Spanning 461.6 contiguous acres, this property has a ton of potential. Three creek beds combine to run more than 2 miles through the property. Gentle hills covered in native prairie grass overlook the timbered creek beds that occupy the low areas. Osage orange are the dominate tree species with cottonwood, elm and oak trees combined with cedars to create a canopy alongside and above the clear water that runs in the creeks.
Recreation
With an abundance of water, cover and grass, wildlife thrive on this recreational ranch. The natural habitat attracts a wide variety of species including whitetail deer, turkey, upland birds and even some waterfowl. Small game like rabbits, squirrels and predators and furbearers can also be found on the property.
Whitetail deer traverse the property in large numbers making their way along the creek bottoms, traveling the hedge rows and bedding in the native grasses. Even novice hunters will quickly be able to identify numerous locations to add blinds or tree stands…really, there would be very few wrong answers due to the large population of deer occupying the property.
Turkey and upland birds can also be found on the property. Quail love the hedge rows, fence rows and tall native grasses and turkey love the lowland creek bottoms. One recent trip to the property even spotted wood ducks dabbling in multiple spots along the creek.
This property also provides awesome opportunities for hiking or trail riding.
Agriculture
The grazing ranch has been well managed for cattle grazing and it has good fences and water. There is a cattle grazing lease in place for the 2025 grazing season and that income will be paid to the buyer according to the terms of the written lease agreement. The current cattle lease pays a total of $8160.00 for the 2025 grazing season.

2023 : $6376.88
2024 : $9149.72
