Barton County Irrigated Land with Vested Water Rights

Property Description

This is a rare opportunity to purchase irrigated farmland in Barton County with extensive, vested water rights. Comprised of highly productive Bridgeport silt loam and New Cambria silty clay loam, Class II soils, in a region renowned for its high-yielding crops, this property offers exceptional agricultural value.

The water rights alone make this tract especially desirable: Water Right BT-13-00 is a vested right with a priority date of 1945, authorized 285 acre-feet, with 190 acre-feet currently utilized, allowing irrigation to more acreage or the ability to add to an additional parcel. With an authorized rate of 1200 gallons per minute (currently set at 800) and 74 total irrigated acres, this property has outstanding water rights with huge investment potential. This property doesn't just come with good water rights but also great water quality. A water test is currently being conducted to prove this, but with water at a depth of 18 feet and a water well of 53 feet, one can initially assume good results with such shallow depths. The property is currently in fifth-year alfalfa, has no existing leases, and will be ready for immediate possession. Prepared for a seamless transition, this purchase will provide instant earning potential.

Located less than a mile east of Great Bend and only 1 mile north of Highway 56, this property offers both exceptional convenience and strong agricultural prominence. Proximity to city limits and the Cardinal Lane Development to the north further enhances its appeal, presenting clear potential for future development or building opportunities for even further investment opportunities.

Walnut Creek outlines the north and east boundaries of the property, offering not only scenic views but also a reliable water source for local wildlife. While the creek provides a consistent, slow-flowing water supply, it is not an area prone to flooding (as shown in the attached Flood Plain map). This creek corridor supports a vibrant ecosystem and has long served as a haven for deer, turkey, and other native species. The property boasts a strong hunting history, with turkeys known to roost in the mature trees that line the creek and trophy bucks often seen grazing in the field.

Whether you're a farm producer seeking irrigated acreage, an investor interested in long-term guaranteed income, or an outdoorsman valuing natural habitat, this tract exceeds for all!
