Here’s your chance to purchase the ultimate hunting retreat on 81.20 acres of prime hunting habitat in Russell County, Kansas, situated just over five miles northeast of Russell. This exceptional property lies less than a mile from the Saline River and only 6 miles west of scenic Wilson Lake, placing it in one of the region’s strongest trophy whitetail deer areas. The terrain is rugged and diverse, featuring deep hardwood and cedar-lined canyons with dramatic hilltop views perfect for strategic hunting setups and early-season scouting.
The land provides habitat for several Rio Grande turkeys and excellent quail cover, with abundant grass, brush, and thicket areas encouraging a healthy wildlife population. An old, dilapidated limestone barn adds a touch of history and character to the property.

A seasonal pond near the center enhances wildlife attraction and habitat.
The property boasts over 120 feet of elevation change from the hilltops down to the canyon bottoms, creating natural shelter and sanctuary for pressured deer. Natural funnels throughout the property provide ideal locations for archery stands, allowing hunters to capitalize on whitetail movement between the Saline River and the property’s cover.
