Bates County - Northwest State Route J, Amsterdam, MO
Large, contiguous land holdings within close proximity to major metropolitan areas are increasingly scarce. The Bettels Ranch represents one of the most significant and compelling recreational and investment ranch offerings to come to market near Kansas City in recent yearsdefined by its scale, exceptional water resources, and diverse wildlife habitat.
Spanning 2,425 acres, the ranch is ideally positioned just 45 minutes south of Overland Park, a mere seven miles from U.S. Highway 69, and is easily accessed via paved State Route Y and State Route J. With access from four sides and an extensive internal road and trail system, the property offers outstanding accessibility while maintaining the privacy and seclusion expected of a premier ranch.
The defining feature of the Bettels Ranch is its remarkable water footprint, creating a rare combination of recreational opportunity and natural beauty. The property includes nine deep strip-pit lakes totaling approximately 129 surface acres, along with sixteen additional lakes and ponds totaling roughly 116 surface acres. These waters provide outstanding trophy bass and crappie fishing and create ideal conditions for year-round outdoor enjoyment.
The ranch lies within a highly regarded wildlife corridor and supports abundant populations of whitetail deer, wild turkey, and waterfowl. Its proximity to major regional water resourcesincluding La Cygne Reservoir, the Marais des Cygnes River, and the Marais des Cygnes Waterfowl Area and National Wildlife Refugefurther enhances its appeal as a premier destination for serious sportsmen.
Waterfowl hunting is a standout feature, with the ranch consistently holding strong numbers of ducks due to its combination of open water, marsh habitat, and surrounding agricultural influence. The diversity of habitatincluding timbered areas, creek corridors, and wetland environmentscreates excellent conditions for both big game and bird hunting.
A structured hunting lease in place through 2028 provides immediate income, generating $62,500 annually in 2026 with scheduled increases, while still allowing the landowner to retain personal hunting and fishing rights for family and guests.
Beyond its recreational appeal, the Bettels Ranch is a highly functional working property with multiple established income streams.
Approximately 1,850 acres are divided into 23 pastures, supporting an estimated 800 head of cattle. The ranch is well-fenced and supported by abundant water sources throughout, allowing for efficient livestock management. The seller would consider leasing back a substantial portion of the grazing acreage, offering immediate and reliable income potential.
The property also includes 150 acres of tillable ground, partially irrigated, currently generating $25,000 annually in cash rent. Additional farm and pasture leases contribute further income, while an existing tenant participates in ongoing improvements to the ranch.
Infrastructure supporting the ranch includes a 55'x100' Quonset building for equipment and hay storage, as well as a 30'x40' metal building suitable for additional storage or operational use. An extensive internal road network provides efficient access throughout the property.
The ranch also benefits from a manure application agreement with a neighboring operator, enhancing soil fertility and long-term productivity across portions of the property.
With its rare combination of expansive water resources, proven recreational excellence, strong income potential, and close proximity to the Kansas City metro, the Bettels Ranch stands as a premier opportunity for the discerning buyer seeking a legacy-caliber recreational and investment property in the Midwest.

If you're looking for pasture, a feedlot with working facilities, a scale, livestock barns, machine sheds, and a home, look no further! This farm lies between Butler and Rich Hill, west of the interstate!

Located in the northeast corner of the farm, you will find the heartbeat of the property, a nearly 20 +/- acre feedlot! The feedlot is fenced in and divided with steel pipe and continuous panels. The feedlot has multiple large Johnson automatic waterers strategically placed, a scale and scale house, and a very nice cattle working facility under a roof, along with a loading chute. All the waterers are believed to be supplied by the pump house located just north of the pond. There are approximately 1,000'+ of concrete feed bunks, allowing a tremendous amount of cattle to be fed at one time, maximizing the efficiency of the feedlot. Each alleyway has feed bunks on both sides and a cul-de-sac at the end to easily turn around. Almost all of the bunks have a concrete apron in front of them for the cattle to stand on. Attached to the feedlot are multiple fenced pastures with good grass for grazing additional cattle, horses, or any other livestock.
The farm features a nice 36'x53' shop with concrete floors, water, and electricity! Additionally, the farm features a 30'x60', 50'x68', and a 40'x60' machine shed and livestock barns. The cattle working facility is located inside an additional 20'x60' building, allowing the ability to work cattle in all weather conditions. Inside this barn, you will find concrete, electricity, and an office where you can keep your medicine and supplies so they are protected and located close by. You do not want to miss out on this opportunity! Contact Derek Payne at (573) 999-4574 for additional information or to schedule a private showing.
