Cropland and Timber on Gypsum Creek

On Paved 27th Avenue near the Town of Roxbury is 142 +/- acres of fertile cropland, fenced pasture, and mature trees. This farm would make an excellent addition to your farming operation, could be developed into an excellent deer hunting property, or is ideal to homestead. The farm consists of approximately 104 acres of productive tillable land. These fields have been on a rotation of milo, alfalfa, wheat, and soybeans. The loamy soils are gently sloped, Class I and Class II. The tillable acres average a NCCPI index score of 65, above average for the area. There is a fenced pasture totaling 18 +/- acres; this would be a great place to store bulls or a winter calving pen. The grass hasn't been grazed in a couple of years and produces excellent forage. Clean out some fence rows and farm straight through. The land is currently planted to soybeans and leased with a split cash rent payment due semi-annually.

There is a thriving deer population. Evidenced by a quick inventory of mature bucks, this farm has the habitat to grow and hold quality deer. There is old-growth timber along South Gypsum Creek. This back corner of the farm would be an excellent place to hang a stand. The tillable fields are broken into small chunks; these old fence rows make excellent edge habitat for all types of wildlife. This segmentation and variety of habitat help the deer, quail, and especially turkeys thrive. Cash rent income from these producing fields is high enough to balance a hunting investment. There are so many turkeys in this area that the Game & Fish Department monitors them for research. These fuzzy field edges make for perfect rub lines and convenient routes to approach the hunt stand undetected. The farm feels a lot bigger than it is; the tree lines and rolling topography obscure sight lines and make deer feel safe. Soybeans will be beefing up these deer going into autumn, and opportunities at a mature buck during early bow/muzzleloader season will undoubtedly become a reality for the new owner. This area of Central Kansas is a hidden Gem. The expansive pastures, steep canyons, sprawling arms of Gypsum Creek, and the Maxwell Wildlife Refuge keep wild game populations abundant. All the components are here at this farm to grow record book deer. The farm is easy to get to in all conditions and would be a great location to spot in a cabin or park a camper for hunting season.

If the rural lifestyle is what you are after, this would make an excellent build site! Located on a blacktop road with additional access on the north side. Bring your construction drawings and build a custom home on the hilltop back in the pasture. There is a rural water line and electric adjacent to the road. Bring these utilities back to your forever homestead. Enjoy space to rotational graze horses and beef cattle, grow hay and feed crops in manageable-sized fields. Enjoy wildlife out the back window all day long and share the passion for hunting with the next generation.
