As you move west from Wichita, the ability to maintain a source of natural water becomes increasingly difficult. Creeks, rivers, and most ponds are all somewhat susceptible to getting low or going dry in the heat of the summer. Unless you are lucky enough to have good quality springs. The value of having ponds or, even better, a pond system that is supplied by springs that seem to never go dry is significant. With 7 ponds and an additional wetland area that is all supplied by several springs and the headwaters of Blue Stem Creek, this system of ponds is certainly highly desirable.

As you move west from Wichita, the ability to maintain a source of natural water becomes increasingly difficult. Creeks, rivers, and most ponds are all somewhat susceptible to getting low or going dry in the heat of the summer. Unless you are lucky enough to have good quality springs. The value of having ponds or, even better, a pond system that is supplied by springs that seem to never go dry is significant. With 7 ponds and an additional wetland area that is all supplied by several springs and the headwaters of Blue Stem Creek, this system of ponds is certainly highly desirable. There are 5 ponds that are connected with overflow piping that runs from the north end of the property all the way down to the south and eventually flowing under the county road and onto the neighboring property. There are several additional ponds that have always maintained a consistent water level just with their own springs. Of course, the fishing has been spectacular through the years with good quality management, and this conservation will certainly be required by the next owners to maintain the fishery. The ponds have large bass, crappies, and catfish. These ponds also fill with waterfowl, with Canada geese being the predominant visitor in the both spring and fall. Various duck species also utilize the ponds, with mallards being the most populated in the fall months. To the north of the main pond system, there are several low areas where the springs flirt with the ground level, and in years past, with cooler, wetter months, these areas have also held water in a shallow fashion and have really been a strong attractant for ducks. For the serious waterfowl hunter, some construction of a floodable food source in these areas could be possible to enhance the staying power of the fall migrations. The farm also has several nice pockets of native grass and planted switch grass that holds several coveys of quail. The outer reaches of the property are currently being grazed, but if your priority is upland bird hunting, some milo strips and additional grass plantings would certainly increase the cover and bird population. There are a few pockets of trees, and the farm also almost always holds deer, and you could increase opportunities there with some deer blinds and feeders if so desired. Overlooking the main pond system is a smaller one level home built that was built in 1990, which has been remodeled and is in excellent condition. It maintains 2 bedrooms, one bathroom, and a kitchen and living area with 1,280 total square feet. The home has an expansive deck that is surrounded by towering mature trees and is the perfect place to entertain family or guests while watching your kids catch fish. The property boasts a variety of large trees, including Walnut, Oak, Cypress, and Cottonwood, just to name a few. The yard area is several acres, and the current owners have maintained a manicured yard that surrounds all of the ponds for easy and safe access. Located just 42 miles from ICT and 47 miles from downtown Wichita! For the recreational minded family or group that wants a place to build memories with fishing and hunting, this is that opportunity.
