work, build, tinker, or stash equipment. Add in the 2-car attached garage and 2-car detached with a finished loft space above, and you'll never run out of room for hobbies or helpers. Even with this much land and privacy, you're still just minutes from Wanamaker, I-470, and the conveniences of west Topeka. This spot offers just the right balance, close enough when needed, far enough to forget what you were hurrying about. Because this is a conscientious owners home, the extra touches show in ways that matter, materials, layout, longevity. Here, the days move slower. The stars are easily visible at night. And the house feels like it has always been here, waiting for the right people to fill it with their stories. Maybe this time, that's you.
