Grade 'A' Recreation Farm

Property Description

Located in south-central Kansas near Hutchinson is 157 +/- acres of big buck producing and income-generating land for sale. This once-in-a-generation opportunity can be hard to describe. Cow Creek is a year-round stream situated between the Arkansas River and the Sandhill Prairie. The creek twists and turns across the fertile valley and enters the Arkansas River just a few miles south. A fantastic addition to any row crop operation, this farm produces record-setting yields. Covered in wildlife, you will not find another property with such well-rounded credentials for the discerning sportsman. Towering cottonwood trees roost spring gobblers that fly down to strut along the hidden field edge. Sturdy populations of pheasants and quail hug thick cover along the fencerow. Scores of catfish run the banks of the creek all summer for endless fishing memories, mallards trickle up and down the creek during winter months resting on ice-free riffles and feeding in cut grain fields, and of course, bruiser bucks parade the bottoms each November.

Cow Creek is one of the premiere rut travel corridors in the midwest, as documented on popular TV shows. On this creek, any buck can show up on any given day. The regional landscape is a natural funnel concentrating deer to this farm. The property is secluded, but with accessibility to each side of the creek. On the west, a tree-lined dead-end road screens a hunter's entrance. On the east, a dead-end curve greets you with zero visibility into the property. It couldn’t be planned better. The east side of the farm is characterized by mature timber and extremely thick expired CRP. This dense habitat accounts for 44 acres. This bedding area is just a short distance from vast food sources and is unable to be disturbed by anyone except the owner. Warm season grasses and successional tree species create thick cover for resting deer. As dawn or dusk approaches, the deer activity is drawn to the 113 acres of tillable farmland on the west side of the property currently planted to wheat. This productive Class II soil raises excellent yields of wheat, corn, milo, and soybeans.

There are so many possibilities with this farm ground. If the farm is left in current crop production, it will generate substantial income and continue to attract mobs of deer, an attractive prospect for the investment-minded hunter. The 113 acres of farmland could also partially or be completely enrolled in CRP to add even more bedding cover and provide dependable yearly income. Clay inclusions in the soil and a dependable water source for pumping make possible the development of duck impoundments in the renowned flyway that is Reno County. The nooks and crannies created by the meandering creek would make incredible food plot locations with fertile soils that provide excellent growing conditions. Portions of crops could be left standing such as double-crop grain sorghum to attract deer from miles around to dine in the standing milo. This open field has numerous opportunities for firearm hunting setups, but also secluded trails in the woods for archery. Just a short drive from neighboring towns and the micropolitan city of Hutchinson. Hutchinson provides conveniences like hotels, nice restaurants, and sporting goods that are just a 15 minute drive. Hutchinson Regional Airport has a 7,000' runway with charter service. This property offers it all! Don’t hesitate, this farm has a lot going for it and won’t be available long.
