Escape the noise and retreat down a long, secluded driveway to a truly rare 147+/- acre southeast Kansas property that combines a well-appointed country home, fully equipped livestock operation, and one of the area’s most exciting waterfowl development opportunities. This is a property that works hard, hunts hard, and lives comfortably.
Built in 1990, the home offers 1,450 square feet of open-concept living on the main level, thoughtfully positioned to capture breathtaking Kansas sunrises. Double sliding doors open to the back porch, creating a private front-row seat overlooking your own land, livestock, and wide-open skies. The home features 3 spacious bedrooms and 1.5 baths, while the 725 square foot partially finished basement serves as an ideal entertainment space, complete with a built-in media center for hosting friends and family.

The surrounding 40 acres are perfectly suited for livestock and hay production. A fenced one-acre pond is equipped with an external waterer to protect water quality from cattle. Well-designed working pens with water access lead directly to the chute and barn, allowing for efficient calving, doctoring, and daily operations. Everything about this setup was designed with usability in mindless time working, more time enjoying.
Outbuildings are extensive and functional, including a detached two-car metal garage, a 30’x60’ farm building with electric and water, a 40’x72’ open barn for hay and equipment storage, and a 16’x36’ utility shelter for livestock protection. Two barns are fully powered and plumbed, making this Chanute-area homestead a rare blend of privacy, infrastructure, and production capability.
Beyond the ranch headquarters lies the crown jewel: 107 +/- acres of premier waterfowl, deer, and turkey habitat along Turkey Creek and the Neosho River corridor. This is the kind of property serious waterfowl hunters dream aboutand rarely get a chance to own.
The land lies nearly dead flat, with approximately 77 +/- acres at 01% slopes and another 26 acres at 02% slopes, creating exceptional potential for water control. Multiple natural low-lying areas and consistent water sources set the stage for developing 34 high-end marshes, stretching from Turkey Creek through the interior and toward the north end of the property.
Whitetail deer and turkey hunting are equally impressive. Mature hardwood timber, abundant water, nearby tillable ground, and natural travel corridors provide everything wildlife needs to thrive. The property lies in Kansas Deer Unit 11, a unit well known for producing quality bucks year after year.
From an agricultural standpoint, the soils add even more value. The farm is primarily made up of Class III Osage silty clay and Class II Lanton silt loam, making it well-suited for hay production, grazing, or additional agricultural uses.
Location further strengthens the appeal. By following the Neosho River just 16 miles, you reach the Neosho Wildlife Area, reinforcing this region’s reputation as one of southeast Kansas’ premier waterfowl destinations.
Whether you’re searching for a secluded country estate, a fully functional cattle and hay operation, or a top-tier hunting and waterfowl development property, this 147 +/- acre offering delivers a rare combination of comfort, productivity, and recreational upside that is seldom found in one place.
