Description
Located in the sky-stretching big ranch country of southeastern Cowley County, this 862 acre property is the ultimate combination of scenery, recreation, and ranch. Beautiful Otter Creek runs directly through the heart of the property, creating hardwood timber bottoms and hillsides that jut up into a sea of native grass flats with pronounced elevation changes. To say that this ranch is easy on the eyes is an understatement. With Otter Creek being a year-round clear water source, the immediate area is also known for very high-quality spoils and a productive growing past. With 233.88 FSA acres maintaining a mixture of soybeans, wheat, corn, milo, and possibly alfalfa, the productive income and wildlife support are excellent. Along with the tillable aspects of the property, there is substantial grazing opportunities with quality fencing encompassing lightly grazed pastures supported by 10 total ponds scattered throughout the property. With several of the ponds being sizable, there is a very strong population and opportunity to hunt and harvest waterfowl, and that is certainly reflected in our photo tour of the ranch. Several of the ponds also have good populations of fish for additional entertainment, including bass, crappie, and catfish. This property also maintains a very clean and efficient ranch headquarters that includes a 2,724 sq ft main ranch house, a 1,700 sq ft hunters bunk house, 2,460 sq ft shop/barn, a 2,400 sq ft shed, and a livestock shed along with several other smaller outbuildings. The hunter’s bunkhouse is recently renovated and updated to be stylish and very comfortable and will fully accommodate a small group of hunters. With 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a full kitchen, Wifi, a cell phone booster, and ample living space to enjoy your time while on the hunt. This ranch is surrounded by sizable properties that do maintain a management program, including protein feeding and consideration of overall herd age structure and harvest. This ranch, in particular, has produced numerous high-scoring top-end bucks, including very high-ranking bucks that scored well over 200+ inches. Although the turkey populations in Kansas have been slightly down in recent years, this has historically been an outstanding turkey hunting property, and there is always a handful of quail coveys that call this great ranch property home. Please note, for the purposeful buyer, this ranch meets the definition of what an all-encompassing ranch is. Beauty, location, improvements, deer, turkey, fishing, waterfowl, tillable, income, grazing, water, views, and the list can go on and on. Please let us know if we can help show you this property in person; it will make an impression.
