Totaling 80 acres more or less, situated between Waverly and Burlington just off Highway 75, this is a hard to find sized pasture that would make a great addition to your current cattle operation or an excellent building site. With 40 +/- acres of pasture consisting of hardy Fescue and Native grasses, three ponds and fencing already place, you'll be set for your livestock. The fences on the pasture portion are rated adequate to good on the North, East and South sides and the West fence is rated excellent. The grasses in the pasture portion are mostly fescue with a compliment of Native varieties with the majority being robust Indian Grass. The south 40 +/- acres are currently in CRP featuring Big Bluestem, Switchgrass, Indian Grass and Little Bluestem. This area but could easily be transitioned back to tillable or pasture to best fit your needs if desired. The CRP contract was just renewed in 2024 so this would minimize the buyout expense.

There's one small pond within the CRP portion that could be expanded to create a great view off the back deck of your new home.

Coffey County offers a compelling mix of rural charm, strong agricultural productivity, and outdoor amenities, making it attractive for anyone wanting land for farming, recreation, or a quiet lifestyle. Rainfall in the area averages about 37 inches per year, enough to support major crops like soybeans, corn, wheat and hay without overly depending on irrigation.
At the same time, Coffey County has good transportation access via US‑75 and decent proximity to I‑35, and there’s a local airport with a concrete runway and support services. For amenities, the county gives a lot with parks, recreation centers, lakes, and public fishing spots. John Redmond Reservoir, Coffey County Lake, and several city lakes supply ample opportunity for boating, fishing, camping, and hunting, while state natural areas and wildlife refuges add scenic and ecological value.
Finally, for many people the appeal lies in the lifestyle of low population density, lower taxes, good local services, and a setting peaceful enough for being close to nature but accessible enough that bigger towns and market hubs aren’t prohibitively far.
