1762 NE County Rd 4004 , Butler, MO 64730(Bates County)

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 away from roads and surrounded by row crop farms, the tract has high-quality cover along the Mound Branch corridor and holds many 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. The topography varies from flat fields to steep ridges and valleys to creek bottom. 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 by ATV/UTV or on foot. Multiple good-sized fields could be managed for habitat and/or utilized as food plots. A Redneck blind, additional tower blind, and tree stands are in-place for deer season.

Completed in 2020, the custom-built lodge is like brand new. With 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, the open floor plan and full-height ceilings give this 1,500-square-foot home a large feel. The master suite is on the main level, and 2 bedrooms, a bath, and a common loft space are upstairs. The metal siding and roof will last a lifetime. The structure is highly-efficient with 2'x6' construction, spray foam insulation, and mini-split HVAC units. The beautiful finishes include fir posts, beams, and rails, barn wood and metal custom cabinets, granite countertops, pine tongue and 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 the outside as well as inside. The lodge is on the water utility, and a well is also in place. This farm will be a lovely home or a perfect secluded getaway!
