Land

Located in one of the most historic parts of Kansas sits this beautiful +/- 9.7 acre property, with breathtaking views and plenty of room to explore. The natural hills and cliffs help provide that mountain feeling that is not normally found in Kansas. There are also various species of fruits on site, including sandhill plums, blackberry bushes, currants, and a cherry tree.  It is not uncommon to look out the windows and see turkey, deer, quail and other species of wildlife meandering through the property. This property is only 1 mile south of Scott County Fishing Lake, which is listed as one of the country’s 50 must see state parks according to National Geographic. Besides being one of the most historic locations in Kansas, the state park is an ideal location for camping, kayaking, swimming, hiking, bike riding, hunting, fishing and wildlife observation. Additionally, Battle Canyon lies just south of this property. The Battle of Punished Woman’s Fork was the last encounter between Native Americans and United States Troops in the State of Kansas, which was fought in Battle Canyon.
