Description
Quality farms that combine productive cropland, exceptional wildlife habitat, and long-term investment potential have become increasingly difficult to find. This outstanding 166.21± acre property offers a rare opportunity to own a highly versatile farm in one of southwest Missouri's most desirable agricultural and recreational regions. Whether your objective is dependable annual income, exceptional hunting, or a property with tremendous future upside, this farm offers a combination of features seldom found in today's market. The agricultural foundation is exceptionally strong. Approximately 115± FSA tillable acres provide dependable annual income while showcasing a diverse blend of productive soils. The farm is dominated by Barden silt loam, representing more than 90 acres of the property, a highly regarded soil known for its productivity and consistent crop performance (see map). Additional quality soils, including Parsons silt loam, further enhance the farm's agricultural capability. Currently leased on a year-to-year cash rent agreement at $165 per tillable acre, the property provides reliable annual income while allowing a new owner the flexibility to continue the lease, negotiate future terms, or farm the acreage personally. Beyond its agricultural productivity, the farm offers exceptional recreational appeal. Positioned immediately adjacent to the Little Osage River corridor, the property benefits from one of western Missouri's premier wildlife travel routes. Mature hardwood timber, wooded draws, native grasses, and productive cropland combine to create outstanding habitat for mature whitetail deer, eastern wild turkey, and a variety of other wildlife. The nearby river corridor naturally funnels wildlife through the area, while the abundant food sources found on the farm help attract and hold game throughout every season. One of the property's most exciting attributes is its outstanding waterfowl development potential. Recreational farms capable of supporting a productive managed duck hunting property continue to command strong demand, and this farm possesses many of the natural ingredients experienced waterfowl managers search for before investing in habitat improvements. Approximately 30 acres of Osage silty clay occur across the lower portion of the property. This soil is especially desirable for wetland development because of its exceptional ability to retain shallow water while supporting the growth of beneficial moist-soil vegetation—one of the most important natural food sources for migrating ducks. Combined with the property's gentle topography, existing 1.5± acre pond and seasonal marsh, and immediate proximity to the Little Osage River, these characteristics create an outstanding foundation for developing a highly productive managed waterfowl impoundment. With strategically designed levees, water-control structures, and habitat enhancements, portions of the farm could be transformed into seasonal wetlands capable of attracting substantial numbers of migrating ducks each fall and winter. The property's natural drainage patterns and location immediately adjacent to the Little Osage River place it within an established migration corridor utilized by a variety of waterfowl species. The result is an opportunity to create a premier duck hunting property while preserving dependable agricultural income. Adding even greater appeal, the farm is located approximately 2.08 miles east of the Kansas state line, placing it within one of the nation's premier whitetail-producing regions. Southeast Kansas has earned a well-deserved reputation for producing mature, heavy-antlered bucks, and the adjoining landscape of western Missouri shares the same fertile soils, abundant row-crop agriculture, and river-bottom habitat that consistently produce exceptional deer year after year. Whether your vision is a productive income-producing farm, an exceptional hunting property, or a diversified land investment with long-term appreciation potential, this property delivers a rare balance of agricultural productivity and recreational opportunity. Farms offering productive tillable acreage, quality wildlife habitat, premier waterfowl development potential, and dependable annual income rarely become available. This is an outstanding opportunity to own one of southwest Missouri's most versatile farms.
