Located on the north edge of Columbus KS this farm offers everything a cattleman desires in an operation. The farm is split into multiple pastures, each pasture is set up with shared gates to make moving cattle around a breeze. Automatic waterers provide water to each paddock and are ran through the middle of the farm making them easy to maintain and operate. The south pasture along the highway has water provided by a pond that never goes dry, even in our worst drought years. Grass on this farm is second to none, the current owner leaves no expense behind in maintaining the pastures. Fescue, bermuda and clover dominate each paddock and are fertilized every year. This farm can sustain a high stocking denisty while still providing hay production for the winter. Each paddock is fenced with high quality 5 strand barb wire, pipe corners and H braces. The gate systems are impressive, well thought out and allow the operation to maximize profit. Two smaller traps lead to a set of catch pens and working facilities, there is even an insulated room off the catch pens to calf in the cold winter months if needed.
The farm hosts a well built 2916 Sq Ft home that over looks a beautiful pond. The home has 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, a large open living kitchen and dining space. The home is meticulously maintained, every six months the HVAC system is serviced and there is a brand new on demand hot water system. Each bedroom has plenty of room and oversized closets. The master suite has a walk in closet, along with a set of french doors leading to the back patio. The master bath has a large tub and a walk in shower, there is plenty of space in this bathroom and could really be turned into a bathroom any family would dream of. The kitchen has ample cabinet space and a large island ideal for enteraining or room for the whole family while you prepare meals. Just off the kitchen is a pantry, washer dryer and half bath, this is ideal for keeping the house clean after a long day on the farm. A big front porch overlooks the front pond, I can only imagine of sitting here watching the geese or seeing the kids catch fish out of the pond. There is also a large concrete patio in the back of the house that would be great for the family and friends.
The farm is rounded out by a large insulated shop, this shop is drive through with metal on the walls and ceilings. A propane heater supplies heat to the shop and a covered lean too on the south end provides additional storage. Another machine shed keeps equipment tucked away and safe while the hay barn ensures your hay stays good for an extened period of time.
Finding an operation of this quality with the amount of infrastructure this farm has is almost impossible. Add to that being a mile from Columbus, KS and just a 1/4 mile off a black top road adds to the appeal of this farm. The farm is incredibly unique, from being a mile end to end, the highway frontage, and turn key abilities it really has to be seen to be apprecitated.
