The 180 +/- acres are made up of 63 +/- acres of low-lying tillable row crops that were planted this past year in 2023 to corn and have been rotated between corn and soybeans annually. Soil types of Reading and Kennebec, considered Class I and Class II make up the tillable foundation that allows for year after year above-average yields. Average tillable rent price per acre of $152.00 with an outstanding tenant who is a true steward of the land. The 97 +/- acres of hardwood timber stand are impressive and hold a prime opportunity for an individual to harvest a large amount of mature black walnuts and oaks without making an impact on the overall just based on the volume. Along with the black walnut, white oak, burr oak, and chickapin oak, the majority of tree species are sycamore, hackberry, elm, ash, and a few cedars throughout. With the dramatic elevation changes over 125 feet from the highest point on the east to the middle of the farm in the Coon Creek bottoms, the funnels and pinch points are unreal throughout the draws and timber blocks that surround the tillable acres. It is impressive with the depth and always flowing water Coon Creek provides. With a rock bottom and crystal clear water being fed from the springs, this creek is a major contributor to the farm and runs straight to the Kansas River just 2 miles to the north. The 20 +/- acres of hay meadow are as clean as they come with a strong stand of 16 +/- acres of native grass on the east hillside and 4 +/- acres of brome grass on the westerly side. In the native grassland, the meadow is as pristine as the native meadows come with gently rolling slopes, and clean grass stands and in the summertime, several native wildflowers bloom throughout, which shows a strong and healthy stand of grass. The average meadow lease price per acre of $45.00 annually. Total ag income of $10,296.00. Tillable and hay meadow acres are leased for the 2024 year with the buyer assuming the current lease.
Walking throughout the farm, in every direction you look you will see incredible deer signs. Rubs and scrapes line the trails. The pocket of native grass wrapped in the middle of the timber block just north of the tillable acres is a bedding sanctuary. Walking the farm each time it is impressive how many deer are bumped up or feeding in the bottoms. Along with whitetails, turkeys are very present as well with above-average counts each time on the farm. Hunting on the farm has been limited for the past 45 years with little to no pressure. Hunting unit number 10.
