With over a half mile of river, this land is a magnet for all types of wildlife. Especially the high-scoring whitetail deer that Kansas is known for. Upon your first visit to the river bank, you will find beaten trails from cruiser bucks, not from livestock, this farm hasn't been grazed in many years. These wooded riverbanks are quite literally, deer highways. Timber blocks and wooly pasture on the north and seasonal creeks and CRP grass on the south funnel deer and turkey to the heart of the farm. Interspersed large cedar trees, tall cottonwoods, and sandhill plum thickets dominate the north side of the river. Groomed access trails exist on both sides of the river providing clear entry to your hunt stand locations.

The land consists of 50 +/- acres of FSA cropland, 14 +/- acres are currently enrolled in CRP but additional acres could be re-enrolled, opened up for cash crops, or excellent sites to develop food plots. There is an already established food plot over an acre in size. The CRP grass generates income, but it also generates hunting memories. These areas provide tremendous deer fawning cover. The tall switch grasses are also home to nesting turkeys, pheasants, and quail. The river also contributes world-class waterfowl hunting opportunities. Mallards descend upon this area specifically, by the tens of thousands each winter. So after deer season and before turkey season, you would be remiss not to float some decoys on the only open water for miles and miles. Fishing opportunities can be seemingly endless, several catfish species are abundant as well as the springtime white bass runs. The property is complete with a fishing shack, full of nets, baskets, rods, and reels, and a cleaning station; a testament to the reliable catch this farm provides. This special opportunity to hunt, fish, and play on the sandbars of the Ninnescah River is a once-in-a-generation offering.

The farm has substantial improvements. Located along a closed and gated county road is the historic homestead with utilities. The house, a 1.5 story bungalow built in 1920, has tremendous charm. With a solid foundation and a new roof, this home could be returned to its original glory with some TLC. Also built in the 1920s is a picturesque monitor barn. This barn has aged to perfection with patina and weathered paint in all the right places. Newer to the farmstead is a 70'x50' lean-to with electricity built in 1980. You could park your camper under here for the first hunting season or store farm machinery to work the land and food plots. Central to the farm yard is the enclosed 70'x24' shop. This building also constructed in 1980 has a concrete floor, electric service, overhead doors, and a gas heater. This would be the perfect place to store all your tools and hunting equipment. Some other structures include a fishing shack, two car detached garage, a storage shed, and grain bins. The homestead is hooked up to metered natural gas, a rural telephone line, and electricity. This area down a private road is so peaceful, that you can hear the river from your rocking chair and watch wildlife stroll right through. This incredibly rare river property won't last long!
