15260 Lake Road 12
Imagine waking up every morning and seeing paradise from your bedroom windows. Imagine relaxing evenings sitting on your patio and watching the sunset reflecting on the water. Imagine summer evenings spent on sunset cruises and December evenings watching the eagles, and geese, and Christmas lights reflected on the lake.
It won’t matter what season it is, because you can actually live in this home year round and still make it to work on time with a reasonable commute to anywhere in the Kansas City Metro. This 4 bedroom home is a short 15-20 minutes from Olathe or Overland Park, 10 minutes to downtown Gardner, Kansas, and everyday shopping needs such as the grocery store, hardware store, or Wal-Mart. Places of worship are plentiful in the City of Gardner, Kansas, as are activities for children through the nationally ranked schools and the city Parks and Recreation Department.
The special features of this home and property are the 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, with one of each on the main level, and 3 bedrooms and 1 bath on the 2nd level. The Master Bedroom has an enviable walk in closet and beautiful lake view. Hardwood floors, fireplace with an insert, galley kitchen and laundry room all on the lake level. Energy and maintenance saving features include the polymer siding and tankless water heater.
The detached 4 car garage is on the second tier and sits on about a half an acre of property in the center of this circle shaped road. Both the amount of land and the 4 car garage are unique features to Gardner Lake, and are a great compromise for the couple who wants both land and water!
Living at a lake has its drawbacks as well. Instead of traveling to friends’ homes for summer parties, everyone will want to come to your house where they can swim off your dock, fish out of your boat, or go canoeing or kayaking or pontooning! Then again, you won’t have to drive anywhere when the party is over. Only you will be able to decide if that truly is a drawback or an advantage!
Enjoy the Sunset Year Round at this Gardner Lake home

Do you enjoy cooking or baking?
This home is wonderful for the person who loves to cook or bake. There is plenty of counter and cabinet space for mixing, cooling, chopping, or rolling. The laundry room, at the end of the kitchen extra space for storing those bulky pots and pans that won’t fit in regular cabinets, or for extra pantry space if you buy in bulk.
Don’t worry about wet feet and swim suits tracking all over the hardwood floors.
The laundry room has its own entrance and tile floors so you, your friends or relatives who are coming in from the lake won’t leave the outdoors on the beautiful maple floors in the living and/or dining room.
Worried about family or friends who have difficulty with stairs?
The gradual steps from the road to the patio are lined with a lovely handrail. There is also a bedroom and bathroom on the main floor for overnight guests.
Do you enjoy birding or watching other wildlife?
In the summer, you can see everything from bluebirds to hummingbirds, bald eagles to kingfishers. In the winter, Canada geese, chickadees, and tufted titmice are in abundance. Other birds that you might see are Downey and red-headed woodpeckers, mourning dove, Carolina wrens, purple, yellow and house finches. There are great blue herons that also call Gardner Lake home. Mallard ducks, and all kinds of diving water fowl.

There are always things going on at Gardner Lake and we encourage residents and people who are thinking of becoming residents to stay abreast of those issues and activities. Two of those issues are City of Gardner ownership of lake frontage, the ability of the residents to purchase that lake frontage, and the current sewer situation.
It is important to know that not all homes include property all the way down to the water’s edge. When the lake was platted back in the 1930s, the lake frontage was not included in the platted lots and was deeded to the City of Gardner. In the last few years, the City of Gardner has agreed to sell the lake frontage to the homeowner whose property abuts the city property. The property owner is responsible for having the frontage surveyed, a legal description written and the filing fees associated with the purchase. For information on the current cost per square foot of land, you can visit the Gardner Lake Website.
Currently all homes around Gardner Lake, both first and second tier homes, are either on septic systems or on holding tanks. A benefit district has been created to bring sewers to Gardner Lake. You can find out at what stage the project is by visiting the Gardner Lake website or the Johnson County Wastewater website.
What about Water quality?
The answer to this question varies depending upon your source! I can personally tell you that as I write 
this, when the weather permits, I swim, let my dogs swim, and watch other people swim and fish in Gardner Lake. It is a lake, not a pool, with a muddy bottom. We have lake weeds and lots of wildlife. I know people who will not swim in the lake because they like to see the bottom of where they are swimming. To them, the lake is not very clean. Again, it is a lake, not a pool. The lake is still a water resource for the City of Gardner, although currently there is no pumping station. The City of Gardner currently pulls water from Hillsdale Lake.
Worried about Home Owner’s Association Fees at a lake within the Metro area?
Stop worrying! Gardner Lake has no formal Home Owner’s Association. There is a voluntary advocacy association called the Gardner Lake Association which all lake residents and owners are encouraged to join. The dues are $25 per year and the dues go toward projects that benefit the residents of Gardner Lake. One such example is the spring clean-up weekend when the Gardner Lake Association has 2 dumpsters placed for residents and association members. There are 2 meetings a year, and social activities throughout the year. One of the biggest events is the annual 4th of July Boat Parade.
