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 or new development. 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 clusters of timber and numerous water hazards, a round of golf here promised an exhilarating experience. From the expansive back deck of the clubhouse, one can enjoy the awe-inspiring view of the 13 +/- acre lake—a truly exceptional sight. Additionally, a clear 4 +/- acre pond is located 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. The rolling topography, seclusion, and blacktop road frontage make it a prime candidate for a new housing development just outside of town. The harmonious blend of open meadows, lush greenery, and large bodies of water creates a serene and extraordinary escape to the peace and beauty of the countryside, with the convenience of town nearby. This tract also offers incredible recreational opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts. Anglers will delight in the abundance of largemouth bass, crappie, and bluegill found in the two larger bodies of water, making it 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 creates an ideal environment for deer, with ample locations to add food plots or bedding habitat. On top of this, thousands of ducks and geese find refuge on the ponds each year, greatly increasing the hunting opportunities and potential. Aside from its recreational opportunities, the property appeals to ranchers and producers seeking acreage for hay production and grazing livestock. The land provides an excellent opportunity to integrate into existing ranching operations, offering 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 water a large portion of the property or refill the irrigation lake from the creek if needed. 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. The possibilities for this remarkable property are endless and need to be seen in person to truly appreciate. All showings are by appointment only.
