Wild Horse Creek Cabin and Woods

Property Description

Located just 3 miles north of Saint John on Northwest 10th Avenue, this 68 +/- acre Stafford County property is a rare offering that embodies everything outdoor enthusiasts and country folks dream of owning. This is the kind of land that is not just owned, but respected and lived. Quiet, private, and rich in wildlife, it offers the space, solitude, and natural beauty that define the Kansas way of life.

Nearly the entire property is wooded, with approximately 60 +/- acres of mature timber that creates exceptional wildlife habitat and true seclusion. Established bedding ground, natural travel corridors, and existing tree stands make this a premier hunting property with a proven history of whitetail deer, turkey, and other Kansas game. The layout of the timber offers ideal setups for both bow and rifle seasons, providing a property that has been perfected with time.

What truly sets this land apart is the care and stewardship it has received over the decades. The current owners, and even the previous owner before them, a local game warden, have long been treated as a wildlife sanctuary. This land has always been in the hands of true sportsmen who understood the balance between enjoying the outdoors and protecting it. That respect is evident in the health of the timber, the quality of the habitat, and the consistent wildlife presence throughout the property. It is a place where the land has been allowed to thrive naturally.

At the south end of the property, where the trees open up, sits a beautifully positioned home overlooking wide open Kansas skies and unforgettable sunsets. The home offers 1,458 finished square feet with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, creating a comfortable and welcoming retreat after a day in the woods. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the living space, making it the perfect gathering spot during cold mornings and long winter evenings. Wildlife is frequently seen grazing in the yard, a daily reminder of the peaceful, secluded nature of this setting.

The home includes a full, partially finished basement that provides ample storage or future expansion potential, along with an attached two-car garage offering 729 square feet. A carport added in 2008 adds additional covered parking or equipment storage. Several outbuildings further enhance the property, including a 1980 storage shed and a larger 1995 storage shed equipped with a wood-burning stove. This space is ideal for equipment storage, a workshop, or a dedicated processing area during hunting season. A greenhouse is already in place for those interested in gardening or expanding self-sufficient living.

The land is fully fenced and currently set up for livestock, complete with a water tank, allowing for agricultural use such as cattle and horses, while preserving the property’s recreational appeal. This balance of function and recreation makes the property as practical as it is enjoyable.

Whether your vision is a premier Kansas hunting property, a secluded country home tucked back in the woods, or a legacy property, this Stafford County acreage delivers on every level. Properties offering this degree of privacy, proven hunting, thoughtful stewardship, and quality improvements in such a desirable area of central Kansas are exceptionally rare. This is more than land. It is a sanctuary, a retreat, and a place where the outdoors is not just visited, but lived.
