This 281.60 Acre diversified Franklin County Farm is the ideal combination ranch. You'll find 113 acres of tillable ground currently in bean production farmed by the land tenant. "No-till" practices have been used for several years to reduce erosion, increase water infiltration and to help the soil retain organic matter for nutrient cycling. You will find meticulously maintained terraces w/ recently added drain tile. Brome grass buffer strips bordering all the fields are in place for expert land management & ease of access to all areas of the property any time of the year. Next-to-new 6 strand, 4 barb wire fences enclose 120 acres of brome & native grassland. You will be pleased with the well-designed alleyways & multiple gates for rotational grazing between the two pastures. The ability to navigate this parcel could not have been better designed. The balance is made up of 3 ponds, small creek, scattered trees & waterways. On the NE corner sits the old homestead on asphalt w/ a 3 bedroom, 1 bath house in rough but usable condition. There are multiple outbuildings for potential restoration or reclaimed lumber use. The property is serviced by rural water and one water well in use plus electricity. With nearly a mile of road frontage, you have options for subdividing or building a home in the future with sweeping scenic views. Don't miss this fantastic opportunity to own a dynamic tract w/ multiple uses situated in a desirable location between Lawrence, Ottawa and Kansas City.
