Description
Opportunities to own a farm that truly excels in multiple categories have become increasingly rare. This exceptional 260± surveyed-acre property offers the unique combination of dependable annual income, outstanding recreational opportunities, and long-term investment potential that today's land buyers actively seek. Whether your goal is to expand a farming operation, build a premier hunting property, diversify your investment portfolio, or own a legacy farm to pass from one generation to the next, this property delivers on every level. The agricultural foundation of the farm is exceptionally strong. With 167.41± FSA Class II and III tillable acres, the farm is currently leased on a year-to-year cash rent agreement at $165 per tillable acre, producing an excellent ROI income. The flexibility of the year-to-year lease allows a new owner the opportunity to continue the existing income stream, negotiate future lease terms, or operate the farm personally. While the annual income creates an attractive return, the true value of this property lies in the diversity of opportunities it provides beyond crop production. Nearly 0.89 mile of Little Osage River frontage forms the backbone of an exceptional wildlife corridor. Mature hardwood timber, native cover, wooded draws, and productive crop fields create ideal habitat for mature whitetail deer and eastern wild turkey while supporting healthy populations of numerous other wildlife species. The river serves as a natural travel corridor, funneling wildlife through the property while the surrounding tillable acreage provides abundant food sources throughout the year. One of the most exciting features of this farm is its exceptional waterfowl potential. Quality duck hunting properties continue to be among the most sought-after recreational investments in the Midwest, and very few properties offer the natural characteristics already found here. The combination of extensive Little Osage River frontage, favorable topography, Osage Silt Clay soils, and an existing 1.5± acre pond/low water marsh area provides an outstanding foundation for developing a highly productive managed waterfowl property. With strategic levee construction, water-control structures, and habitat improvements, portions of the farm could be transformed into seasonal wetlands capable of attracting significant numbers of migrating ducks each fall. The property's natural drainage patterns and river proximity offer excellent potential for creating shallow-water feeding areas while maintaining the productivity of the farm's agricultural operation. As an added bonus, it is located approximately 2.08 miles east of the Kansas state line, which places it within one of the most respected whitetail-producing regions in the central United States. Southeast Kansas has long been recognized nationally for producing mature, heavy-antlered whitetails, and the habitat extending into western Missouri shares the same genetics, agricultural food sources, and river-bottom travel corridors that consistently produce quality deer. Whether viewed as a productive income-producing farm, a premier hunting destination, or a diversified land investment with untapped waterfowl and whitetail potential, this property represents an exceptional opportunity to own one of southwest Missouri's most versatile farms.
