Mule Creek Bottomland & Thick Habitat

Property Description

Located just outside of Kiowa, Kansas, is 395+/- acres of prime hunting habitat. The farm has a mixture of everything needed to grow and harvest mature bucks, including location, size, and habitat structure. Let's start with the location, on Little Mule Creek and near the Medicine River in Unit 16. Live water in this area of Kansas means large caliber deer living and traveling through. Size: the farm’s shape and size are very unique. Two parcels make up the 395+/- acres in a shape ideal for raising big deer in a more squared shape. Added depth to the long side of the farm differs from usual layouts, which is helpful in managing your deer herd to maturity. Habitat structure: when you combine food, fresh water, and ample bedding cover, deer have no reason to leave.
Mature Timber consisting of tall cottonwoods, elms, locust, and willows line the creek bank. Dense cedar thickets and brush create natural bedding areas surrounding this travel corridor and feeding area. These areas provide fantastic bird hunting opportunities. At the center of the farm is roughly 128 acres of fertile farmland perfect for investment returns and feeding wildlife year-round. These wheat fields commonly feed ducks and geese that roost on nearby lakes.
Looking across the tillable fields in the mornings, you will see dozens and dozens of deer. This area of Kansas is known for some of the greatest genetics and production of record book deer in the country. Raw farms like this with excellent habitat, natural terrain, and untapped hunting potential rarely become available. If you make a tour through the property, you will find substantial evidence of aged bucks and their presence throughout the hunting season. Giant fence post rubs and scrapes litter the farm. Beaten trails that look like they are from cattle criss-cross the grassy areas, even though this land hasn’t been grazed in many years. These elevated grassy hilltops make excellent locations for box blinds and even a potential build site for a home/hunting cabin. Electricity is at the road and brought back into the center of the property for convenient use. There is a current excavation lease with Barber County for the harvest of road gravel from an embankment; this year-to-year lease generates income and provides the benefit of a well-maintained creek crossing. Mineral Rights have been very productive in the past and will convey to the buyer. This property would make an excellent investment with multiple streams of income and abundant wildlife.
