Montgomery County Kansas Land Auction Results: 158.2 Acres Sold at $4,800 Per Acre

The recent Montgomery County Kansas land auction has officially closed, with both tracts of the 158.2-acre property selling for $4,800 per acre. Located near Independence, this diverse property offered a rare combination of residential, agricultural, and recreational value.

Strong bidder participation and competitive bidding led to a successful outcome for the sellers, reinforcing continued demand for quality Kansas land.

Tract 1 – Home, Rolling Terrain & Recreation Value

Tract 1 consisted of 65.9 acres featuring a 3-bedroom ranch-style home, native pasture, timbered hillsides, and two ponds. The property’s rolling terrain and elevation change created excellent habitat for whitetail deer and turkey, while also providing water sources for both livestock and wildlife.

The combination of a country home with strong hunting and recreation appeal generated steady interest leading up to auction day. Buyers continue to seek properties in Montgomery County that offer multi-use potential — living, livestock, and recreation in one package.

This tract ultimately sold for $4,800 per acre, demonstrating the strength of well-marketed rural real estate in southeast Kansas.

Tract 2 – Verdigris River Bottom Tillable Ground

Tract 2 featured 92.3 acres of productive Verdigris River bottom land. Approximately 73 acres were tillable, with a large percentage consisting of high-quality silt loam soils. In addition to its agricultural productivity, the property also offered river frontage and recreational value.

Strong demand for Kansas farmland, especially river bottom tillable ground, continues to drive competitive bidding. Agricultural investors and local operators alike recognize the long-term value of productive land in this region.

This tract also sold for $4,800 per acre, resulting in a strong overall auction performance.
