Lifelong Producer on Coon Creek

Property Description

South of Cedar Point, tucked among the rolling Flint Hills, this 78 +/- acre farm brings together the features that make a property worth holding onto for generations: live water, productive cropland, native grassland, mature timber, and a setting that invites you to slow down and stay awhile. Here, the sounds of crickets, birdsong, clucking turkeys, and the breeze through the grass are occasionally joined by cattle calling in the distance. It is a place of peace, privacy, and simple enjoyment.

For the family who has cherished this farm, what began as an investment became something far more meaningful. It became a place for stories, traditions, and memories growing up throughout life, and a father’s “playground,” where hunting, fishing, and trapping offered reasons to return throughout the year. Now, this generationally owned property is ready for its next chapter and someone new to appreciate everything it holds.

The farm’s approximately 29 acres of tillable row crop, 21 acres of timber and creek, and 28 acres of native grassland create a diverse landscape within a manageable footprint. Approximately 15 acres of the native grassland are hayed annually, adding agricultural utility alongside the cropland. Smaller pocket fields, timbered edges, and finger draws break up the terrain, while approximately 50 feet of elevation change give the property character, sheltered pockets, and beautiful views across the surrounding countryside.

Coon Creek winds throughout the farm, tying the landscape together and providing a natural corridor for wildlife. Its wooded banks offer shade, cover, and opportunities to explore, while a spring-fed pond adds another water source and fishing destination. Whether spending a summer evening along the creek, casting a line at the pond, or checking traps on a crisp winter morning, the possibilities extend well beyond hunting season.

For the hunter, the combination of habitat, terrain, and location tells a compelling story. Situated in Deer Management Unit 14, the farm offers excellent opportunities for whitetail, turkey, and quail. The property’s hunting history and trail-camera photographs speak to its potential, with impressive Boone & Crockett bucks. Within hours of putting feed and a camera out on the tract, the deer traffic was unbelievable. The tillable fields are loaded throughout the evening, clear until mid-morning. Sitting on the north meadow ridge, it's impressive to watch the headcounts that creep out of the timber stand and come in from the pasture in every direction. Quality deer genetics, with typical and non-typical deer on the farm and in the surrounding area, add to its appeal.

The smaller fields, natural pinch points, finger draws, and creek crossings create numerous options for stand placement and hunting different wind directions. Food, water, and cover are woven throughout the acreage, giving wildlife reasons to use the property across the seasons. For those who enjoy trapping, the creek corridor and varied habitat provide plenty of ground to keep a trapline interesting. The creek sure lives up to its name of Coon Creek, and raccoons are in abundance just like the deer and turkey!

Arrowhead hunting and artifact preservation is a high point on this farm. Just a short walk in the tillable field, you are certain to find remnants from the Native American camps that once stood here years ago, and one incredible attribute to the tract of land that brings it to another level of pure respect and appreciation.

A hunting shack and bonus “hidey-hole” camper offer a glimpse into the past and certainly make you want to slow down and enjoy what is all around. Electricity is available along 100 Road on the north side, providing an accessible utility connection for future plans. With the lay of the land, it is set perfectly for a forever build site overlooking the bottoms.

All mineral rights convey, and approximate 2025 property taxes were $639.24. This farm combines agricultural use with the outdoor experiences that made it a treasured family holding.

From spring turkey mornings and summer fishing trips to fall deer hunts and winter trapping, this lifelong playground on Coon Creek is ready for another generation of memories and is one to tour in person to appreciate all it has to offer.
