Description

Large, contiguous land holdings near major metropolitan areas are increasingly rare. The Bettels Ranch is one of the most significant recreational and investment opportunities to come to market near Kansas City in recent years, defined by its scale, exceptional water resources, and diverse wildlife habitat.

The Bettels Ranch is one of the most significant recreational and investment opportunities to come to market near Kansas City in recent years, defined by its scale, exceptional water resources, and diverse wildlife habitat. Spanning 2,425 acres, the ranch is located just 45 minutes south of Overland Park and seven miles from U. S. Highway 69, with paved access via two state highways. With access from four sides and an extensive internal road and trail system, the property offers excellent accessibility while maintaining privacy and seclusion. The ranch features an impressive water footprint, including nine deep strip pit lakes totaling approximately 129 surface acres, along with sixteen additional lakes and ponds adding another 116 acres. These waters provide outstanding trophy bass and crappie fishing and enhance the property's beauty. Located within a strong wildlife corridor, the ranch supports abundant populations of whitetail deer, turkey, and waterfowl. Its proximity to La Cygne Reservoir, the Marais des Cygnes River, and the Marais des Cygnes Waterfowl Area further enhances its recreational appeal. Waterfowl hunting is a standout feature, with consistent duck populations supported by diverse habitat including timber, marsh, and creek corridors. A hunting lease through 2028 provides income of $62,500 annually in 2026 with scheduled increases, while allowing owner hunting rights. The ranch also supports a productive agricultural operation, with approximately 1,850 acres in 23 pastures supporting an estimated 800 head of cattle. The seller would consider leasing back grazing acreage. Additionally, 150 acres of tillable ground, partially irrigated, generates $25,000 annually, with additional farm and pasture lease income. Improvements include a 55’x100’ Quonset building and a 30’x40’ metal building. Additional features include a manure agreement enhancing soil productivity.
