General Overview: Due to the passing of Robert L. Babb and Peggy S. Babb, the family has elected to sell the family farm and dissolve their trust. The Babb Family has owned this farm for many years and it has not been available to the public. The location, topography and general makeup of this land make it a perfect opportunity for custom home sites, development of estate lots, livestock farm, hobby farming or with its proximity to Excelsior Springs, MO along State Highway MO-69, it is a great land investment property. The farm consists of a total of 58.60 surveyed acres (m/l) and the owners have split the farm into (2) individual lots (tracts) to allow for a better purchasing opportunity. Please review the current approved final survey plat for tract locations and descriptions. The perimeter of the farm is fenced and currently there are Babb Family improved genetic Red Angus cattle grazing the property. This property has a lot to offer and is conveniently located just a mile north of Excelsior Springs, MO. Read the tract descriptions below for further details.

Lot 3: consists of 18.40 acres (m/l) located on the south end of the farm. It can be accessed by MO-69 and an approach will need to be built by the new owner. The State Highway Department has approved the construction of an approach as part of the Clay County Lot Split process. This tract of land runs east to west with ample amounts of timber to provide aesthetics as well as cover for wildlife. There is a very nice clearing in the center of the tract which would create a beautiful home site(s) and the timber on the east by the highway creates a nice buffer. In the NW corner of the tract there is a natural gas pipeline and the right-of-way can be found on the survey map. Small buildable tracts of land like this are very difficult to find in Clay County and this one will not last long. Check it out today!
