The established native grasses contribute to excellent wildlife cover. This region of western Kansas is widely known for its strong pheasant and quail populations, and the habitat on this tract supports that reputation. In addition to upland game, the property is near Wild Horse Creek, one of the few water sources in the area. The creek provides water, cover, and serves as a natural travel corridor for whitetail deer, significantly enhancing the recreational appeal of the land.
While the property is currently enrolled in CRP, it is underlain by highly productive soils with an impressive NCCPI score of 72. This adds significant long-term value, giving a future owner the option to return the land to tillable acreage once the CRP contract expires. The proven soil productivity supports strong crop history potential and enhances the overall investment quality of the tract. To add even further value, the sellers will convey mineral rights as well.
In addition to its income and soil strength, the property offers exceptional scenic appeal. The gently terraced topography rises into a subtle incline, creating an elevated hilltop that provides sweeping views of the surrounding Kansas prairie. This natural vantage point would make an outstanding lookout location or a potential future build site, offering peaceful surroundings, open skies, and classic western Kansas views that are increasingly sought after by buyers.
Whether you are looking to diversify a land portfolio, secure a steady income, or own a manageable recreational tract with proven wildlife presence, this Ness County CRP property checks all the boxes.
