This 77 +/- acre property offers so much potential for the buyer. This farm really does have potential to be developed in many different areas. For the the deer hunter, this property is perfectly situated in a travel corridor. Sitting just 400 yards off a northern bend of the Smoky Hill River this farm is positioned in the middle between the thick timber and cover of the river corridor and the ag fields to the north. On a recent tour of the property there was really good deer sign throughout the farm. With small improvements this farm would easily attract and hold more deer than it already does. Additionally, a number of Rio Grande turkeys will frequently move thru the property.
Perhaps the best attribute of this farm are the natural springs that have developed in the low lying areas of the former sand pits spread throughout the property. Many small areas are currently holding water, creating shallow water holes, but the best springs are flowing on the southern end of the property. A small damn where the spring flow converges would create a shallow wetland that would be prime duck habitat. With a little more excavation a buyer could create a 1-2 acre pond surrounded by timber. The neighboring property has existing spring fed sand pit ponds and routinely has good numbers of ducks. This farm should be even better when developed.
With power and a water well on site as well as paved road frontage this property would make an excellent location to build a weekend cabin or full time home. Situated just 3 miles south of Bunker Hill, KS this farm is only 10 minutes from Wilson Lake.
A small metal shed with concrete floor is situated right by the pond area and would be perfect for storing hunting equipment. There is also an open sided storage shed in the SW corner of the property that could be utilized to store additional equipmet out of the weather.
What mineral rights are held by seller will transfer to buyer.
