Incredibly Well Stewarded Year-Round Hunting Retreat Along the Cottonwood River Description: Tucked into the heart of the legendary Flint Hills, this exceptional +/-99-acre recreational tract in coveted Chase County offers a rare opportunity to own a premier hunting and wildlife property along the scenic Cottonwood River. Located just 10 miles from Emporia and 11 miles from Strong City, this secluded getaway combines world-class habitat, dynamic topography, and proven hunting history in one of Kansas’ most sought-after regions. Do not let the big grass fool you on the capabilities this tract holds! The property features approximately +/-26 acres of mature hardwood timber intertwined with deep fingerling draws and over +/-140 feet of elevation change, creating ideal travel corridors and bedding habitat for mature whitetails. The remaining native grassland provides outstanding cover for upland birds and native wildlife while enhancing the natural beauty that defines the Flint Hills landscape. A secluded easement roadway leads into the farm, offering both privacy and limited disturbance with zero pressure. A carefully developed 5-acre fenced food plot is planted to a diverse fall mix of clover, wheat, and rye, complementing the property’s strong history of producing and holding trophy-class whitetails. One strategically placed tower blind is already in place and ready for immediate hunting opportunities. Down in the timber stand, travel corridors pave the way for multiple stand locations, allowing one to hunt multiple stands and play the winds. Along with world-class whitetails, turkey, quail, dove, prairie chicken, and jackrabbits thrive throughout the tract, while endless waterfowl utilize the Cottonwood River frontage and spring-fed pond for roosting and feeding opportunities. Bordered by large-scale cattle country and productive river-bottom tillable acreage, this farm sits in a highly desirable neighborhood with longtime ownership and adjoining QDMA-minded neighbors stewarding wildlife habitat to the east and west. The combination of diverse habitat, strong genetics, dependable water sources, and low hunting pressure creates a truly special recreational investment. To the north, never-ending tillable row crop fields line the riverbank and is where the migratory birds feed and then roost on the river and spring fed pond on the subject property. In deep winter months, when everything else is locked up, the Cottonwood River is piled by the millions with birds and is a waterfowlers paradise. Additional improvements include 5-strand perimeter fencing, all mineral rights intact, a spring-fed pond with room for expansion, and approximately 0.28 miles of Cottonwood River frontage. With remarkably low 2025 taxes estimated at only $261.46, this Chase County property presents a rare chance to own an elite Kansas hunting tract with tremendous recreational, habitat, and long-term investment appeal.
