Marmaton River Bottom 64
Located in Western Bourbon County, Kansas lies this 64 acre river bottom piece of tillable and recreational heaven. It is located about 20 miles southwest of Ft. Scott, Kansas near Elsmore Lake. Everybody knows about the whitetail and turkey hunting along the Marmaton River but don't sleep on the waterfowl hunting. With the 57 acres of tillable, there will also be a nice return on your investment.
With multiple deep holes of water mixed in with gravel bars and riffles, it will be hard not to waste your spring and summer days sitting on the banks of the river. There is just something about sitting back in a lawn chair enjoying a summer breeze with a line wet in the river. From personal experience, I can tell you the river fishing is second to none.

The 57 acres of river bottom tillable are made up of a variety of silt loams that are prime for any crop you will be putting in the ground. The drier years like this year, the river bottom dirt really shows its value. It is currently being cash cropped, but the new owner will have the option of whatever he/she wants to do with it.
Even though the cookie crumbles with the river bottom tillable acres, the whitetail and turkey hunting is what Bourbon County and specifically the Marmaton River are know for. The deer and turkey sign in the cut corn field were impossible not to pay attention to. Many great bucks have been taken off this farm over the last 25 years. The river bottom is surrounded on multiple sides by thick timber and great bedding areas. The river itself allows for the great pinch points and funnels to hang your stands. Better yet, a well located tower stand could cover a big chunk of the field for the long distance rifle hunting.
With the river frontage and its location near Elsmore lake, do not sleep on the waterfowl possibilities this property provides. With some work, this could be an amazing waterfowl farm. I have personally seen geese feeding in the field. This property is just needs some TLC and a little commitment away from being the duck hunting farm of your dreams.
So whether you are in the market for some great river bottom tillable acres with a good return on your investment or that recreational farm of your dreams, do not overlook this Marmaton River bottom property. To set up your own personal tour, contact Brian today at (620)212-2027 !
