Tract 8 totals 128 +/- 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 southern and eastern borders and features over 1/2-miles of timber flanked creek, along with land with productive crop type soils that are currently sown to grass with additional cattle feeding facilities.

If you have been looking for a small affordable sized hunting tract that has excellent deer and turkey hunting this is a great offering. With large trophy Whitetail Deer and turkeys regularly frequenting the tract this fall, along with tillable potential of the property and great seclusion from the public road, this tract has potential to be a phenomenal hunting unit. Located in a large primary travel corridor, this tract is utilized by trophy bucks from near and far throughout the rut with good timber present on the parcel for holding deer and turkeys year-round. With the soil types present on the property (Ivan, Elmont, Kenoma Silt Loam soils) it would be easy to add highly productive food plots or cropland to the tract to further enhance the hunting appeal and income potential on the property.

For hunters looking to add food to the tract to further enhance the holding potential of the property, or for farmers looking for additional tillable acreage to their operation, the property features multiple areas with good tillable potential. Land west of the creek was all farmed in the past before being sown back to grass (has some sericea pressure, was aerial sprayed this fall). The land located directly west of this property is currently in crop production. The eastern half of the land west of the creek, along with the hay meadow on the southern side of the tract features good quality silt loam crop type soils with 40+ acres of land being composed of roughly 45% Ivan Silt Loam (class II bottomland soil), 40% Elmont Silt Loam (class II upland soil), and 15% Kenoma Silt Loam (class III upland soil) soil varieties. The addition of 40+ acres of cropland to the tract would greatly enhance the hunting appeal of the property making it one of the best hunting units in the area and additionally increase the income potential of the tract.

For cattle operators, a nice set of pipe feeding pens with grass traps is located in the eastern half of the tract. Two pens, each with 100’ of concrete bunks and automatic waters, along with sorting pens and loadout, are located on the tract. Pens are watered via rural water with each pen having a corresponding grass trap. Pens and fences for the grass traps are in good condition.

For those looking to build in the country the property already has a water meter in place and has electrical service running along the road. With over ½ mile of creek and timber the property would make a lovely location in the country to call home!

This beautiful parcel has a lot to offer to many types of buyers and is loaded with potential. Please give Henry Ott a call at 620-437-7340 if you would like to take a look or have questions. Thank you!

*Land west of the creek is currently accessed via an easement across an adjoining landowner. A good location just SW of the pens is present that would offer a nice affordable location to add an additional creek crossing to the property.
