On behalf of the Botts Family, L2 Realty introduces an exceptional opportunity to purchase two outstanding properties in Wilson County. Positioned on the Verdigris River corridor just north of Neodesha and south of Altoona, less than a mile from HWY-75, and only a few miles from US-400 which is a major east/west route through southern Kansas. Buyers will have two distinct options: a highly investable 133.5± acre farm with meaningful timber and river frontage, and a 24± acre "small-acreage" Verdigris River tract that checks the boxes for affordability, productivity, and recreation. 

 


TRACT 1 - 133.5± Acres | Verdigris River Frontage + Timber Block + Investable Tillable

Verdigris River Frontage & Water Features

This tract anchors itself with Verdigris River frontage along the north end, providing a feature that's hard to replicate including year-round water, natural travel corridors, summer recreation, and the kind of habitat that makes farms hunt bigger than they look. In addition to the river, a waterway runs through the southern two-thirds of the tillable ground. This creates a natural funnel connecting bedding areas, where you can expect rubs, scrapes, and rut travel year after year.

Tillable Value & Production Upside

At its core, this is a strong tillable investment farm with long, straight stretches that are easy to operate and attractive to both farmers and land investors. The 114+/- tillable acres offer an average NCCPI of 60.1 with Class 2 and 3 soils. The layout supports efficient equipment work, clean field edges, and strong rental appeal-while still offering hunting value you don't typically get on a "pure dirt" farm.

Soils / NCCPI / Acres:

  • Tillable acres: 114+/-
  • Dominant soils: Class 2 & 3 silt loams
  • Avg. NCCPI: 60.1

Timber, Bluff, Habitat & Hunting

The recreational bonus is legitimate. You've got a nice block of hardwood timber built for deer bedding and daylight movement, plus a rock bluff on the far end that gives this farm a truly unique "legacy land" feel. Excellent for exploring, glassing, and creating memories. The river timber and internal waterway connect habitat, making it easy to identify funnels, crossings, and staging areas.

Nonresident Buyer Note: In Kansas, land ownership can create additional hunting permit opportunities. This tract will qualify for one nonresident landowner deer tag.

Wildlife Management Potential

This tract also offers an optional "value add" path: if a buyer wanted to lean into wildlife, select areas of tillable could be converted into native grasses, early successional cover, and strategically-located food plots turning an already-strong farm into high-performance whitetail habitat without giving up the investment fundamentals.

 


TRACT 2 - 24± Acres | Affordable Verdigris River Farm + Elite Soil + Bonus Hunting

River Frontage & Small-Acreage Recreation

This is the tract that opens the door for nearly any buyer. With Verdigris River frontage and a timber strip along the river, it offers real deer travel with trails, sign, and a natural corridor that makes 24 acres feel like more. It's the ideal blend of high-quality dirt plus "after-work hunting" potential.

Soils & Productivity

The headline here is extremely high-quality Verdigris silt loam, the kind of soil that has a reputation for strong yields and consistent performance. The 18+/- tillable acres offer an average NCCPI of 87 with Class 2 Verdigris silt loam. Because it's a smaller tract, the total purchase price stays approachable while still delivering serious productivity per acre.

Soils / NCCPI (Insert):

  • Dominant soils: Verdigris silt loam
  • Avg. NCCPI: 87
  • Tillable acres: 18+/-

The Big Advantage: Low Entry Price + High Utility

This tract is perfect for:

  • First-time land buyers wanting productive ground
  • Investors wanting a smaller, manageable acquisition
  • Local hunters wanting private river access and deer sign
  • Anyone wanting a "do-it-all" small farm with real upside
