The beautiful property which spans over 33 acres in the surrounding area also features pond, a stone circle and a grass airstrip
The Fulkersons warn, however, that there are 'industrial components' inside the home which could still 'pose a danger' if guests are not mindful
Please be observant and careful in these unique surroundings.... Children should be supervised at all times,' the Fulkersons warn
More than being a place for people to stay when passing through Kansas, Fulkerson said he has a bigger vision for the site as a travel destination
