Property Description

This once-in-a-lifetime 180 +/- acre tract offers all of the top-end hunting one could ever dream of with big hardwood timber stands, fertile creek bottom tillable acres for internal food sources, and protected meadows and bedding areas. With the perfect foundation set in place, what an opportunity to create a world-class recreation farm with ideal passive ag income.

The 180 +/- acres are made up of 63 +/- acres of low-lying tillable row crops that were planted this past year to corn and rotated between corn and soybeans annually. Soil types of Reading and Kennebec, considered Class I and Class II, make up the tillable foundation that allows for year after year above-average yields. The average tillable rent price per acre of $152.00. The tillable acres are well protected with roadway screening and the land couture sloping in towards the creek. The 97 +/- acres of hardwood timber stand are impressive and hold a prime opportunity for an individual to harvest a large amount of mature black walnuts and oaks without making an impact on the overall just based on the volume. Along with the black walnuts, white oaks, and burr oaks, the majority of tree species are sycamore, hackberry, elm, ash, and a few cedars throughout. With the dramatic elevation changes over 125 ft. from the highest point on the east to the middle of the farm in the Coon Creek bottoms, the funnels and pinch points are unreal throughout the draws and timber blocks that surround the tillable acres. The 20 +/- acres of hay meadow are as clean as they come with a strong stand of native and brome grass. The east 16 +/- acres of native hay meadow sit on the most easterly side with the remaining 4 +/- acres of brome meadow laying on the hillside of the west tillable plot along 500th Rd. The average meadow lease price per acre of $45.00 annually. Total ag income of $10,296.00. Tillable and hay meadow acres are leased for the 2024 season with the buyer assuming current lease.

The hunting on the farm has been next to zero being allowed. Walking throughout the farm, in every direction you look you will see incredible deer signs. Rubs and scrapes line the trails. The northern timber and bedded sanctuary are where the big boys hang out along with the meadow grass acres with the south-facing slope. Walking the farm each time, it is impressive how many deer are bumped up or feeding in the bottoms. Along with whitetails, turkeys are very present as well. Hunting unit number 10.

If you are looking to build your dream home or getaway retreat, you will have every opportunity with several build site locations. With road frontage on the east and west sides with utilities available. FreeState Electric Cooperative and Rural Water District #6, with a rural water meter already onsite and transfers to the new owner.

From top-end hunting to prime agricultural production, this incredible 180 +/- acre farm holds incredible opportunity. Being in person is the only way to truly grasp and take in all this tract has to offer! Call Brenda Doudican at (620) 794-8075 for additional information, and questions and to schedule your tour.
