Take a look at this remarkable 200 +/- acre property located just south of Louisburg, Kansas, which was once the renowned 18-hole Metcalf Ridge Golf Course. Although it currently requires some maintenance and updates to restore it to its former glory, the property's impeccable layout makes it a prime candidate for revival. In its prime, Metcalf Ridge Golf Course was celebrated for its demanding holes, earning a reputation as one of the most challenging courses in the county. Dotted with groups of timber and numerous water hazards, a round of golf here promises an exhilarating experience. From the expansive back deck of the clubhouse, one can revel in the awe-inspiring view of the 13+/- acre lake, a truly breathtaking sight. Additionally, a clear 4+/- acre pond can be found alongside several smaller ponds scattered throughout the course, further enhancing its appeal. However, the potential of this property extends beyond its prospects as a golf course. It offers incredible recreational opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts. Anglers will delight in the abundance of largemouth bass and bluegill found in the two larger bodies of water. With fish biting almost effortlessly, it is a fishing paradise waiting to be explored. Furthermore, the property holds tremendous potential for outstanding deer and turkey hunting. The minimal hunting pressure in and around the area ensures an ideal environment for deer, with plenty of potential food plot areas and cover growth. On top of the deer and turkey hunting, thousands of ducks and geese find refuge on all of the ponds each year greatly increasing the hunting opportunities and potential.
Aside from its recreational opportunities, the property also appeals to ranchers seeking vast acreage for hay harvesting and grazing livestock. The ample land offers an excellent opportunity to integrate it into existing ranching operations, providing a reliable water source even during dry spells. The entire golf course is irrigated from the lake with water rights and pumps in place to not only water the entire property but also fill the irrigation lake from the creek if needed. While the existing clubhouse may require some renovations, it presents an opportunity to be repurposed. Whether you are considering flipping the building or tearing it down to construct your dream home, the property offers multiple locations with breathtaking views exclusive to its owners. Moreover, an alternative option exists for those interested in retaining the golf course while seeking a return on investment. By reducing it to a 9-hole course and strategically developing elegant homes surrounding the fairways, one can create an exceptional atmosphere for golfing, accompanied by private residences. This approach presents a compelling opportunity to invest and generate income from your own real estate venture. Aside from all of the incredible features this property offers, it sits just under 45 +/- minutes from Kansas City making it a desirable area for people wanting to be a good distance from the city to enjoy the great outdoors. It is also a short drive to enjoy a round of golf or a weekend hunting trip! All showings are by appointment only.
