This farm totals 233 +/- acres and will sell via online auction and be offered in multiple parcels. The auction will open at 12:00 p.m. on March 24th and end on March 26th with a dynamic closing beginning at 10:00 a.m. for Tract 1, 12:00 p.m. for Tract 2 and 2:00 p.m. for Tract 3. Tract 1 is located south of KS-58 HWY, totals 88 +/- acres, and is a highly tillable crop unit with a 1600sf home and good hunting appeal. Tract 2 is located north of KS-58 HWY, totals 145 +/- acres and includes deep timbered draws, rolling grasslands, a beautiful pond, and a newer shed with concrete floor. This parcel features exceptional hunting with multiple big deer killed on the property. Tract 3 is the combination of Tracts 1 and 2 and totals 233 +/- acres. After Tract 1 and Tract 2 bidding has concluded, their bid totals will be added together and an escalator of $50,000 will be added to the bid. This will be where the bidding for Tract 3 will begin. If a bid is received on Tract 3 with the escalator in place the property will sell as a combined 233 +/- Acre unit. If no bid is received on Tract 3 with the escalator in place the property will sell as individual parcels at the original bid amounts for each tract. There is NO Buyers Premium for this auction!
Tract 2 totals 145 +/- acres and is a beautiful rolling Flint Hills pasture unit with excellent hunting appeal and a wonderful potential build site located along the Verdigris River Valley. The property has good access with paved KS-58 HWY running along the southern border of the tract. The property features beautiful rolling grasslands (nearly 100’ of elevation change) with large deep secluded timbered draws with Oaks scattered throughout, a gorgeous pond in the bottom of the draw, expansive views overlooking the Verdigris River Valley, and a nice newer shed with concrete floor and electrical service (meter will need to be added as it is currently tied to the meter across the road to the south). Whether you are looking for an exceptional deer hunting property, are looking for native grass pasture to graze your cattle, or are looking for a great potential location to build in the country you aren’t going to want to miss out on this exceptional opportunity!
For recreational buyers this is a proven top notch deer parcel that you will want to move to the top of your list! Located along the edge of the highly desirable Verdigris River Valley, this property is well known for holding strong populations of quality Whitetail Deer. With exceptional seclusion from the public road, and deep secluded draws with Oak timber running directly to the cropland in the Verdigris River Valley, this property acts as an excellent bedding area and travel corridor for holding strong populations of deer throughout the year. When viewing the property, 20+ deer were viewed running from the draws on the property. If you are looking for a proven deer hunting property (multiple large deer have been shot on the property) that has all the beauty a Verdigris Valley Farm in the Flint Hills has to offer this is one you will want to take a look at! The property is located near crop fields (has a small field on it as well) and has turkeys and quail using the property as well. For fisherman, the property includes a beautiful pond that sits in a timbered draw on the property offering good fishing opportunities as well.
In addition to the agricultural and hunting opportunities the tract provides, it would also make a wonderful location to build in the country with paved road access and beautiful views. The property already features a nice newer 1200sf shed with concrete floor and electrical service for storing stands, side-by-side, fishing poles, etc for the recreational type buyer (will have to add a meter through Evergy (800-383-1183) as electrical service is currently tied to the meter on the south side of KS-58 HWY). A rural water line is located at the SW corner of the property but water will likely have to come from across the road to the south given the topography of the tract. Please contract Greenwood County Rural Water District 3 at 620-437-6309 to verify meter availability and capacity. Fiber internet and phone lines are additionally located along the south side of KS-58 HWY (MT Networks: 620-437-2356). Opportunities don’t come along often that combine paved road access, location near utilities, and gorgeous pond, and beautiful views overlooking the Verdigris River Valley.
