Located just outside of Mapleton, KS on the Little Osage River in very Northern Bourbon County, KS, lies this 87 acres of bottom land tillable and recreational bliss. With its location on a paved rd and only and hour from Kansas City, its perfect for the investor and for that individual looking for a great all around recreational piece.
Lets start with the river bottom tillable. The property consists of approximately 67 acres of highly productive class 1 and class 2 soils. It consist of verdigris silt loam, dennis silt loam, mason silt loam, and leanna silt loams. The owner has always share cropped with the current farmer and would like to keep this years corn crop. The current tennant does a great job and would like to stay in place if possible. It has been on rotation of soy beans and corn over the last 5 years.
Northern Bourbon County has long been known for its giant whitetails, this property will be no different. The river dissecting the property allows for the perfect corridor for Kansas giants to roam the neighborhood from property to property. Even though this farm doesn't have a ton of cover, it does have neighborring properties that do. It also has the food and the corridor that connects the neighborhood together. I could imagine the rut and early season being fantastic for whitetails. The river bottom will allow for great pinch points and funnels to hunt these Kansas legends when the time gets right!
The most interesting aspect of this property is the high end waterfowl potential. It is located about 15 miles southwest of the Marais Des Cygnes Wildlife area. This consists of 7650 acres of some of the mostly sought out waterfowl hunting the great state of Kansas has to offer. With the Little Osage River cutting through the middle of the property, the water is there. The NE 36 acre agricultural field is surrounded on 3 sides by the river. Not only that, for drainage purposes, the current owner had a lot of dirt work done to create a bowl for the property to drain into. Walking up on this part of the farm, all I can think about are the marsh possibilites. With its location and its natural terrain, waterfowl dreams can be made!
The turkey hunting on this property is also pushing high end. Over the last several years, there has never been a time when multiple birds aren't roosting on the farm. Luckily enough, there have usually been multiple roosting locations.
The Little Osage River also provides many aspects of recreation. From fishing to canoeing or kayaking, this property will provide it all. There is a great mix of riffles and bigger, deeper holes of water. The fishing is indeed fantastic!
So whether you are an investor looking for a high end river bottom tillable farm to park your money for the next several years or a recreational buyer wanting a little kick back while you play, this Bourbon County property checks all your boxes.
