Desirably located on 58 Highway between LeRoy and Colony, these are neighboring parcels with the Hobert tract on the east side of Arkansas Rd. and the West property is just across the road to the west. These offerings will fit diverse buyer interests, whether you’re looking for an existing home in the country, expanding your farm operation with additional cropland, desire a recreational escape to relax or an excellent building site with pavement and utilities nearby, you’ll find plenty to like here! These properties are being offered via online auction beginning at Noon on 1/21/2025 with a dynamic closing beginning on 1/23/25 at 10:00 a.m.

Tract 3 is a combination of Tracts 1 and 2 which consists of the Hobert residence, good metal building on 77 +/- acres and is located at 12864 Arkansas Rd., Colony, KS.  This is a beautiful parcel of land featuring productive cropland with upland soil varieties, two ponds and a heavily timbered draw bisecting it from north to south. According to FSA records, there’s approximately 61 acres of cropland on this tract and the soil types consist mostly of good Class 2 Woodson silt loam. Ag producers will appreciate the pavement frontage and easy drives to multiple grain markets including our friends at LeRoy CO-OP and the ethanol facility at Garnett.  The home is a modular build by Advanced System Homes of Chanute and was constructed in 2004. It encompasses 1,694 sq. ft. on the main floor and consists of 3 Bedrooms and 3 Bathrooms with an unfinished basement. The basement does have some structural issues. The Broker and the Seller recommends that potential buyers have an inspection done so they are comfortable with what they are bidding on as the property sells as-is with no warranties or guarantees. The detached garage was constructed in 2003 according to County records and measures 30’X50’ with 3 garage bays. This is a spacious and good quality building for storage of vehicles and equipment.

This property also offers multiple amenities outside such as plenty of room for pets and livestock with the addition of fencing. There’s a thick grove of trees to the north of the home providing wind protection as well as a visual and noise barrier from Highway 58. The area to the west of the metal building would be an excellent location to add fencing if you desire to keep livestock on the premises. There are multiple excellent potential building sites to choose from on this tract near the two ponds that are tucked into the hardwood timber. While both ponds are sizable, the north pond is the largest and appears to be the deepest. The location adjacent to Highway 58 with utilities nearby add to it’s attractiveness for those looking to live in the country but still wanting convenient commutes to the their jobs in Iola, Burlington or Garnett.
