Property Description

Located in central Lyon County just south of Americus, this exceptional 54 +/- acre tract offers a rare opportunity to own a highly improved Wetland Reserve Program (WRP) property with outstanding wildlife habitat, year-round water, and excellent recreational appeal. Designed with both conservation and recreation in mind, the property features approximately 32 +/- acres of quality native grassland and timber habitat, including warm-season grasses, thick bedding cover, wooded draws, and natural travel corridors. The habitat has been carefully maintained and provides exceptional hunting opportunities for whitetail deer, turkey, upland birds, and waterfowl. An additional 17 +/- acres of former cropland have been established into wildlife habitat, further enhancing the property’s diversity, carrying capacity, and overall habitat quality.

The centerpiece of the property is a meticulously designed 5 +/- acre pond constructed specifically to attract and hold waterfowl. Situated within a strong migratory flyway, the pond experiences consistent waterfowl activity throughout the year while also offering excellent fishing opportunities.

Adding even more character and long-term value is a producing pecan orchard located on the property. Pester Creek winds throughout the tract, providing a reliable year-round water source and a natural wildlife corridor. Several additional seasonal creeks and wet-weather drainages further contribute to the property’s exceptional habitat and water resources.

The property is perimeter fenced with additional cross fencing already in place. Improvements include a two-car garage with a concrete floor and an installed private water well. The tract is located along a hard-surface blacktop road with electricity, rural water, and telephone service at the road. With attractive water features, nearby utilities, and excellent access, the property also offers outstanding future homesite potential. Mineral rights are intact and will transfer to the Buyer at closing. There are currently no active leases or tenant rights associated with the property. Approximately 49 acres of the property are enrolled in a 30-year WRP easement, with approximately 17 years remaining on the agreement.

Properties that combine premium wildlife habitat, dependable water, producing orchard income potential, and future building opportunities are increasingly difficult to find. Whether you are seeking a premier hunting property, recreational retreat, or long-term investment, this Lyon County tract deserves serious consideration. Showings are by appointment only, and a licensed agent must be present. For additional information, disclosures, or to schedule a private showing, contact Trent Siegle at (620) 767-2926.
