Rice County River Bottom Sanctuary

South of Little River, along the bottomland fields along the Little Arkansas River, sits this 144.58 +/- acre wildlife refuge! Dry Creek and Lone Tree Creek flow through this farm, meeting at the Little Arkansas River on the property, creating a habitat that supports deer, turkeys, and quail year-round.

The minute you arrive at the farm, you will notice the rich black river bottom soils that will continually raise strong crops and push yields for any farm operation. The farm is nearly all Class I, Detroit Sil Loam, and has an NCCPI score of 66.1. With 107.98 +/- acres of the rich ground are tillable, giving any owner a solid income stream. The farm is a nice, flat river-bottom farm with proper drainage and slope, making it suitable for anyone who may want to add a future wetland habitat. The farm sits close to key commodity markets in Lyons, McPherson, and Hutchinson, guaranteeing you strong markets for the large crops this farm will produce.

The heart of this farm's sanctuary appeal for any hunter must be the Little Ark River that bends through the north portion of this farm, and the veins are the meandering Dry Creek and Lone Tree Creek that split the north half into four secluded fields. This creates unmatched seclusion throughout the growing year for a big Kansas buck. The steep creek and riverbanks and layout of the farm provide solid pinch points and creek crossings, providing excellent stand locations for future success. Multiple water sources allow the farm to have a reliable water source even in the driest times of the year. Nearly 37 +/- acres of the farm are hardwood elm, cottonwood, maple, oak, and walnut creek bottoms, providing great roost trees for turkeys, the tree lines for quail to thrive, and a scenic fall backdrop during hunting season. Food, water, and a nice bedroom are what you often hear, and there is no doubt this farm has all three!

This 144.58 +/- acre tract sits in Unit 6 and has the makings to be a top-end hunting farm and tillable farm well beyond our own lifetime. Contact Listing Agent Tyler Heil at (913) 207-4541 to answer any questions or schedule a showing.
