Vaughn-Roth Land Brokers is honored to represent the Lee and Charla Dixon Trust with this exceptional land offering via online auction. The property totals 233 +/- acres and is located along the Verdigris River Valley between Madison and Lamont in northern Greenwood County. Known locally as the Norton Farm, this family farm has been a fixture in the area since Kansas became a state, with the property being held in the Norton Family since 1857 (nearly 170 years). Featuring beautiful rolling topography (nearly 120’ of elevation change), quality river-bottom cropland, big deep Oak timbered draws, a gorgeous pond, fantastic views for miles overlooking the Verdigris River Valley, a home with rural water and fiber internet, a nice newer shop with concrete floor and electrical service, and blacktop frontage, this property is a truly exceptional farm. Whether you are looking for a top-of-the-line hunting property, a highly tillable crop unit with productive soils, pasture for grazing your livestock, or a home in the country, this property has it all and should be moved to the top of your list!
This farm totals 233 +/- acres and will sell via online auction and be offered in multiple parcels. The auction will open at 12:00 p.m. on March 24th and end on March 26th with a dynamic closing beginning at 10:00 a.m. for Tract 1, 12:00 p.m. for Tract 2 and 2:00 p.m. for Tract 3. Tract 1 is located south of KS-58 HWY, totals 88 +/- acres, and is a highly tillable crop unit with a 1600sf home and good hunting appeal. Tract 2 is located north of KS-58 HWY, totals 145 +/- acres and includes deep timbered draws, rolling grasslands, a beautiful pond, and a newer shed with concrete floor. This parcel features exceptional hunting with multiple big deer killed on the property. Tract 3 is the combination of Tracts 1 and 2 and totals 233 +/- acres. After Tract 1 and Tract 2 bidding has concluded, their bid totals will be added together and an escalator of $50,000 will be added to the bid. This will be where the bidding for Tract 3 will begin. If a bid is received on Tract 3 with the escalator in place the property will sell as a combined 233 +/- Acre unit.

Tract 1 totals 88 +/- acres and is a highly tillable cropland unit located along the Verdigris River Valley with a 1600sf home and good hunting appeal. The parcel has good access with paved KS-58 HWY running along the northern and eastern borders of the property. Whether you are looking for a highly tillable cropland farm near the Verdigris River, are looking for a hunting parcel with over 80-acres in the Verdigris River Valley, or are looking for a home in the country this property has lots to offer!
This tract is located near the Verdigris River and is roughly 75-80% tillable with a combination of both bottomland and upland crop soils present. Cropland on the property is composed of roughly 65% bottomland soils and 35% upland soils. Bottomland crop soils are of good quality, being composed of approximately 70% Reading Silt Loam class I soils and 30% Ivan Silt Loam class II soils. Upland crop soils are of average quality and are composed of class II Dennis Silt Loam soils. FSA records indicate 73.93-acres of cropland on this parcel, however, crop acreage appears to map closer to 68-acres based on our mapping software. Fertilizer has already been applied over the winter months offering a great head start to the new owner (5.9 Tons of Potash, 6.1 Tons of DAP, 700lbs of Sulfur, and 490lbs of Zinc). Bottomland cropland in the Verdigris River Valley rarely hits the open market (this farm has been in the same family since 1857) so don’t miss out on an exceptional opportunity to invest in tillable land.
For recreational buyers, this property offers good return from the cropland on the property, is over 80-acres for a landowner tag, is located in the highly desirable Verdigris River Valley 1/8th mile from the Verdigris River, includes over ½ mile of Halderman Creek, and includes a 4-bedroom home to stay in while hunting on the property. With good populations of deer and turkey frequenting the parcel, and good field edges and waterways for holding quail, this tract offers a great opportunity for the outdoor enthusiast!
In addition to the agricultural and hunting opportunities the tract provides, it also features a build site with a home and garage with blacktop frontage. The home on the property includes roughly 1600sf of living space and is an older 2-story home with 4-bedrooms, 1-bathroom, a living room, dining room, and kitchen. The home was repainted and had a new roof put on in the past few years. The home is on rural water and has access to fiber internet.
You aren’t going to want to miss your chance to purchase this highly attractive Greenwood County parcel. The property has been in the Norton Family for nearly 170-years so don’t miss the opportunity to purchase the property as you likely won’t get another chance at it in your lifetime!
