Broker’s Notes:
Located in the heart of one of Kansas’ most renowned big-buck regions, this exceptional 159± acre tract in Pottawatomie County offers a rare opportunity to own a premier recreational property with outstanding wildlife habitat, diverse terrain, and an excellent homesite opportunity. Spring Creek winds through the property, creating a natural travel corridor that draws wildlife from surrounding areas and provides year-round water, sandbars, and thick creek-bottom cover. The property features an outstanding mix of timber, crop fields, and natural bedding areas that together create ideal habitat for mature whitetail deer. This area has long been known for producing some of the largest deer in the state, and the habitat and location of this farm set the stage for incredible hunting potential. Elk are also present in the surrounding area, adding another unique wildlife feature to this exceptional recreational property. Abundant turkey populations further enhance the recreational appeal, making this a property that offers action throughout multiple hunting seasons. The impressive elevation changes provide dramatic views and natural funnels for wildlife movement, while also creating several excellent stand locations overlooking the creek bottom and crop fields. Adding to the recreational appeal, the property is conveniently located near more than 12,000 acres of public hunting opportunities, the Big Blue River Basin, and Tuttle Creek Reservoir, with additional duck marshes located just a couple of miles to the north.
Beyond the hunting potential, the property also offers a fantastic opportunity for a secluded rural homesite. An established 2-acre building site provides an excellent location for a shouse, cabin, or full-time residence. Tucked just off Spring Creek Road, the previous homesite offers convenient access while remaining positioned so daily activity will not interfere with wildlife movement across the property. From the higher elevations, breathtaking views stretch north across the Big Blue River Valley, showcasing the rolling landscape that makes this region of Kansas so special. Whether you are looking for a weekend hunting retreat, a long-term recreational investment, or a scenic rural homesite, this property offers a unique combination of habitat, location, and beauty.
