210 W 7th Ave - Ashland Grade School 43,800 SF Specialty Building Offered at $488,320 CAD in Ashland, KS 67831

The former Ashland Grade School is now available for purchase following the completion of the Kansas legislative first right of refusal process. This unique property presents a rare opportunity for redevelopment in the heart of Ashland, Kansas. Located just one block from Main Street, the historic school building is situated on the southwest corner of a 2.25-acre lot, offering ample space and flexibility for future use. In addition, a 0.5-acre parcel directly across the street is available and may be purchased separately or in combination with the main property.
All land associated with the property is eligible for division, and interested buyers are encouraged to submit offers for any portion or all of the available acreage. The building may also be sold independently along with only the land it currently occupies, providing options for a wide range of redevelopment visions.
This beautiful historic structure has a layout well-suited for renovation, including existing electrical and plumbing design that simplifies redevelopment, wide hallways, and space for elevator installation supporting ADA compliance. The building’s location places it just blocks away from the Senior Center, the City Library, and Main Street shopping. It also boasts the only auditorium in Clark County—ideal for cultural, community, or commercial use, including senior living, apartments, mixed-use development, community center, business offices, or housing.
The property is listed on the Kansas Historic Registry, making it eligible for both state and federal historic tax credits. These programs can provide substantial financial support to buyers interested in preserving and adapting the building for new use. Additional grants and funding opportunities may be available through the Kansas Department of Commerce and other agencies.
