Acreage: 26
County: Lyon
State: Kansas

Property Description

This exceptional 26 +/- acre property represents a rare opportunity to acquire a lifelong-owned tract in a prime river-bottom setting. Known for its outstanding productivity, healthy soils, and exceptional recreational value, this well-maintained property combines dependable agricultural income with mature timber, abundant wildlife, and the natural beauty of Phenis Creek.

Approximately 8 +/- acres consist of highly productive, no-till river-bottom cropland, with average yields of 50 bushels per acre for wheat and 35 bushels per acre for soybeans. The soils are approximately 53% Chase and 46% Ivan, both of which are considered Class II soils, and have demonstrated above-average performance and health. An additional 2 +/- acres are enrolled in CRP, creating a valuable conservation buffer that helps keep erosion to little or none throughout the tract.

The remaining 16 +/- acres feature a mature timber stand composed of Walnut, Oak, Cottonwood, Elm, and Hackberry. Phenis Creek, a tributary of the Cottonwood River, winds through the property, creating ideal funnels and pinch points for wildlife movement. The combination of timber, water, cropland, and secluded cover provides outstanding habitat and seemingly endless opportunities for whitetail deer and turkey hunting.

Improvements include an original double-boxcar barn, while a well-maintained roadway along the north side provides a private, secluded entrance. All mineral rights are intact and will transfer with the property. The tract is located within a floodplain, and the approximate 2025 property taxes are just $133.14.

With its productive Class II soils, proven crop yields, mature timber, live water, conservation features, and premier hunting habitat, this is truly one of the area’s most desirable and productive river-bottom tracts. An additional 72 +/- acres will also be available to purchase, approximately 0.8 miles west, creating an opportunity to expand the overall landholding.
