Vaughn-Roth Land Brokers is proud to present this premium Neosho and Cottonwood River Valley cropland located just east of Emporia, Kansas to the public on behalf of The Gunkle Family Trust. Land of this quality is rarely offered to the public in this area and opportunity is knocking for those who want to expand their farming operation, add investment-grade cropland to their portfolio or purchase a unique recreational tract with river frontage and mature hardwood timber. This property has been in the same family for decades but the page is turning to the next chapter. This could be the only chance of your lifetime to acquire these tracts so come to the auction prepared to buy! The properties are being offered in seven separate tracts or combinations thereof.
This land will be offered via live auction to be held at Champions Landing (the former Emporia Country Club) located at 1801 Rural St. on September 24th, 2025 at 7:00 P.M. There will be an online option as well for those of you who would like to bid remotely or put in early bids.
Please note that there have been excellent long-time farm tenants on these tracts who desire the opportunity to continue renting them in the event the successful buyer needs a tenant.
Tract 1 totals 30 acres more or less and is a gorgeous parcel flanking the Neosho River that bisects it and provides fertile, loamy soils that are the envy of crop producers. There’s approximately 20 acres currently in crop production with the majority soil type being ultra-productive Class 1 Reading silt loam followed closely by desirable Ivan and Chase varieties. For your convenience and confidence, you will find a copy of the soil map in the “Related Documents” section within this listing on our website. Tract 1 adjoins Tract 2 which is located directly to the west. Tracts 1 and 2 are being offered both individually and in combination as Tract 3 with the properties selling in whichever form garners the most proceeds.
Recreational property buyers will want to keep this parcel at the top of their wish list as it will be attractive to both the whitetail and waterfowl hunter due to substantial hardwood timber, excellent cropland and over 1,900 ft. of Neosho River frontage!
The location is another excellent inherent attribute, boasting pavement access and being only 2 miles to Emporia. You’ll have multiple excellent grain markets to access including Bunge with a convenient drive.
