About This Property

Not very often do you get irrigated farmland with type 2 soils, where you can hunt everything central Kansas has to offer. From large Kansas whitetails, turkeys, waterfowl, pheasants and everything in between, this property has everything you are looking for!

Property Description: Excellent cropland with an incredible view awaits you at this superb listing just Northwest of Great Bend, KS in Barton County. Less than 6 miles west of Cheyenne Bottoms Wildlife Area. The corn and other cropland in this area attract vast numbers of waterfowl during the migration every year providing some of the best waterfowl hunting opportunities in North America. Ducks and Geese feed in this area heavily each year as there is always water and high quality food in the area. On top of being a premium waterfowl hunting property, the walnut creek runs through the larger tract that is home to an abundance of whitetailed deer and Rio Turkeys. Deer in the area grow very large with all of the excess food of all different types and the nearly 40 acres of timber provide excellent cover and habitat. There is an orchard with apple, pear, and cherry trees just outside one of the large creek coves. With fertile soils and water rights allowing for irrigation, this property has great crop yields each year. The sunsets and sunrises will take your breath away as you look out over the crop fields. The luscious timber cascades through the northwest parcel providing plenty of shelter for the wildlife that seek refuge in this area. Hunting waterfowl in flooded corn, milo, or soybean fields near the largest inland marsh in North America (Cheyenne Bottoms) with the ability to control the water on the crops is extremely hard to come by in this area. The State Hunt Unit for this property is Unit 5. Don’t miss your opportunity on this once in a lifetime property in central Kansas.
