About this home

Located less than an hour from the Kansas City metro, outside of Butler in central Bates County, Missouri, is this premium 94+/- acre offering of diverse recreation. With private access on a dead end road, the farm is peacefully secluded, and offers exclusive privacy. Laying out away from roads and surrounded by row crop farms, the tract has high quality cover along the Mound Branch corridor and holds a large number of deer. The ground is known to be home to trophy whitetails as well as many turkeys. The incredible combination of size, topography, and diversity is remarkable as-is, but also makes this farm ideal for implementing habitat and wildlife management. Approximately 67 acres are wooded and 27 open. The woods consist of diverse species including walnut, a variety of oaks, hickory, and cedar, among others. The timber has not been evaluated, but is believed to contain many logs of value. Two gorgeous ponds, each over an acre, are stocked and offer great fishing as well as spectacular scenery. Mound Branch is a beautiful rock-bottom winding creek perfect for splashing and skipping rocks. An extensive trail system provides access throughout the property. A Redneck blind and tree stands are in-place. Completed in 2020, the custom-built lodge is like brand new. With three bedrooms and two baths, the open floor plan and full-height ceilings give this 1,500 SF home a large feel. The metal siding and roof will last a lifetime. With 2x6 construction, spray foam insulation, and mini-split HVAC units, the structure is highly-efficient. The beautiful finishes include fir posts, beams, and rails, barn wood and barn metal custom cabinets, granite countertops, pine tongue & groove car siding ceiling, stainless appliances, and hickory-framed doors. The massive wood-burning fireplace is constructed of stone from the property, and can be loaded and enjoyed from outside as well as inside. The lodge is on the water utility, and a well is also in place.
