8005 SE State 116 Highway

About this home

Located near Dearborn in Buchanan County, this 30.5± acre timber tract combines hunting, usable improvements, and future potential, within 30 minutes of St. Joseph and Kansas City. Gated access off Highway 116 offers quick, secluded entry. The farm suits a full-time residence, hunting retreat, or weekend getaway alike. The 1 bed, 1 bath home carries a cozy backwoods feel with vaulted ceilings and warm finishes throughout. An attached pull-through shop with overhead doors on both ends adds functionality for equipment, ATVs, or vehicles. Built for durability, the structure uses heavy-duty steel — including schedule 40 and 80 seamless pipe in the roof, galvanized tubing, and steel stud framing. Additional living quarters are underway above the shop, offering a blank canvas with room for another bedroom, bathroom, and living area to finish to the buyer's taste. Behind the home, a large deck overlooks the timber and an old limestone cellar tucked into the hillside. A steel pipe corral and camper hookup add further flexibility. The home, shop, and a private access trail sit on roughly 10 owner-held acres, keeping entry exclusive and outside pressure low. The trail winds through mature timber to the remaining 20 acres of hunting ground, featuring mature oak, walnut, and hickory. An east-west ridge with a north-side drainage supports stands for multiple wind directions, with several stands and mineral sites already in place. Light historical pressure has produced quality deer harvests, and strong understory sunlight makes for excellent turkey habitat. Surrounded by tillable fields and neighboring timber, this is a private getaway with strong hunting less than thirty minutes from Kansas City.
