0000 State Highway KK, Adrian, MO 64720 - Bates County

Bates County is often overlooked for its recreational potential, but it won’t take you long to appreciate that potential once you step out onto this farm located a few miles east of Adrian. With blacktop roads right to the gate, you’ll appreciate the ease of access to this property, situated just 45 miles from the Grandview Triangle in south Kansas City, with good highways the entire way.

The land is a combination of open pasture, young brush, and mature hardwoods, offering multiple options for management, whether your interests include hunting, cattle, horses, or row crops. Perimeter fencing is in good condition, and the farm lays well, with gentle slopes and highly desirable silt loam soils on the western two-thirds of the acreage that are categorized as prime farmland by NRCS. So whether you want to grow corn and soybeans or big deer, this farm can do the job. Moving east, the farm transitions into creek bottoms and mixed hardwood timber, providing plenty of good habitat and travel corridors for mature bucks and strutting turkeys. Dozens of black walnut trees draw nutrients from the rich soils, offering income potential now, or possibly even more if allowed to continue growing for a future harvest.

A sizable barn in the northeast corner of the property has all kinds of possibilities, from hay and equipment storage to a hunting camp headquarters tucked away from the primary hunting areas. And in case these 90 +/- acres aren’t enough to satisfy your hunting and recreational proclivities, Settle’s Ford Conservation Area is a mere 12 miles to the east and offers several thousand acres of excellent game habitat.

If you’ve been waiting for a nice farm within an easy drive of Kansas City, you definitely need to give this one a good look. If you’d like to know more about this amazing property, or if you’d like to schedule an appointment to see it, call Land Agent Scott Sudkamp at (417) 321-5427 today.
