Property Description

Located less than one mile from Vermillion, Kansas, this exceptional 157 +/- acre property offers a rare combination of productive farmland, recreational opportunities, and an incredible 17 +/- acre watershed lake. Properties that blend income-producing agriculture, fishing, waterfowl hunting, and trophy whitetail potential are seldom offered on the open market, making this a unique opportunity for farmers, hunters, and outdoor enthusiasts alike.

The farm features 80 +/- acres of actively cultivated cropland currently planted to a corn and soybean rotation. With a weighted average NCCPI rating of 68.3, the tillable acres provide strong agricultural productivity and will be offered with open tenancy for the 2027 crop year, giving the new owner complete flexibility to farm the ground themselves or establish a new lease agreement. An additional 12 +/- acres of hay ground have been well cared for over the years and provide additional agricultural value.

The centerpiece of the property is the impressive 17 +/- acre watershed lake managed by the Vermillion River Watershed District. This scenic body of water offers outstanding fishing opportunities with populations of largemouth bass, crappie, and channel catfish. The lake is large enough to comfortably accommodate small boats and creates a beautiful backdrop for the property. During the fall and winter months, the lake attracts waterfowl, providing excellent hunting opportunities and year-round recreational enjoyment.

For the hunting enthusiast, this area of Marshall County has long been recognized for producing mature Kansas whitetails. The combination of quality cropland, water, cover, and surrounding habitat creates all the ingredients necessary for exceptional deer hunting. With minimal habitat improvements, this farm could easily be transformed into a premier whitetail destination while maintaining its agricultural income.

A former homesite on the property offers additional possibilities for future development. With an existing well, electric service available at the gravel road, and amazing views overlooking the surrounding countryside, the property presents an excellent opportunity for a rural home, hunting cabin, or weekend retreat.

Properties offering this level of diversity are becoming increasingly difficult to find. Whether you're seeking a productive farm, a recreational retreat, a future homesite, or a combination of all three, this remarkable Marshall County property deserves a closer look. The true beauty, scale, and potential of this farm can only be fully appreciated by walking the property and experiencing it firsthand.
