Description

Just a mile from the northwest Lawrence city limit, nestled on 5.5 acres of tranquil Kansas countryside, lies a one-of-a-kind architectural gem: the TOMBO (“DRAGONFLY” in Japanese) HOUSE. Designed and built by renowned architect Dan Rockhill (of Rockhill & Associates), this striking custom contemporary home blends modern design with serene natural elements, offering a peaceful retreat unlike any other.

Surrounded by flourishing native plant meadows and woods, the property features a Japanese-style Tea House, and a series of enchanting “secret” garden spaces. Wander along thoughtfully crafted paths that wind by decorative ponds, restful fountains, and lush layers of flowers and greenery. (The winter landscape of sepia toned seedheads gracing native grasses and flowering plants is equally pleasing.) Throughout the grounds you’ll discover artistic touches—found metal objects reimagined as sculptures or integrated into the landscape in playful, unexpected ways.

Inside, the TOMBO HOUSE reflects the precision and creativity of its architect with clean lines, purposeful materials, and an effortless indoor-outdoor connection. Natural light pours into every room, and the layout offers both openness and intimacy. This 2-bedroom, 2 bath home features a creative primary suite with one-of-a kind fixtures and design. This primary bedroom extends out to a dramatic fly bridge walkway—allowing for a dramatic view over the property.

The large detached garage is divided into two bays and, as currently configured, one is for a car and the other is set up for growing and overwintering plants. With minimal effort the “plant room” could be transformed as a space for an additional car or as a spacious exercise/office area.

Whether you’re an architecture enthusiast, a lover of nature, or simply seeking a peaceful haven minutes from town, TOMBO HOUSE is a rare opportunity to own a living work of art.
