Property Description

Situated just south of Kismet near Liberal, Kansas, is 159 +/- acres of fertile cropland. This tract has a strong irrigation Water Right. Perfected Water Right #33240 authorizes 160 acres to be irrigated with 240 acre feet pumped at over 1,000 gallons per minute. This Water Right has been active for a long time, with a priority date of 6/29/1979. The ability to water 240 acre freet over the center pivot area, roughly 116 +/- acres, means adding two feet of rainfall to the crop annually. Kansas State University estimated 2025 cash rental rates for Seward County irrigated cropland at $160+ per acre. Put this income-producing farm to work for your operation or your family's real estate portfolio.

The farm consists mostly of Class III Satanta Fine Sandy Loam with a productivity index of 52.5. These fertile soils can generate tremendous Corn yields of over 200 bushels per acre. The corners have historically been in grass for haying or grazing. A few miles north is the largest Dairy in Kansas, milking roughly 15,000 head per day. The growing dairy industry in southwest Kansas has a strong foothold here with future expansion already in progress. That many milk cows need lots of feed and water!

Corn is being planted through the cover crop. The seller’s 1/3rd share of the 2026 crop will transfer to the buyer upon closing. All above-ground irrigation equipment, including the pivot system, panel box, engine, power shaft, cooling coil, and gas meter, belongs to the tenant. Irrigation well, pump, gear head, underground electric, water and gas lines, concrete pads, and water meter belong to the seller and will transfer. Possession will be subject to the tenant's rights. Opportunities to purchase private treaty irrigated ground are scarce. For more information, contact the Listing Agent Sean Thomas at (620) 712-2775 or SThomas@MidwestLandGroup.com.
