Located just 1 ½ miles south of Melvern Lake, 2 miles off I-35 between Lebo and Olivet, Kansas, sits this secluded 240 acres that holds a ton of opportunity while remaining a hidden gem. If you are looking for a premium retreat farm to enjoy the outdoors, this is it!
The 240 acres are made up of 209 acres of native bluestem grass, 57 of those acres were at one point broke and farmed in the mid 1940’s, then put back to native. Within the pasture, 4 ponds are spread throughout providing endless water for livestock in addition to the natural springs. With 3 gate entrances and 2 maintained road fronts, access to the property would never be a concern. No current grazing lease on the 2022 year if purchased prior to April 1, 2022 allowing the new owner to self-graze, lease or run fallow. Average grazing income $7,200.00 annually. Past years have been grazed with 120-day grass.

31 of the acres are mature timber and a creek that runs throughout the entire tract and are a tributary to Frog Creek. The timber stand is made up of walnut, elm, Osage orange cottonwood and locust and holds a highway system for deer. Every direction there is a trail with deer signs along the way, just jump on and go. Every time on the farm I am bumping whitetails from the draws and from behind the west ponds. With the seclusion, elevation, never-ending water and food sources all around, it’s the perfect sanctuary! The fingerling draws that funnel off create the perfect areas for smaller food plots. And after a spring pasture burn, be ready for endless turkey. They can’t get enough of strutting in the fresh prairie grass. So many opportunities for year-round hunting!
With the accessible location and utilities available this tract would make an ideal building location along the north side. The sunrises and sunsets don’t get any better than from the view on the hill overlooking the countryside. Now add in all the recreation one can enjoy on Melvern Lake with boating, fishing, camping in addition to the farm, it’s endless! This tract is one-of-a-kind and hard to come by which is why it won’t last long!
