Property Description

Located in the fertile river bottoms of the North Fork Solomon River, this 239 +/- acre property offers an outstanding combination of highly productive farmland and exceptional hunting opportunities. With approximately 158 +/- irrigated acres and nearly 190 +/- total tillable acres, the farm provides strong income potential from both irrigated and dryland production. Supporting the farm's productivity are three irrigation pivots accompanied by multiple water rights, providing valuable water resources that help maximize crop production and add long-term value to the property.

What truly separates this property from many others is the presence of the North Fork Solomon River itself. A portion of the river winds directly through the farm, creating a rare blend of income producing cropland and diverse wildlife habitat. The river corridor, combined with natural cover and travel routes on the property, provides excellent conditions for whitetail deer, turkey, and other Kansas wildlife. Whether you're watching deer move from bedding cover to surrounding crop fields or enjoying a fall evening along the riverbank, this farm offers the type of recreational experience buyers seek but seldom find alongside productive farmland.

Properties that combine substantial irrigated acreage, productive dryland farming, valuable water rights, live water, and quality hunting are increasingly difficult to find in today's market. Whether you're an operator seeking additional acreage, an investor looking for dependable agricultural returns, or a sportsman wanting a property that can generate income while providing outstanding recreation, this Smith County farm delivers a unique opportunity to own a premier piece of North Central Kansas land.
