Raccoon Valley Fisheries

Property Description

This is an opportunity to purchase not only 58 acres of Cass County real estate, but also a thriving business with a large customer base. Raccoon Valley Fisheries has been in existence since 1963, with the current ownership growing the business since 1999. Most people who have stocked a pond in Cass, Jackson, Johnson, Bates, and Henry and many other counties including those in the state of Kansas have been using this resource for years. Their annual “Koi Days” draws thousands of people to the property each year. Consisting of 28+ ponds, multiple holding tanks, outbuildings, equipment, a home, and tillable ground, this is a rare opportunity. Overlooking the front ponds, you will find a small apartment style cabin equipped with septic, water, and electricity for guests or employee housing. One of the reasons this business has been so successful is the quality of water used in the holding tanks which comes from a 580’ deep well with components ideal for raising fish while keeping them extremely healthy. The seller currently occupies the home on the property, but it could very easily be used as a full time residence for an employee or manager for an absentee owner. The seller will be available post close to assist the buyer and would be open to staying and helping the new ownership with the transition.

From a recreational standpoint, one of the ponds has not been in use for the hatchery and is stocked with largemouth bass. The current owner has had very good success with both deer and turkey hunting as well. This property is located in an excellent location just Southeast of Pleasant Hill, providing great access to the KC metro area. An additional feature is that the Rock Island Bike Trail makes up the Northern border of the property. An equipment list is available upon request. Contact Joey Purpura for a private showing!
