Our 10-acre acreage (m/l) in Holt, Missouri, is for sale. Location is 19108 Scott Rd. The pasture has been laying fallow -- this is the second summer. It's producing well to support livestock and the earthworm count has dramatically increased. There are apple trees, grape vines, dozens of comfrey plants, lots of mulberry, three large swales two installed with dozens of fruit and nut trees on them along with supporting nitrogen fixers. There is also the start of an additional orchard with a few dozen fruit trees. The swales are harvesting water very nicely and allowing it not to run off but to percolate into the soil. The property sits just off the Holt exit on I-35 so it's just minutes to Kearney, Liberty or Kansas City. Though the Google Earth images shows a hightunnel (greenhouse) on the property, that will be relocated to our homestead in Kearney. There is municipal water, electric, and gas at the paved road to the east. There is already a driveway permit to start your building project quickly. A long and narrow property approximately 330 feet wide and about 1,300 feet deep as measured from the paved surface of Scott Rd. The land’s length is set in an east-west orientation. Upon entering the land from the road, it has a gentle rise up to that gives way to a long slope of pasture to a flat area at the western boundary. The property is essentially the highest point of the surrounding landscape. Excellent for a wind generator. The land is bounded by the county paved road on the east. On the south, the property shares a common boundary with neighbors who keep their own horses. The two properties share a well-kept common fence for about 900 of the 1,300 feet. A small wooded area with a seasonal creek is the private property on the west boundary. To the north, the property shares a common boundary with a private residence with a fence along the entire length. The land was once described as Midwest oak savanna, but was tilled in the early years of the 20th century (tobacco operation) and then several decades ago was kept in pasture and hayed once or twice a year. In an average year, spring hay cutting yields about 13-14 large round bales. Underneath the topsoil is heavy clay. Specifically, the composition is Armster loam with 5-10 inches of loam, 10-18 inches of clay-loam and 18-31 inches of clay at the higher elevations of the property; and, Shaprsburg silt loam with about 18 inches silt loam and 18-55 inches of silty clay loam for the sloping and lower elevation portions of the property. Current pasture profile is a mixture of warm and cool season grasses with early-succession forbs including some patches of red and white clover. Brush areas include most early-succession forbs common to the region. Osage orange, wild grape, poison ivy, bitter sweet (Celastrus scandens), as well as mulberry dominate the hedgerows and fence lines of this and adjacent properties. There are five concord grape vines on trellis that are producing well each year. There are several dominant shingle oak trees (Quercus imbricaria) 40-50 feet tall as the feature trees on the farm. There is also a pair of mature red mulberry trees standing at least 40 feet tall. All the interior trees have been limbed up so a tractor can drive underneath. We’re firm at $75,000.
