About This Home

Located near Dearborn in Buchanan County, this 30.5A± acre timber tract offers a strong combination of hunting, usable improvements, and future potential, all within 30 minutes of St Joseph and Kansas City. Gated access off Highway 116 provides quick entry and maintains a secluded feel. This farm is well suited for a full-time residence, hunting retreat, or weekend getaway. The existing 1 bed, 1 bath home carries a comfortable backwoods feel with vaulted ceilings and warm finishes throughout. Attached to the home is a pull-through shop with overhead doors at both ends, providing excellent functionality for equipment, ATVs, or vehicles. Construction took place with durability in mind, utilizing heavy-duty steel including schedule 40 and schedule 80 seamless pipe in the roof structure, galvanized tubing on the deck and loft areas, and steel stud framing. Construction has already begun on additional living quarters above the shop, with room for another bedroom, bathroom, and open living area. Behind the home, a large deck overlooks the timber and an old limestone cellar tucked into the hillside. A steel pipe corral also sits near the improvements, offering flexibility for a hobby farm setup or temporary livestock holding. There is also an extra water and power hookup for a camper in this area of the property. The hunting parcel stands out. A defined ATV trail leads through mature timber and across a drainage before opening to the back 20 acres. The timber features mature oak, walnut, hickory, and other species with notable value. The terrain consists primarily of an east-west ridge ending in a defined point, with a wet weather drainage running along the north side. The layout naturally supports multiple stands for north and south winds, while west winds are ideal for catching movement funneling toward the ridge point. Several tree stands and mineral sites are in place and ready for use. Historically light hunting pressure in the area has led to multiple quality deer harvested from the property over the years. The mature timber, combined with sunlight reaching the understory, also creates quality turkey habitat. Surrounding tillable fields, idle pasture, and neighboring blocks of timber provide all the resources that benefit deer, turkey, and upland game in the area. If you're looking for that private getaway with good hunting close to the amenities of neighboring communities and less than a half hour away from Kansas City, this farm checks a lot of boxes.
