Property details:
Nice opportunity to purchase high quality farmland with nice building sites or development potential, located in a high demand area just 10-minutes South of Gower, MO. This Buchanan County farm has benefited from longtime family ownership and 15-years of soil conservation and stewardship practices provided by the current farmer. I drove the entire farm last winter, and would describe terraces, tiles, and grassways to be in excellent condition. The farms tillable acres offer a NCCPI rating of 78.7, nearly 7 points above the Buchanan County average. You'll be bidding on 166+/- taxed acres, of which the FSA Office considers 144.78+/- to be cropland acres. The farm is open for the 2025 farm season, meaning the new owner will have the option of farming it him or herself, leasing it to the current farmer, or leasing it to a new farmer. If you're looking for a place to build your dream home within 30-minute of St. Joseph, or Kansas City, the property offers lots of hard surface road frontage with easy access. Rural water and electric are available on State 116 and 130th Rd. SE. Access is outstanding, jump on 116 East, connect to 169 South, and you will be at Smithville Lake in just 20-minutes. Note, there is a written easement that grants access off HWY 116 on the South side of the farm. The East side of the property has extensive hard surface road frontage off 130th Rd. SE. Other amenities include: a shed to keep your toys and mowing equipment dry, a nice pond, and timber draws for deer hunting. I encourage investors, farmers, and developers to do your due diligence, consider the possibilities, and be prepared to bid your price.
