Description
Located in northwest Jewell County, Kansas, near the Kansas-Nebraska state line, this 78.16± acre tract offers a practical combination of tillable farmland and grass/hay acreage. Situated northeast of Burr Oak and southwest of Northbranch, the property provides an opportunity for agricultural operators, land investors, and buyers looking to add a manageable-sized tract to an existing Kansas land portfolio.
Approximately 42 acres have historically been classified or utilized as tillable farmland, while approximately 36 acres consist primarily of grass and hay ground. Based on the available acreage information, approximately 53.7% of the property is classified as tillable, with approximately 46.1% in grass/hay acreage. Minor differences in these percentages and acre totals may occur due to right-of-way and acreage calculations.
One of the notable agricultural characteristics of this Jewell County farm is its soil profile. The property carries an overall NCCPI soil score of approximately 70.9. Soils consist primarily of Holdrege series soils, which account for the majority of the acreage. Approximately 58.3% of the property consists of Holdrege silt loam, while another 27.0% consists of Holdrege and Geary silty clay loams. Harney silt loam accounts for approximately 14.3%, with smaller amounts of Nuckolls-Tobin silt loams and Roxbury silt loam making up the balance. Buyers evaluating north-central Kansas farmland will appreciate having this detailed soil information available when considering future agricultural use and management.
The seller has added terraces to portions of the farm, providing an existing erosion-control and land-management improvement. These terraces represent an important feature for a property with productive agricultural acreage, helping address water movement and soil conservation. Fencing on the property is also reported to be in good condition, adding utility to the grass and pasture portion of the tract.
The approximately 36 acres of grass and hay ground provide additional flexibility beyond the existing tillable acres. This area has historically been utilized for hay production, including baling. According to the seller, a portion of the current grass acreage was previously farmed. Depending on soil conditions, conservation requirements, management objectives, and applicable regulations, a future owner may want to evaluate whether some of this acreage could potentially be returned to crop production. Buyers should independently investigate the suitability of any conversion before making management decisions.
Another significant feature of this Jewell County, Kansas land for sale is the availability of both the tillable and grass/pasture acreage for open tenancy. This gives a new owner flexibility when developing a management plan. An owner-operator could potentially incorporate the acreage into an existing farming operation, while an investor could explore leasing the cropland and grass acreage to area agricultural operators. The combination of cropland and hay or pasture ground creates multiple potential agricultural uses within one 78.16± acre property.
For an established producer, the tract offers an opportunity to add acres without purchasing a substantially larger farm. For a beginning or expanding agricultural operator, the manageable acreage and combination of crop and grass ground provide options for developing an operation around multiple land uses. The open tenancy further allows the next owner to determine how the property fits their plans rather than inheriting a long-term lease arrangement.
Location is another important component of this northwest Jewell County property. The farm lies northeast of Burr Oak, Kansas, southwest of Northbranch, Kansas, and near the Kansas-Nebraska state line. North Branch and Burr Oak are approximately seven miles apart, providing useful geographical context for this part of the county. The broader area is agricultural in character and provides access to the communities of Burr Oak, Esbon, Mankato, and communities across the Nebraska state line.
Outdoor recreation is also available within the broader Jewell County area. The Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks identifies Lovewell State Park, Lovewell Wildlife Area, Lovewell Reservoir, Jewell State Fishing Lake, and Jewell Wildlife Area among its Jewell County locations. Lovewell Wildlife Area includes 2,215 acres of public hunting land surrounding the reservoir, with management for deer, turkey, waterfowl, pheasant, quail, rabbit, and squirrel. Lovewell State Park also provides opportunities for fishing, boating, camping, archery, and other outdoor activities.
This 78.16± acre Jewell County farm brings together tillable acreage, grass and hay ground, a 70.9 NCCPI soil score, predominantly Holdrege soils, established terraces, reported good fencing, and open tenancy. Whether considered as an addition to an existing agricultural operation, a land investment, or acreage for an operator seeking a smaller tract with multiple agricultural uses, the property offers a straightforward combination of Kansas cropland and grassland near the Nebraska state line.
