Country View — De Soto, KS Acreage Homes

Country View is one of De Soto’s smaller acreage settings — a compact group of roughly one-acre home sites in the 66018 ZIP, in Johnson County. Homes here were built mostly between the late 1980s and 2000. Turnover is light: only four resales closed through Heartland MLS in the ten years from September 2016 through August 2026, so the figures below are directional rather than a deep market read.

Why buyers look here

Buyers who look at Country View are usually after room to spread out without leaving De Soto. Lots run about an acre — larger than a typical in-town parcel — while the homes themselves are conventional single-family houses of roughly 2,000 to 3,000 finished square feet, most with four bedrooms. Because there is no homeowners association and no active benefit district on record, the recurring cost of ownership is essentially property tax, which keeps the monthly carry predictable. The trade-off is scale: this is a small, established pocket, not a large planned neighborhood, so listings come up only occasionally.

Homes, builders & pricing

The four homes that changed hands over the past decade were built between 1989 and 2000 and range from about 2,016 to 2,976 finished square feet, with three to four bedrooms and one-and-a-half- to two-story layouts. Recorded sale prices ran from $290,000 (2017) to $550,000 (2023), with a median near $336,000 across the four closings — a spread wide enough that any single figure should be read as directional given the small sample.

The MLS export carries no builder names for Country View, which is expected for a pocket built out before the 2016–2026 window this data covers. If you want the original builder or the recorded plat details for a specific address, we can pull them from Johnson County records rather than guess. Country View is built out — there is no active new-construction phase here.

HOA

Country View has no homeowners association. All four closings in the ten-year record show $0 in HOA dues, and none carried a special assessment or benefit-district charge. That means there is no dues-funded amenity package — and also no recurring association cost layered on top of the mortgage and taxes. Any covenants or deed restrictions that apply would be recorded at the county; they are not posted here, and we can retrieve them for a specific parcel on request.

Setting & location

Country View sits in the 66018 ZIP within the City of De Soto and Johnson County. De Soto property is served by the Northwest Consolidated Fire District, and the tax bill combines Johnson County, the City of De Soto, the fire district, the school district and the State of Kansas. The acre-scale lots give the setting a more rural feel than De Soto’s in-town subdivisions while keeping city services close. Parcel-level city-limits status can vary lot to lot, so we can confirm jurisdiction for a specific address.

Schools

Country View is served by De Soto USD 232. Across the four recorded sales, the assignment shown is Mize Elementary, Lexington Trails Middle School and De Soto High School. De Soto’s elementary attendance splits between Starside and Mize by address, so confirm the current boundary for a specific home directly with the district before relying on it.

What it actually costs to own here

Beyond principal and interest, the recurring cost of owning in Country View is almost entirely property tax — there is no HOA and no special assessment in the record. The chart compares the neighborhood’s median annual tax with the De Soto citywide median so you can see where it lands.

Estimates only, not a tax quote. Figures are the median of recorded Heartland MLS closings in Country View, September 2016–August 2026 (n=4) — a small sample, directional only. Kansas reassesses annually, so the actual bill follows the county appraiser’s valuation. Country View carries no HOA dues and no special assessment in this record.
