Located in the heart of Barber County, Kansas, this mixed use ranch offers an exceptional combination of diverse wildlife habitat, productive agricultural acreage, grazing opportunities, and recreational appeal. Just four miles from US Highway 281 and approximately 14 miles from Medicine Lodge, the property provides convenient access while maintaining a secluded setting with limited public exposure. Access is provided from the northwest, allowing privacy without sacrificing usability.

The landscape showcases the characteristics that have made Barber County well known among landowners, hunters, and ranchers. Rolling native grass hills transition into wooded creek bottoms lined with mature cottonwoods, while scattered cedar thickets and extensive sand plum cover create a varied environment that supports both wildlife and livestock. This diversity in vegetation and topography provides multiple habitat types across the ranch and contributes to year-round functionality.

In total there is approximately 100 acres of tillable including a productive 34-acre tillable field that adds an agricultural component to the property. The field is commonly planted to wheat but is also suitable for other crops such as milo, alfalfa, or rotational planting depending on management objectives. The timbered edges surrounding the fields provide natural travel corridors for wildlife and create numerous opportunities for strategically placed hunting locations. There is also room to expand food plots or add additional feeders and stand locations to fit a variety of management plans.

The eastern portion of the ranch features lower elevations with wooded drainages and limited frontage along Elm Creek in the northeastern corner. These creek bottoms include mature hardwoods that provide roosting habitat for turkeys and bedding areas for deer. Evidence of regular wildlife activity throughout these areas reflects the quality of the habitat and the property's natural diversity.

As the terrain rises toward the western side of the ranch, the landscape transitions into rolling upland hills with native grasses, cedar cover, and extensive plum thickets. These upland areas offer additional habitat for upland birds including quail and pheasants while also providing seasonal cover for whitetail deer. The varied terrain allows hunters to utilize multiple approaches throughout the season based on changing weather patterns and wildlife movement.

Several elevated ridges overlook large portions of the property and provide long-range visibility across the surrounding landscape. These natural vantage points can be valuable for wildlife observation, hunting strategy, photography, or simply enjoying the scenic views that Barber County is known for.

Beyond its recreational appeal, the ranch offers opportunities for livestock grazing with a combination of native grasses, natural water features, and varied terrain suitable for ranch management. The balance of agricultural acreage, grazing resources, and established habitat makes the property adaptable for a variety of ownership goals while maintaining its strong recreational value.

Properties offering this level of habitat diversity, agricultural production, and seclusion are becoming increasingly difficult to find in south central Kansas. Whether your focus is hunting, livestock production, agricultural income, outdoor recreation, or long-term land ownership, this ranch provides a combination of features that support multiple uses within one property.
