Private fishing lake on 39 acres with rental Income in Clay County

If you’re looking for a serene location for your new home with easy access to all the convenience of city living, take a look at Bell Lake in Smithville, just a 20-minute drive from downtown Kansas City but a world away from city life.

This unique 39-acre property within the city limits of Smithville includes a six-acre fishing lake surrounded by hardwood timber. Bell Lake was originally developed as a private fishing lake and offers what Dirk Talley, owner/broker of Show-Me Real Estate, said is some of the best fishing in the area.

“Designated as a retreat away from the city, Bell Lake includes five rental units that were once fishing cabins and now provide a gross monthly income of $2,405,” explained Randy Swope, property manager.

Talley said Bell Lake offers a variety of opportunities for buyers.

“It is the perfect place for someone to build their dream home in their own private retreat and help pay for it with the income from the rental properties,” he said. “It could be developed as residential property with several home sites. It could also be a way to escape city life at your own private fishing hole.”

Bell Lake is within the Smithville city limits and is just off U.S. 169 Highway on Northwest 144th Street. Although it is secluded, it is within a quick drive of such northland destinations as Zona Rosa and Kansas City International Airport.

Those who want a larger lake experience for boating, skiing and other recreation can find it at Smithville Lake, a short drive north on U.S. 169 at Smithville Lake. Golfers can test their skills at Paradise Pointe Golf Course, which is also just up the road.

The City of Smithville offers all of the benefits of small-town living with a vibrant business district, restaurants and services. The highly rated Smithville School District has smaller class sizes geared towards student success.

Bell Lake is listed at $565,000 and potential owners may schedule a private tour by calling Dirk Talley at 913-231-0098 or speak with any agent at the Show-Me Real Estate office at 816-532-6101.
