Northern Barton County Wildlife Habitat

J.C. Bosch-Hayden Outdoors Real Estate

+/- 157 acres

Here is your chance to own a premium property with blacktop frontage close to Great Bend, Kansas. The property sits between Quivira National Wildlife Refuge and Cheyenne Bottoms Wildlife Area. The upland bird habitat on this property is second to none with cultivated fields surrounding the property, some of which are irrigated. Food, Water, and extremely well managed habitat make this the upland bird hunter’s dream property! Kansas boasts the highest Bobwhite Quail harvest of any state in the U.S. for the last few years and has the most liberal of bag limits for Ringneck Pheasants at 4 roosters per day. The echoes of the Bobwhite Quail are frequent and the honks of the geese flying over during the migration season are constant. This gently rolling quarter is currently covered with the thriving Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), giving cover for the Ringneck Pheasants and Bobwhite Quail who seek this area for protection. Antelope Creek runs through the corner of this property, providing a water source for the habitat. This property has a couple plum thickets located in the corners which are a great cover for the surrounding wildlife. The blacktop access and proximity to civilization make this property an excellent candidate for a new home build. With the CRP contract expiring in 2022, this is also a great candidate to turn back into cultivation and production. Noxious weeds, cedars, and other invasive plant species are nowhere to be seen on this beautiful and meticulously maintained property.   Located 5 miles south of Great Bend, KS near the blacktop, the possibilities for this property are endless.
