Crooked River Farm | Country Living, Celebrations & Opportunity 104.68± Acres Along the Crooked River in Lawson, Missouri Imagine enjoying a peaceful morning beside the river, spending the afternoon tending your land, and welcoming guests for life's most memorable celebrations. At Crooked River Farm, country living and an established wedding business come together in a setting full of natural beauty, rustic character, and possibilities. Spanning 104.68± acres across five parcels outside city limits in Ray County, the property combines a spacious main home, farm cottage, rental home, wedding barn, and distinctive outbuildings. Open fields meet wooded hillsides, mature trees shade the grounds, and the beautiful Crooked River provides a backdrop for everyday life and special occasions. Whether you envision living on-site while growing the venue, creating a hobby farm with supplemental income, or developing a destination for celebrations and rural getaways, Crooked River Farm offers an established foundation and room to grow. A Place to Call Home The 2,750± SF main home features 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, hardwood, carpet, and tile flooring, updated windows, a walk-out basement, and a Generac generator. A large deck invites morning coffee, outdoor dinners, and quiet evenings overlooking the countryside. For an owner-operator, the residence offers the convenience of living where you work while enjoying the lifestyle that draws guests to the farm. A separate 780± SF, 1-bedroom, 1-bath farm cottage provides flexibility for additional living space or potential guest accommodations. The 1,568± SF rental home includes 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and an associated outbuilding/auto shop, adding another residential and income component. An Established Venue with Character Family-owned and operated, Crooked River Farm has hosted weddings full-time since 2016, earning multiple awards and exceptional ratings across major review platforms. Offered as a turnkey wedding operation with staff and future bookings in place, the business provides a starting point for a new owner. The 2,250± SF wedding barn anchors the experience with rustic wood character, concrete flooring, a bathroom, bridal suite, and deck. Outdoor gathering areas and the river setting offer inviting spaces for ceremonies, photographs, and celebrations. A distinctive 600± SF vintage gas station adds nostalgic charm and a memorable photography backdrop. It is easy to see why people choose to celebrate here—and equally easy to imagine making it home. Space for Hobbies & Outdoor Living The acreage offers room to plant a garden, explore hobby farming and livestock possibilities, or enjoy having space for equipment, recreational toys, and hands-on projects. A 1,100± SF auto shop with a heated 4-inch concrete floor and metal roof provides workspace for automotive hobbies, maintenance, and farm projects. A separate 1,600± SF equipment building supports storage and property operations. Together, the seven principal structures offer approximately 10,648 SF for residential, event, workshop, and storage uses. Beyond the buildings, open fields and mature timber create changing views throughout the seasons. Enjoy wildlife watching, excellent deer and turkey hunting, or a quiet walk beside the Crooked River. There is room for productive days, outdoor adventures, and afternoons with no particular agenda. Opportunity to Grow The established venue and multiple income streams give a buyer several directions to explore. Expand the wedding calendar, introduce smaller weekday celebrations, or host reunions, company retreats, and private gatherings. Photography sessions and seasonal events offer additional ways to share the property's distinctive setting. Overnight accommodations could complement the venue and attract visitors seeking a country getaway. The farm cottage presents short-term rental potential, while the hunting cabin offers possibilities for rustic retreats and hunting stays. Longer term, treehouses or other distinctive lodging could create guest experiences centered on the wooded surroundings. The land also offers room for seasonal agritourism. The field along the highway presents possibilities for a pumpkin patch, Christmas tree operation, farm stand, or country store featuring on-site produce and goods from local vendors. The back acreage could support concepts such as apple orchards, chestnut plantings, sunflower fields, a corn maze, or pick-your-own crops. Workshops and activities such as goat yoga could broaden the visitor experience. A shorter-term hunting lease program offers another potential avenue, with scheduled access coordinated around weddings and other guest activities. These ideas can be explored in phases, guided by the land, the owner's interests, and the desired pace of growth. Your Home, Your Business, Your Next Chapter Approximately 8 minutes from downtown Lawson and 19 minutes from downtown Excelsior Springs, Crooked River Farm pairs a peaceful country atmosphere with access to nearby shops, restaurants, and services. Here, a home, an established business, and more than 100 acres come together in one distinctive offering.
