Looking at homes for sale in Scammon, KS? Burton Real Estate has an office in Columbus, just down the road, and helps buyers and sellers across Cherokee County. Whether you're buying your first home or selling one you've owned for years, we'll walk you through it and get the deal done.
Scammon is a small Cherokee County city of about 380 residents (2020 census), about 8 miles north of Columbus, the county seat. It takes its name from the four Scammon brothers, who opened the first coal mine there, and it was once one of the busiest coal shipping points in the region. Railroad history is still close by: the Heart of the Heartlands group has restored the old Carona depot nearby as a museum.
Scammon's housing is mostly older single-family homes in town, with rural properties and acreage in the surrounding countryside. Listings are few, so it pays to be ready when one comes up. We'll set up a search that alerts you the moment something new lists.
Nearby communities we serve: Columbus, Cherokee, and Pittsburg. See all of our areas.
