Flint Hills Pasture and Whitetail Mecca

Nestled in the Flint Hills, this one of a kind property sits right between Marion and Cottonwood Falls, north of Cedar Point on the Chase/Marion county line. The property has everything that a rancher or investment-minded recreational buyer could ask for. The property consists of about 20 acres of tillable ground, 20 acres of cool season grasses in a bottom, which could be converted to tillable, 80 acres of timber, and 120 acres of native grass. Income between the tillable and cattle lease currently totals $5,100 - $800 crop ground and $4,300 pasture lease. The cattle lease will end October 15, 2019 and the tillable lease will end on March 15, 2020.

This piece is fully fenced and cross fenced with a nice two track road throughout. There are a total of three ponds situated evenly throughout the property with the largest located in the middle of the farm. The farm provides an incredible amount of edge, which is hard to appreciate without seeing it in person. The terrain consists of a gentle roll from the west down into the bottoms and back up on the east side. French Creek runs from north to south through the pond and provides incredible funnels and pinch points for wildlife. The amount of walnut trees on the property is tremendous and a selective timber harvest of them is very possible without causing any major effect on the ecosystem.

Deer rubs and scrapes, and turkey sign can be found throughout the farm. I have not set foot on the property yet without seeing both deer and turkeys. Quail can be found and heard singing in many different parts of the farm and prairie chickens are commonly seen in the area. This is a very well known big deer area, and to top it off, this property has not been hunted since the sellers purchased it 25 years ago. From a hunting standpoint, the access is incredible. A dead-end road leads into the southeast corner of the parcel with the main road frontage on the western edge. The farm is conveniently located just 15 minutes from Marion and has any amenities you could need. Electricity has been run to the middle of the property with a meter located towards the center, where two wells can also be found. One well is a hand pump which still operates, but the main well is a cased deep well. Two older barns and a set of corrals with a waterer can be found in the same location. This tract sits 1 hour 12 minutes from Wichita, 50 minutes from Emporia, and 2 hours 30 minutes from Kansas City. With beautiful homesites, the potential to expand a cattle operation, or for a hidden hunting gem that has had no pressure for a quarter of a decade, this multifaceted property is sure to turn heads.
