There are properties you tour... and then there are properties you feel. At 12517 S. Harris, life slows down, settles in, and expands in all the right ways. This isn't just another Kansas City estate. It's your sanctuary--your retreat--your adventure. Set on 20 peaceful acres just 25 minutes from Kansas City, this Lee's Summit oasis delivers Pacific Northwest serenity from the moment you enter the winding drive. Five stocked ponds, private walking and golf-cart paths, wide-open pastures, and soaring bald eagles set the tone. Beyond the 8,100 sq. ft. primary residence, the estate offers three beautifully crafted outbuildings featuring distressed ponderosa pine, standing-seam metal roofs, and clean architectural lines. The brand-new 5-stall barn is ready for livestock, while the expansive workshop fits 8 cars, a boat, an RV, a full workshop, an indoor pickleball court, plus a 1-bed/1-bath guest suite. A finished lofted garden barn adds flexible space for events, an art studio, a gym, or a dream playhouse. Inside the main home, color-rich interiors, warm woods, floor-to-ceiling windows, updated lighting, natural stone fireplaces, and a chef's kitchen with 10 gas burners make every day feel elevated. The main-floor primary suite offers sweeping views and a spa-like bath with steam sauna and soaking tub. Oversized secondary bedrooms--two with private living spaces--and a hobby room "made of Etsy dreams" ensure comfort for all. Multiple media areas and a full bar bring year-round fun. And while this estate feels super private, it's just a 10-minute drive to popular downtown Lee's Summit and close to top-rated schools, shopping, and everyday amenities--giving you the best of all worlds. With its shimmering ponds, crisp air, wooded paths, and endless opportunities for connection, recreation, and rest, this natural oasis is a one-of-a-kind property to explore and enjoy for years to come.
