Today, the pasture holds a main travel route for sitting along Old K-4 Road and provides year-round well-maintained access. Climbing up from Eskridge, the elevation changes are dramatic and once at the gate entrance of the ranch, you are at one of the highest points in the area, known as Gun Barrel Hill, overlooking Lake Wabaunsee.

Entering the pasture, the native bluestem grass has been exceptionally well maintained with a strong stand and as clean as they come throughout the entire ranch. Driving throughout, the prairie chicken pack that was bumped were tough to see nestled in the thick grass stand. There are 4 watering ponds throughout in above average condition, majority spring fed with 2 recently receiving new dam work and drain tubes. Several natural springs run year-round and feed the below Lake Wabaunsee to the north. Water on the pasture is superb with an even balance throughout. The fencing throughout is in average condition with majority 5-strand barbed wire. There are 3 high pole gate entrances throughout with 4 additional gate entrances allowing ideal access to move livestock and burn. Primary access for loading and unloading in the southwest corner and the northeast corner. A wing fence runs off the northeast corner funneling to the alley that kicks out on the east section along Old K-4 Road. The current tenant holds the 2023 lease and has been tried and true remaining in place for over 60 years and grazes the summer 90-120 day grass.

In 2007 the ranch was the host site of the Symphony in the Flint Hills and will be returning this year as the 2023 host site. With the picturesque landscape at the highest elevation and a backdrop overlooking Lake Wabaunsee, there is no question why this ranch is a favored location. The sunsets on the ranch are a thing of beauty and being wrapped in the serenity of the Flint Hills, you are taken to a place of peace that you cant ever find anywhere else, and is why this ranch is one to tour in person!
