Whitson Road, Lot #WP001, Saint Joseph, MO 64507 - Buchanan County

A few minutes from downtown St. Joseph lies a well-rounded, secluded, yet accessible recreational and income producing farm. A great woodlot is just one of the keys to a great hunting property, and the north end of this farm is beautifully wooded. A scenic mix of marketable oak, walnut, maple, and other mature timber covers high ridges with deep valleys. Wildlife sign is abundant throughout the woods, suggesting a high population of deer and turkeys. Another area with incredibly dense deer sign is the wooded depression in the middle of the crop field. With rubs, beds, and trails in every direction, it’s obvious that deer densities are well above average, and big rubs mark the travel paths of big bucks. Beyond growing big bucks, this farm can also produce big cash returns. Most of the crop field is comprised of Class II Nodaway and Colo silt loam with NCCPI ratings in the 80’s & 90’s! A new farm tenant has been brought on for 2018-2020 and efforts are underway to optimize yields while expanding tillable acreage. Cash rent is $12,000 for 2018, based on 100 acres at $120 per acre, with GPS to verify acreage for 2019 and 2020. Additional income is generated by 3.95 acres of CRP paying $541 annually through 2026. Winding along the east edge of the crop fields is the Platte River. This section of the river offers fishing, canoeing, and duck hunting. If you’re really ambitious, you could add a pond or marsh to the farm to create a complete waterfowl destination. Seller may consider an offer to survey and subdivide the timbered portion from the tillable portion. This exclusive farm is shown by appointment only.
