Move in your personal belongings, fire up the tractor, and start managing your own Kansas hunting farm! Irrigated Food Plots & Habitat Management One of the most valuable and unique features of this property is its irrigated food plot system. Three food plots totaling nearly 10 acres are currently being managed, with additional areas available for future plots if desired. Each existing plot has access to irrigation, giving the landowner the ability to establish and maintain dependable forage during the hot, dry Kansas summers and arid winters. The property contains three wells, including a high-volume well producing approximately 50 gallons per minute. Irrigation lines have been trenched throughout the farm, with supply stations positioned near the food plots. The included irrigation equipment consists of an automated, self-retracting water reel, extensive water-supply hose, and multiple remote irrigation hookups, all controlled by an app on your phone. During years when surrounding properties are struggling through drought conditions, this system provides the ability to keep food growing and wildlife returning to the farm. Not only are the food plots irrigated, but the ponds can be filled in a matter of days with the water supply provided by the wells. That combination of reliable water, established food plots, and included equipment creates a habitat-management setup that is extremely difficult to duplicate. Wildlife Habitat The habitat diversity on this farm is absolutely fantastic. Sandhills prairie, mature creek-bottom timber, cedar thickets, brushy transition cover, irrigated food plots, orchard trees, and open areas create nearly every component needed to hold wildlife throughout the year. The sandhills prairie, cedars, and brush provide excellent bedding and security cover for whitetail deer. Mature timber across the southern half of the property creates defined travel corridors, shaded bedding areas, and quality roosting habitat for wild turkeys. During the rut, bucks can cruise the timbered creek corridors while remaining concealed as they move between bedding areas and destination food sources. Nearly 10 acres of managed food plots provide dependable feeding areas, while additional plot locations allow the next owner to further customize the property. With cover, food, water, and low-impact access all working together, this farm has the ingredients needed to hold, grow, manage, and hunt mature Kansas whitetails. Deer, Turkey & Archery Hunting The hunting on this property is exceptional, particularly for archery whitetail hunters. According to the current landowner, evening sits overlooking the food plots regularly produce sightings of more than 30 deer. Flocks of 50 or more wild turkeys have also been observed using the property. Based on the owner's observations, the farm appears to maintain a healthy buck-to-doe ratio, estimated at approximately 1:1.5 up to 1:2 bucks per doe during certain periods. Multiple mature bucks are present on the farm each year, and a resident bachelor group commonly spends the summer using the property's food, water, and bedding cover. The hunting can become even more dynamic once the surrounding crops are harvested. At that point, the landowner typically sees an influx of additional mature bucks moving onto the farm. The combination of irrigated food plots, abundant bedding cover, secure creek-bottom timber, and rut travel corridors makes the property a natural destination as outside food sources disappear and bucks begin searching for does. The southern half of the property contains mature creek timber that creates excellent bowhunting cover, natural pinch points, and concealed travel routes. Brushy areas, cedar thickets, and sandhills prairie provide multiple bedding zones, while the food plots create predictable destination feeding areas. These habitat types are connected by an extensive trail system and can be accessed from multiple directions depending on the wind. Years of habitat work, food plot management, water development, and thoughtful access planning have created a farm that can be hunted strategically without placing unnecessary pressure on its highest-use areas. With mature bucks using the property every year, large evening deer numbers, and a layout designed around food, bedding, water, and travel, the archery hunting on this farm is truly phenomenal. Two elevated box blinds are included with the sale, including one Diamond hunting blind and one 360 hunting blind. With the existing trail system, multiple access points, established food plots, and included equipment, the hunting setup is ready for immediate use. Water Features & Future Pond Potential Two ponds provide additional water sources for wildlife. The pond west of the residence is supported by an operating windmill well, and an additional nearby well could provide water for future improvements. Electricity is also available near the pond. The open ground surrounding this pond may provide an opportunity to create a significantly larger water feature, potentially exceeding four acres, depending on design, engineering, soil conditions, and applicable approvals. The existing well and electrical service also create possibilities for a future pond-side structure, guest quarters, dock house, or recreational gathering area, subject to county requirements and permitting. Combined with the irrigated food plots and multiple wells, the property has a water infrastructure package rarely found on a recreational farm of this size. Access, Privacy & Trail System A gated entrance helps maintain privacy and control access to the property. An extensive interior trail system reaches the vast majority of the farm, making it easy to access food plots, hunting locations, ponds, habitat projects, and remote areas with a pickup or UTV. Road frontage along two different roads provides additional flexibility for hunting access. Depending on wind direction and stand location, hunters may be able to enter from different sides of the property and reduce disturbance in high-use bedding and feeding areas. That kind of access can make a major difference when managing pressure and hunting mature whitetails. Ranch-Style Home The ranch-style home was built in 1996 and contains approximately 2,600 square feet with three bedrooms and three bathrooms. The home offers large bedrooms, spacious living areas, and an open layout with plenty of room for everyday living, entertaining, or hosting hunting guests. The basement is approximately half finished and provides substantial storage along with room to create additional finished living space, bedrooms, a recreation room, or a hunting-gear area. The residence is served by a private well providing quality water. Numerous upgrades and improvements have been completed in recent years. Buyers should review the Seller's Disclosure and supporting documentation for the complete list of updates. 80' x 30' Insulated Metal Building The 80' times 30' metal building is the cherry on top of an already impressive property. It contains multiple bays and two large overhead doors, creating room for vehicles, tractors, implements, UTVs, mowers, tools, hunting equipment, and habitat-management supplies. A portion of the building is unconditioned equipment-storage space, making it well suited for the tractor and larger implements. The remaining portion is fully insulated, heated, and cooled, providing a comfortable work environment through the heat of summer and cold of winter. Whether used as a workshop, equipment headquarters, vehicle garage, hunting shop, or all of the above, this is a high-quality building with the space and infrastructure needed to properly operate the farm. Orchard, Garden & Irrigated Grounds A fenced orchard sits near the metal building and contains established apple, pear, and peach trees. The high fence helps protect the orchard from deer and other wildlife. Inside the fenced area is also a large garden space with room to grow vegetables, fruit, or additional plantings. The yard surrounding the residence and metal building is irrigated by an underground sprinkler system, making it easier to maintain the homesite, landscaping, orchard, and outdoor areas.
