Country Home with Acreage and Shop Buildings Near KC

27.67 Acres, 4-Acre Lake & 12,384 Sq Ft of Shop Space

Properties that offer a comfortable home, nearly 28 acres, a private 4-acre lake, and over 12,000 square feet of machine shed space are hard to find—especially this close to Kansas City. Located at 8165 E Highway 116 in Lathrop, Missouri, this 27.67-acre property combines country living, recreation, and business potential in one package. Whether you’re an entrepreneur needing workspace, a recreational buyer looking for room to play, or someone wanting the flexibility to live and work from home, this property delivers options that are increasingly difficult to find.

Spacious Home with Flexible Living Areas

The home offers approximately 3,000 square feet of finished living space with four bedrooms and three bathrooms. The main level includes a primary suite with private bathroom, two additional bedrooms, a hallway bath, a kitchen with eat-in dining area, and a large family room overlooking the property. A front room currently used as a dining space provides flexibility for an additional living room, sitting area, office, or other use depending on your needs.

The walkout basement expands the home’s functionality with a second kitchen featuring butcher block countertops, a fourth bedroom, a third full bathroom, and a theater-style entertainment area complete with projector and oversized screen. Walkout access leads directly to the attached two-car garage. Outside, a covered front porch and large rear deck provide excellent spaces to relax and enjoy the surrounding views.

12,384 Square Feet of Shop and Storage Space

One of the property’s most impressive features is the 12,384 square feet of combined outbuilding space. The centerpiece is a 40’x60′ insulated steel-frame shop equipped with concrete floors, water, electricity, propane heat, wood stove heat, an office, and a bathroom. An oversized door provides additional clearance for larger equipment, vehicles, campers, or trailers.

Additional improvements include two separate 60’x60′ buildings and a 42’x72′ building, creating exceptional flexibility for equipment storage, workshops, inventory, hobbies, agricultural use, vehicle collections, contracting businesses, or future expansion.

Private 4-Acre Lake and Outdoor Recreation

The 27.67-acre property features mostly open rolling grassland with scattered timber along portions of the boundary. At the heart of the recreational appeal is a private 4-acre lake, offering opportunities for fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding, and enjoying the outdoors without leaving home.

The acreage provides plenty of room for ATV riding, side-by-side adventures, horseback riding, and general outdoor recreation. Finding a privately owned lake of this size combined with usable acreage and extensive improvements is hard to come by in Northwest Missouri.
