2259 245th Street, Fort Scott, KS 66701 - Bourbon County

Farms like this 240 acres don’t come available very often, in this particular case the ground hasn’t been available to the public in more than 100 years! Nestled on a tributary of the Little Osage River this land boasts topography and diversity with a mix of creek bottom timber, tillable farm ground, old growth pasture and hay fields. On top of a hill, just where you’d want it to be, sits a very clean and tidy 1970 farmhouse.

Just three miles east of I-69, the farm sits in one of the best areas in an already celebrated county for big deer. With the creek running through it north to south nearly splitting the farm in half, you have a natural travel corridor and rut funnel. The topography and timber makeup along the creek are set up perfectly to create some great wooly bedding cover as well. Take notice of all the walnut trees as well! Two nice ponds sit on the farm and both have given up trophy-sized catfish, while also serving as year-round water for the wildlife. Access from the north and the west with a great trail system already in place makes hunting the farm on any wind easy. Roughly 40 acres of tillable ground and 10 acres of hay production give you a nice income to pay the taxes as well. Farms like this are big enough and this one is set up correctly to be able to grow and hold deer.

The home is 1,880 square feet sitting on a full basement. With 3 good-sized bedrooms and 1 1/2 baths, it's perfect as a full-time residence, a weekend getaway or a fall hunting lodge! With both a living room and a full family room there is plenty of space to hang out and watch the game, and a well-designed kitchen completes the layout. Be sure to take in the incredible views from the front porch! Built in 1970 the house has been lovingly cared for and is ready to move in today. Please note the home is being sold as-is, although there are no known issues or defects. Farms like this don’t come on the market often and this one will create a buzz so call me today for a private tour and let’s go look!
