I get asked all the time if I ever have a great hunting farm with some tillable for income and a place to stay. My answer is usually no those are hard to find. So when I had the chance to represent this great Farm I thought let's just have an auction as the prices on farms has went up so fast lately even I cant keep up with it all. This 120 acres sits on a very off the beaten path county road that is rarely used. The Timber is made up of a lot of cedar and hedge thickets with a nice mix of big Oaks and hardwoods. The south block of woods has a hidden pond right in the middle a perfect watering hole for the deer but the small wet weather drainage that runs thru it typically has water in it as well. The long narrow hidden field lays perfectly surrounded by timber to be that honey hole clover or alfalfa patch that fills up with deer every afternoon. The North block of woods has a wet weather drainage running thru it as well as a power company ROW that makes for a great place to catch those bucks crossing in late November. The field on the North boundary has been taken out of ag production just recently to create more wildlife habitat. The seller has planted 16 pear, 2 apple, 6 persimmon, and 2 crabapple trees. 4 of these are 3 years old and produced some fruit in 2022 the balance were just planted in 2022. If a buyer does not want the fruit trees the seller will remove them and take to his new farm.
The farm has a total of approx 55 tillable acres if you include that North field. But currently in production is 28 acres in the middle just South of the house and the 2 small fields to the south consist of 10 acres. These are all planted in wheat with local farmer Bobby Moore on a share crop 1/3 2/3 agreement. Seller retains the current planted wheat but the buyer will get the next crop after wheat harvest. It should get planted in soybeans in June and buyer will get 1/3 of soybeans in November.
The house was built by the seller in 2005 as a small 2 bed 1 bath cabin. He just recently added a wing off the back and added a master suite bed and bath and laundry room. He just replaced the HVAC to an all brand new unit as well as just built a brand new red iron shop 30X50X10 on a concrete slab with a 16X8 overhead door and a walk door. As of taking pics the wiring in shop was not finished but the seller will have the wiring finished before closing. Sitting behind locked gates this house and shop combo overlook a nice big pond full of fish. While sitting under the shade from the numerous big oak trees around the house you can daydream about the falling leaves and migrating ducks and rutting bucks.
Now let's talk location, the most important aspect in real estate. This farm sits just 1 mile South of the Legendary Kansas Army Ammunition Plant. This 14,000+ acre complex was once a large manufacturing facility for the government building bombs dating back to post WWII. The entire complex is still highly managed mostly under KDWP with limited big game hunts but no waterfowl hunting. This has created a sanctuary of sorts for all wildlife and the waterfowl use the 100's of ponds as loafing and roosting ponds as they never get disturbed. Couple this with the Neosho Wildlife Refuge at St Paul just 6 miles to the North of the plant that holds at times 50,000 mallards and you can start to understand the reason this area of SEK is quickly becoming the go to hotspot for ducks in the midwest. This farm currently has no duck habitat in place but the tillable fields lay flat enough you could create some wetland marshes with ease. This farm could very simply be one of those great Big Buck and Duck hunting farms everyone has always dreamed of.
