Located on the Lyon County and Wabaunsee County line sits this prime opportunity to hunt, play, and make memories on one incredible and well-diversified farm tucked away in the Flint Hills of Kansas. If you are looking for a top-end hunting tract and a place to disappear into the peaceful essence of nature on a manageable scale, look no further.The current owner has had the pleasure of ownership of the farm since 1998 and enjoyed every minute, and with heartfelt emotions, knows that it is the time for the next chapter of the farm and bless a new owner with all the greatness and pleasure the farm has brought their family. The seller has also elected to keep the two tracts together rather than breaking them apart as they have worked so well cohesively over the years.
The 117 +/- acres are in two separate tracts just an arm’s reach from each other. The north tract is made up of 77 +/- acres total with 36 +/- acres of native grassland meadows which are hayed annually and receives a $825.00 payment. The 25 +/- acres of mature timber stand spiders out in fingerling draws throughout the entire tract and lining Bluff Creek that runs from north to south and is crystal clear and rock bottomed. The timber stand is primarily made up of Walnut, Elm, Cottonwood, Sycamore, Hackberry, White Oak, Osage Orange, and Cedar. The trails, rubs, and scraps throughout show the highway system through the entire farm. Pair that with being surrounded by big cattle country and seclusion, it’s no wonder why the wildlife thrives! There are 2 gated entrances on the north end, one on the east that leads into the hay meadow acres, then on the west, a long driveway easement that takes you back to the CRP acres, hunting shack, and pond. The spring-fed pond not only is fully stocked but also is the most incredible place to sit and take it all in. Not a sound in the world except nature. The shack has more living-type quarters up top with a storage area below. The CRP is enrolled until 2034 and receives an annual payment of $719.00.
The 40 +/- acre tract that sits just to the south holds many of the same characteristics and attributes as the north end, just on a smaller scale. Coming in on the south side along Road 390, you’ll see the piped double-gated entrance that takes you in and overlooks the property. The bluff that drops off to the northwest makes for one incredible setting and an ideal spot to potentially build. The pond sits just down in the bottoms to the east. With the draws and pinch points throughout, there are prime locations for food plots to create year-round food sources, just like the north end. This tract is hayed annually as well and receives a $800.00 payment. Walking the creek, you will notice just like the north, it too is riddled with all the traffic and amazing how many different deer are on this farm compared to the north, and ideal for hunting multiple wind directions and access. Hunting unit #14.
From top-end whitetails, never-ending turkey, and healthy quail populations to the always stunning prairie chicken, this farm holds all the needs, wants, and everything one could dream of and is all on one manageable farm.
