The Coal Creek Ranch-713+/- Acres In Russell County, Kansas
Property Description: Listed for sale by Cody Crook & Mark Morris of Red Cedar Land Company is 713+/- acres in Eastern Russell County, offering any and all of the vast attributes which make up the stunning Smoky Hills Region of Central Kansas. Whether you are looking for big acreage to add to your cattle operation, or a truly raw tract of land that you can build into the ultimate hunters paradise, the Coal Creek Ranch encompasses any and all of the highly desirable traits sought after in a big acreage Kansas ranch. Between the rocky bluffs, steep timber filled canyons, and the rock lined walls of the Coal Creek, the Coal Creek Ranch provides you with landscapes seldom seen in Central Kansas. If blindfolded and dropped off in the heart of this ranch you could easily convince yourself that you are in places like Wyoming or Colorado. The Coal Creek Ranch with its vast terrain change makes 713 acres feel twice as big.
Property History: The Coal Creek Ranch is rich in history as well. You will see multiple carvings in the rock walls of the Coal Creek from the original owner Frank C. Davidson and others. The dates on these carvings range from the early 1920's to the late 1950's.
For the Outdoorsman: The multiple grassland bowls which make up the low laying areas between the timber filled and rocky bluffs make for ideal locations for large food plots. Other than the pond centrally located in the heart of the ranch, multiple springs can be found in a variety of locations along the Coal Creek, providing water even on the dryest of years. As you can see in the pictures, heavy cover for the wildlife is of no concern. The 70+ year old Bur Oak trees that line the Coal Creek provide not only shelter/cover but plenty of food as well. Other than the Bur Oaks on the ranch, you will come across White Oaks, Black Walnut, Cedar, Cottonwood, and Locust trees. This ranch has every ounce of what the avid outdoorsman is after when looking to develop a Kansas ranch. For the avid turkey hunter, lifelong memories will be made with friends and family when leaned up against a mature Bur Oak, or Black Walnut calling a kansas tom through the heavy cover on the Coal Creek Ranch. If your passion is hunting upland birds behind a stud pointer, you will keep yourself busy walking the thickets and canyons pursuing coveys of quail. I would venture to say that one could not quail hunt every acre of the ranch in one day. Once you are ready for a change of pace, yourself and a big group of friends/family can pursue pheasants in the 133.66 acres of CRP in the South East corner of the ranch. The Coal Creek Ranch is the ultimate outdoorsmans paradise.
