Located in southeast Republic County, this property offers a well-balanced combination of productive farmland, quality pasture, dense timber, live water, and existing improvements. The layout reflects a diverse mix of field configurations, timbered corridors along the creek, and strong edge habitat throughout. Access is provided by a well-maintained county gravel road, allowing for reliable year-round entry for both agricultural operations and recreational use.

From a land-use standpoint, this tract provides flexibility and function. There is a solid component of tillable acreage suitable for row crop production, complemented by established pasture ground capable of supporting livestock or hay production. The blend of open acres and heavy cover creates the opportunity for income generation while maintaining excellent wildlife habitat.

Elk Creek winds through the property, providing a consistent water source and enhancing both the recreational appeal and wildlife density. In addition, multiple ponds are positioned across the tract, further supporting livestock and wildlife. The combination of flowing water, ponds, timber, and crop ground creates ideal conditions for sustaining strong populations of Kansas whitetail and turkey.

The former homesite adds immediate usability and long-term potential. Improvements include:

• Barn
• Functional well
• Small building with basement/cellar
• Electricity on site

This setup makes the property immediately functional for a variety of uses, including:

• Parking a camper during hunting season
• Establishing a dedicated hunting base camp
• Constructing a “Shouse” utilizing existing utilities
• Building a permanent rural residence

During my initial tour of the property, multiple deer were observed in different areas across the tract, and there is ample sign of active deer movement throughout—well-worn trails, rub lines, and natural travel corridors along the timber edges and creek bottom. The property has a proven history of producing quality Kansas whitetails and consistent turkey numbers, supported by its diverse habitat and reliable water sources.

This land has been in the Anderson family for many generations, a testament to its productivity, recreational value, and long-standing stewardship. Opportunities to purchase property with this kind of family history and legacy ownership are increasingly rare.

Key property highlights include:

• Strong mix of tillable, pasture, and wooded acres
• Flowing creek and multiple ponds
• Established homesite with utilities in place
• Documented history of quality whitetail and turkey hunting
• Excellent access via county gravel road
• Balanced income and recreational opportunity

This is a highly versatile Republic County property capable of serving as an income-producing farm, a premier hunting tract, or a long-term rural homesite. The combination of water, habitat diversity, existing improvements, and access creates a rare and well-rounded offering in today’s market.
