Pristine Grassland with Spring-Fed Pond on the Historic Santa Fe Trail

Property Description

Located less than 5 miles northwest of Lehigh, Kansas sits this exceptional 77 +/- acres of pristine native grassland with a rich history. Offering a rare combination of productive hay ground, outstanding recreational opportunities, and an excellent future homesite, this property is ideal for ranchers, sportsmen, or anyone seeking a secluded country retreat.

The property features an excellent stand of native grasses that have been consistently maintained and used as a productive hay meadow. A 3 +/- acre spring-fed pond serves as the centerpiece of the property, producing trophy largemouth bass reportedly reaching 8 pounds, along with quality crappie up to 18 inches. For hunters, the property lies along a natural travel corridor used by whitetail deer moving between feeding and bedding areas. The current owner has harvested multiple Boone and Crockett bucks in the immediate area in the past. The clear-water pond also attracts ducks, geese, and doves throughout the fall and winter months, meaning this land can provide year-round recreational opportunities.

Historic trail markers are located within walking distance, adding a remarkable historical element rarely found.

The property has county road access on three sides, with electric run along each road. Nearby municipal wells indicate excellent groundwater potential, making this an outstanding location for a future home, weekend cabin, or rural retreat. With virtually no surrounding light pollution, the nighttime skies are spectacular along with the peace and quiet offered by this secluded area.
