Tract 4 totals 80 +/- acres in size and is a diversified agricultural unit with excellent hunting appeal, along with build site potential. The property has gravel road access along its northern and western borders and features 1/4 miles of creek and heavy timber, along with land with highly productive crop type soils that are currently sown to grass.

If you have been looking for a small affordable sized hunting tract that has excellent deer and turkey hunting you won’t want to miss out on this offering. The number, and consistency, of large trophy Whitetail Deer and turkeys frequenting the tract this fall is nothing short of incredible with shooters traveling through the property nearly every day (please take a look at the included trail cam pics from this fall). With two large creek drainages that act as the primary travel corridors in the area converging near the southeast corner of this property, the tract is utilized by trophy bucks from near and far throughout the rut with good timber present for holding deer and turkeys year-round along the creek on the parcel. With the soil types present on the property it would be very easy to add highly productive food plots or cropland to the tract to further enhance the hunting appeal and income potential on the property.

When the current owners purchased this property, it was in crop production and it was only sown down because they weren’t farmers and instead were running cattle. Soils located south of the creek are composed primarily of good quality class I and II Reading, Ivan, and Chase varieties while soils north of the creek are composed of primarily Kenoma and Elmont upland crop type soils. Converting grass acreage into crop acreage on the property would be highly feasible and would further enhance the hunting appeal and income potential on the tract.

Land on the property located south of the creek is fully fenced and includes pipe feeding pens with 100’ of in-line concrete bunks and an automatic waterer (rural water is ran from Tract 1 so a meter would need to be added to the tract if Buyer wished to continue using the waterer and the Buyer didn’t also purchase Tract 1). Land on the property is located north of the creek is unfenced and is utilized for hay production.

For those looking for a beautiful affordable sized tract in the country to build this tract would make a great option. The tract is located within an easy 10-minute drive of Emporia and is located within 2-miles of pavement. Water and electrical service both adjoin the property. Please contact Lyon County RWD #5 at 620-583-0173 with questions regarding rural water availability and capacity.

This is a beautiful affordable sized parcel that you won’t want to miss. Whether you are a hunter, cattle man, row-crop farmer, or are looking for a location to build your dream home in the country this property has a lot to offer.
