2600 Road 6, Protection, KS 67127

Located along the Comanche and Kiowa County line, this 1,704.7A± acre property offers a diverse combination of native grassland, timbered draws, tillable acreage, water features, and well-designed improvements. The property has been managed to support both agricultural and recreational uses while providing convenient access throughout by county road frontage. The landscape consists primarily of gently rolling native grass interspersed with mature timbered draws that create natural travel corridors for wildlife while providing excellent grazing opportunities if desired. Approximately 94 acres are currently in tillable production, with additional acreage established as food plots to benefit wildlife. The varied terrain, combined with multiple habitat types, creates a property suited for livestock operations, hunting, and year-round outdoor recreation. The west side of the ranch has seen several recent improvements focused on wildlife habitat. New food plots have been established to provide forage for deer, and a pair of newly constructed ponds expand available water sources. These ponds also provide seasonal opportunities for waterfowl as migration conditions allow. The combination of native grasses, scattered cover, and water creates a balanced habitat across this portion of the property. The eastern side offers a different landscape, featuring heavier concentrations of mature timber, mixed with tillable fields positioned along the edges. This transition between cover and agricultural acreage creates natural movement patterns for wildlife. A large pond on the east side seasonally attracts waterfowl while also serving as an additional water source for wildlife. The diversity between the eastern and western portions provides a variety of hunting setups and management options throughout the property. The residence adds significant value and functionality to the ranch. Originally constructed in 1928, the home has been recently updated while maintaining its character. Offering approximately 2,178 square feet of living space, it includes six bedrooms and two full bathrooms, making it well-suited as either a full-time residence or a hunting lodge capable of accommodating family and guests during hunting season. A newly constructed metal shop complements the home and provides extensive utility for ranch operations and equipment storage. The building includes an overhang for larger machinery and equipment, along with enclosed storage for vehicles, UTVs, and hunting gear. A full bathroom adds convenience for daily work around the property. One of the shop's standout features is its dedicated game processing room. Designed with functionality in mind, it includes a large walk-in cooler, an overhead winch for hanging game, a floor drain, and a cutting table. These improvements provide an efficient space for processing harvested game directly on the property. County road frontage provides dependable access around the ranch, allowing convenient movement to multiple areas of the property for ranch management, equipment transport, livestock operations, or hunting access. The combination of road access and the property's layout allows different portions of the ranch to be utilized efficiently throughout the year. Whether the next owner is seeking a working grass ranch, recreational hunting property, or a combination of both, this property offers a blend of habitat diversity, productive acreage, quality improvements, and operational infrastructure. The updated home, functional shop, dedicated game-processing facilities, established food plots, ponds, native grass, timbered draws, and tillable acreage combine to create a versatile ranch in south-central Kansas with opportunities for agricultural production and outdoor recreation.
