Auction Date: TUESDAY MAY 2, 2023 6:00 PM * Auction Location: 1305 HIGHWAY 77, FLORENCE, KS 66851 * PROPERTY DESCRIPTION: 25+- acres along the Cottonwood River with timber and productive bottom ground currently in brome. The original J.K. Williams Homestead includes a 2-story home with 3 beds, 1 bath and a more recently built, 3 car detached garage. The limestone outbuildings, joined by the roughly coursed limestone wall, add to the historic feel of this property having originally been used as “smokehouses” through the late 19th Century. The homestead, however, is most widely recognized by the bank barn and stone foundation. The barn features two large doors providing access to the lower level from the brome bottom. The middle level offers multiple stalls for livestock, horses or small machinery and the uppermost level has been used primarily as a hayloft. The original homestead was built in 1880.
