PROPERTY: Opportunities like this don’t come around often. This 15 acre property just 15 minutes from Butler offers an incredible combination of river frontage, buildable land, utilities, and total freedom—all priced well below market. With almost 900 feet of frontage on the Marais des Cygnes River, this property delivers the kind of natural beauty and recreational potential that’s getting harder and harder to find. Whether you enjoy fishing, kayaking, wildlife watching, or simply relaxing by the water, the river becomes a daily part of life here. The land is already set up for use and enjoyment, featuring multiple cleared pad sites, all safely above the floodplain, giving you excellent options for building a home, cabin, or multiple structures. All utilities are in place, with power available along the road, plus an on-site water well and septic system, saving you significant time and expense. One of the standout features is the complete lack of restrictions—no zoning and no deed restrictions—so you can build, place a mobile home, camp, or develop the land exactly how you choose. The property also boasts 1,444 feet of public road frontage, providing easy access and flexibility for future plans. Surrounded by nature, the land supports abundant deer and wildlife, making it ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, hunters, or anyone seeking peaceful country living. When it’s time to leave this outdoorsman’s paradise and stock up on supplies, there’s plenty of retail in Butler, including a Walmart, just 15 minutes up the road.

For Sale by Owner: We are investors, and are selling this lot For-Sale-By-Owner. You do not need to submit your offer through a real estate agent, and in our experience we close transactions more quickly and easily by having our dedicated transaction coordinator work directly with the Title Company and Buyers. We will also both save money on commission/fees by cutting out agents as the middle men. However, if you feel strongly about working with a Realtor, then you're welcome to have them contact us on your behalf.

Why Are You Selling It So Cheap? We are often asked why we price our properties at below market value, and the answer is really simple: because we can, and that's our core business model. We are investors who purchase properties at a large volume and deeply liquidated rates, and by passing this discount on to our buyers, we can sell land quickly...and more of it. In fact, our average property only lasts 2-3 weeks on the market (vs. industry average of about 6 months).

Disclaimer: We attempt to provide detailed, accurate and up-to-date information in our listings, in order to help our buyers to the best of our ability. However, it ultimately remains the buyers responsibility to perform their own due diligence and double check any details that are of significant importance to you including acreage, utilities, buildability, and approved/allowable usage for the property. We are happy to help however we can.
