Description

Bourbon County, Kansas Farmland - Peoples Company is pleased to be representing the sale of 1,700.04 acres m/l southwest of Fort Scott, Kansas, as rarely does an asset of this size and continuous nature come to the market in this region of the state. Conveniently located southeast of the State Highway 3 and State Highway 39 intersection, this highly tillable farm consists of 1,240 leased cropland acres carrying a Productivity Index (PI) of 66.7, and it generates a substantial annual return. Primary soil types include Kenoma silt loam, Bates loam, Dennis silt loam, and Parsons silt loam, all Class 2 and 3 soil types. This Bourbon County, Kansas farm is improved with terraces and has a gently rolling topography that allows water to navigate off of the property. Many of the current tillable acres are being double cropped which increases agricultural production and makes efficient use of land resources with the following crops including, but not limited to corn, soybean, wheat, and grass. The cropland acres are leased through the 2025 cropping season, but please contact the listing agent for additional details.

The balance of the farm consists of grassed waterways and mature blocks of timber with open areas right off of highway pavement and throughout the farm combined with several small ponds and a nearly 2.75-acre pond located in the west central portion of the farm. This land is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. The expansive woodlands and open areas are perfect for hunting with multiple access points, water sources, and varied topography that provide ideal setups for both bow and gun hunting. Implementing food plots and strategically placing tower blinds will ensure excellent gun-hunting experiences. There is an existing hunting lease on the property through the last day of February 2026 generating an additional income source for the farm.

This highly-tillable tract in southeast Kansas with excellent soils and existing leases located along State Highway 39 would make for a great addition to an existing farming operation or a smart investment for anyone looking to diversify their investments for years to come! This property is located in Sections Seven (7) and Eighteen (18) in Township Twenty-seven (27) South, Range Twenty-three (23) East AND Sections Twelve (12) and Thirteen (13) in Township Twenty-seven (27) South, Range Twenty-two (22) East, all in Bourbon County, Kansas.
