Tract 3 is the combination of Tract 1 and Tract 2 and encompasses 320 +/- acres and is one of the most well-built and cared-for cattle headquarter units you are going to find anywhere with an additional 160-acres of native grass. The facility is extremely well designed with no expenses spared in its construction with a vast majority of improvements built since 2004. As you enter the property from the east you will see the beautiful home on the parcel located north of the driveway. This home was constructed in 2004 and is well cared for and in good condition with roughly 3000sf of finished living space. The home is a 1.5-story, 5-bed, 3.5-bath design home with finished basement and attached 2-car garage.
As you move west from the home you reach the large 3200sf steel framed heated and insulated shop with full concrete floor, large concrete approach, two large overhead doors, and oil changing pit. Additional sheds in excellent condition on the property include a 4800sf steel framed hay shed, 1584sf concrete and steel framed 4-bay commodity shed, and 4800sf state of the art processing facility. Two additional older sheds are located on the property that feature over 6500sf of space for equipment and supply storage. The processing facility on the property is extremely well designed and features an extensive set of adjoining pipe and guardrail sorting/holding pens along with four horse runs with automatic waterers connected to horse stalls on the inside of the building. The processing building is steel framed with full concrete floor, water, extremely nice interior pens, a double hydraulic alley, Silencer chute with scales, semi and trailer loadouts, good lighting, heaters by chute, and finished space that includes a heated and cooled office, tack room, and additional room for Silencer motor. Improvements on this property are very thoughtfully designed and are in great condition.
As you head west from the improvement site on the property you pass by three silage pits on the right side of the road (one full pit of Sorghum Silage will be included with the sale of this property) and a large driving alley that runs to the processing barn from the backgrounding lot pens to the west on the left side of the road. You then reach a very well-designed backgrounding lot with 800’ of in-line concrete bunks with concrete aprons, pipe and guardrail pens (four large pens each subdivided into two pens with hotwire), and Johnson automatic waterers. This set of pens has a nice back alley that leads to a large push alley that heads straight to the processing barn. The property features five additional nice cool season grass traps that each include a set of pipe/guardrail pens along with a 100’ of in-line concrete bunks, concrete aprons, and automatic waters. The northern set of four grass traps and pens additionally features its own nice set of sorting pens, tub, alley, chute, and trailer loadout. To the west of the headquarter site sits an excellent 160-acres of native grass meadow/pasture that is highly hayable with highly productive upland crop class II and III soils. The 160-acre grass parcel has paved road access along its western border with utilities located along the road for those looking to build in the country. Please contact Lyon County RWD #5 at 620-583-0173 with questions regarding rural water availability and capacity.
While this property is a top-of-the-line cattle facility and headquarter site it additionally provides recreational appeal for those who like to hunt as well. The northeastern corner of the property is composed of heavy timber and a creek with excellent deer and turkey populations (tremendous documentation directly across the road to the east of this property on Tract 4). Additionally, for waterfowl hunters the property features three ponds that offer good hunting opportunities with ducks and geese regularly present when viewing the parcel.
If you have been looking for an excellent, modern, well designed headquarter site with nice home, improvements, cattle feeding and processing facilities, and nice native grass you aren’t going to find a nicer one around. Featured regularly for cattle facility ag field days, the care and design of this facility is second to none and is one you won’t want to miss out on. If you would like to take a tour or have questions, please give Henry Ott a call at 620-437-7340. Thank you!
