Property Description

Prime development opportunity on the northwest edge of Lawrence, Kansas on I-70 and K-10 Highway that boasts 155 +/- acres of contiguous land that is currently platted in 16 deeded tracts with Douglas County. The property sits in a coveted target area on the north side of the KTA mile marker 197 on/off ramps along N1800 Road (Farmers Turnpike) and E850 Road (K-10 Highway) and is paved. In addition to the south road frontage, East 900th Road and North 1850 Road are well-maintained graveled roadways and encompass the north and east sides of the property, making this a highly accessible area in a high-trafficked area. With opportunities for commercial/industrial/residential, this site holds it all.

The 155 +/- acres are currently made up of 71 +/- acres of tillable row crops currently planted to corn and run the west to northeast side of the farm. Soil types of Martin, Woodson, Vinland, and Sogn, make up the foundation of the farm and are considered Class III, II, and VI. The 50 +/- acres of native pasture run primarily along the southeast to northeast of the farm and is leased for cattle grazing for the 2025 season. There is an interior cross-fence separating the tillable from the pasture with multiple gate entrances. 30 +/- acres of native grass waterways run throughout the property wrapping the tillable acres and are hayed annually. There are 5 ponds on the tract, one large pond in the southwest corner and one large pond on the north end of the farm with the remaining ponds being in average size and condition.

The property is currently zoned as agricultural land with Douglas County. There is a 4” and 6” water line with Douglas County Rural Water District #6 along road fronts with meters available. The electricity provider for the property is divided between Evergy on the west and Freestate Electric Co-op on the east. The property has been surveyed and drafted for plat plans for 1-70 and K-10 business parks with Landplan Engineering. All mineral rights are intact and transfer. The elevation on the property goes from 1,062 feet at the highest point in the northwest to the lowest point of 981 feet on the east. The landscape is gentle rolling hillsides with a beautiful 360-degree canvas.
