The
Downes Family has owned this beautiful home and property since 1951. It
was remodeled in 1949, at that time three rooms were removed from the
home. The current remodel started in 2007 after the Matriarch and
Patriarch of our family, John and Connie Downes passed it on to the
next generation of family. Their lives were lived rich in our families
heritage. We want to share our Ranch with others so that many can come
experience the Serenity and Beauty that abounds here.
The
Heritage House at Canning Creek is just five miles from Council Grove.
When you enter Council Grove, you're just 120 miles southwest of Kansas
City or 55 miles southwest of Topeka. But don't come by trail, we're only
24 miles west of the I-335 Kansas Turnpike and 28 miles south of
Interstate-70 (at the crossroads of US-56 and State-177).

Heritage
House is surrounded by 560 acres which is currently being reseeded back
to Grass. 150 acres of the land is still being used as crop land. Our

through her land.
