Hunting Along Crooked River with Build Site

Property Description

This 47 +/- acres in Ray County won’t last long! Offering an outstanding natural design ideal for hunting and recreation with a secluded build site tucked up in the hills overlooking the West Crooked River. The river laces through the center of the farm with large mature timber on all sides, totaling 26 +/- acres of timber, and a balance of 21 +/- acres of grassland split between four separate fields, creating a truly incredible design for an outdoorsman. Beautiful long-lying bottom fields stretch alongside the road and creek, as the road continues across the creek to the east side, allowing for a private drive leading to a build site overlooking the timber and creek bottoms to the west.

One of the best features of this farm is how large it feels and hunts for a smaller acreage tract. Three of the four fields are hidden from the road, tucked deep within the property and surrounded by timber, creating natural pinch points, multiple stand locations, and strategic access routes for varying wind directions. A standout feature is the centrally located two-acre field surrounded by mature timber, with the West Crooked River bordering its west side. This hidden pocket offers the perfect setup for a food plot with the ability to quietly access a stand by traveling the creek while staying concealed and out of the wind.

Another feature is the agricultural value this property offers. Fully fenced with gated access, this property could be an extension of a livestock operation. The river bottom fields totaling just over 10 acres have an NCCPI of 74 and create productive hay ground or could be used for cropland. The topography of the remaining fields allows every field to be used for hay or cropland and would provide areas of adequate shade for livestock.

The combination of strategic field layout, mature timber, river frontage, and build site potential makes this a dynamite recreational property and investment buy-and-hold opportunity. Whether you’re looking for a hunting property, hobby farm, or future homesite within an hour of Kansas City, you do not want to miss out on this one!
