160th St & Timber Rd, Marion, KS 66861

We are honored to represent the Calvert Family Partnership with the offering of these ultra-productive and efficient cropland parcels situated on the Cottonwood River in Marion County, Kansas located just south of Marion via online auction. This is the auction that both the discerning farmer and investor have been awaiting. There's no excuse to sit on the sideline here if you're searching for top-shelf riverbottom tillable with premium soils. If you're going to buy farmland, you might as well buy the best, as opportunities of this magnitude don't present themselves often. Answer the door as opportunity is knocking loud and clear! The auction will start at 12:00 p.m. on 10/2/24 and end on 10/4/24 with a dynamic closing beginning at 11:00 a.m. on Tract 1, 1:00 p.m. on Tract 2, and 4:00 p.m. on Tract 3.   Flanked by the Cottonwood River adjacent to west boundary, Tract 1 totals 141 acres more or less and is a farmer's dream with top-shelf soils and is highly efficient with the majority of the waste only being to the centerline of the river. According to FSA records, the cropland acres total 133.54 with the soils being composed of Verdigris silt loam (68.21 acres) contained in the majority of the west half and Chase silty clay loam (72.04 acres) in the east half. There is some recreational appeal as well for the investor who enjoys pursuing waterfowl and whitetails while getting some return on investment from the premium farmland.    Access is also excellent as the property is located on a good County road with multiple routes to pavement nearby, allowing for convenient commutes to multiple grain markets at Marion and Hillsboro amongst others.    If you are an investor and need a farmer to operate it, the current farmer has provided excellent care and stewardship for the property for over 20 years. He is an excellent operator and has expressed a strong desire to keep renting the property if the new owner would like to discuss. If you have been waiting to spend your money on high-quality cropland, this could very well be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to buy this incredible parcel! It's time to act. Call to setup a tour or for more information.    Tract 1 is being offered both individually as well with the adjoining Tract 2 with the property selling in whichever format garners the most proceeds.
