Big Woods & Big Income at Sharps Creek

Property Description

In McPherson County, along Sharps Creek, is 154 +/- acres of premium bottomland. This area is known for a vibrant archery culture and record-book deer. You could not design a better farm if you tried. The makeup is about 25% Hardwoods and 75% fertile fields of corn and soybeans. About 37 acres of mature trees with a strong variety and quality species, including burr oak, black walnut, hackberry, green ash, and cottonwood. This forest ecosystem draws deer and wildlife from miles around the rolling prairie. During both fall and springtime, this is the hotspot for traveling bucks and lonesome toms. The creek meanders right through the center of the property, not through a corner or near a neighboring property boundary. This isolation in the middle of the quarter section means that deer feel safe feeding in the open, and mature bucks make this their home range. Ambush sites for a tree stand or box blind are endless. There is no better spot to be on a November day than sitting on a scrape on one of these hidden field edges.

Wanting to get out there for a sit after a heavy rain or a cold blizzard during December rifle season? This farm is situated on paved 8th Avenue! This blacktop runs along the west boundary. There is a nice view and hilltop that was an old homestead and could become a build site again for your custom home or hunting cabin. Imagine watching your buck with a spotting scope feed in the soybeans along the creek, knowing he’ll be right under you the next morning. The blacktop provides great access year-round. On the north boundary, there is a minimum maintenance road with a low water crossing. Most of the time this is passable, except during high-water events. In the back corner of the farm is a grassy knoll. This warm-season tall grass habitat is interspersed with trees and provides great bedding habitat. This hill would also be a prime location to construct a box blind that looks over the valley below. There are so many possibilities and ways to hunt this farm it is truly remarkable.

The farm is currently planted to corn and soybeans. It has been on a corn-beans rotation for many years, but has also grown some 85 bushel wheat. This is not just a top-tier hunting property but an excellent income-producing asset. Currently on a crop share agreement that returns over $17,000 per year to the owner. This would also make an excellent addition to your farming operation. This is a farm worth traveling to. Comprised of primarily Class II Silt Loam with a NCCPI weighted score of 78. Some of the most fertile soil in the region.

The farm is close to the City of McPherson. Nearby amenities and places to stay make this property enjoyable to utilize. Good restaurants and entertainment are just a short drive away. After some summer deer chores, cool off at nearby Kanopolis Lake or mix things up with an early fall duck hunt at nearby McPherson Wildlife Area. Opportunities at properties like this are few and far between. Your only regret will be not buying more of it. Put this farm into your asset category and watch it meaningfully appreciate, generate passive income, and produce unforgettable memories.
