Auction: Sutherland Trust – Coffey County, KS – 480 +/- AC














On behalf of the Eugene N. Sutherland Living Trust, Vaughn-Roth Land Brokers proudly presents this rare blend of cropland, native grass and top-shelf hunting properties for your consideration. There’s a total of 5 tracts with at least one to fit every buyer type, whether it be the grain producer, cattle operator or the recreational buyer searching for a secluded getaway to pursue whitetail and turkeys. The 5 tracts are all approximately 160 acres each and there are three tracts that are contiguous, allowing you to purchase up to 480 acres all together should you desire. This beautiful and diverse offering possesses inherent attributes throughout the properties that make it very unique which is easily evident upon inspection. This property is being offered via online auction that will start at Noon on November 12th and will begin closing at 9 a.m. on November 14th. This auction will feature a dynamic closing which means any bids placed in the last 3 minutes will extend the auction for another 3 minutes.
With the previous tracts being excellent prospects for the farmer and deer hunter, here’s one for the beef producer, waterfowler and fisherman! Tract 5 totals 160 acres more or less and features Native grass pasture with a large stocked pond encompassing approximately 9 acres that has the reputation in the area of being an absolute waterfowl magnet! For the cattle operator, the pond also has a gravity-fed water system below the pond to assist in providing fresh water year-round. The pond features a substantial population of bass, catfish and various sunfish species. There are multiple additional ponds on the property but they are in need of some dirt work.
The pasture mostly consists of resilient Native grass varieties including Indian Grass, Big Bluestem, Little Bluestem, Switchgrass along with an array of high-protein and palatable legumes such as Illinois Bundleflower. The boundary fences are barbed wire and rate from fair to good, depending on the section. In past years, this property was set up for rotational grazing and with some sweat equity combined with some fence supplies, could have the division fence put back in operation in short order.
For those wanting some return on investment, there has been a long-time pasture tenant on the property who would desire to keep renting it if the new owner has any interest in continuing this.
