One of a Kind Creek Bottom — Timber — Alfalfa Hunting & Farm Property | Barton County, Kansas
If you've been waiting for a property that checks every box — this is it.
Located just 5.5 miles west of the world-famous Cheyenne Bottoms Wildlife Refuge, this 156.96-acre tract in Barton County, Kansas is one of the most unique and diverse hunting and farming properties to hit the market in years. Creek bottom timber, lush alfalfa fields, and thick native cover create the kind of habitat that holds whitetail deer, turkeys, waterfowl, pheasants, quail, bobcats, coyotes, and more — year round.
Let's start with the deer. Last year, the only buck he allowed to be harvested scored 174 inches. This ground has not been hammered. The genetics are there. The age structure is there. And the next giant is still walking. With the alfalfa that is planted around the creek and timber you have the best food plot already growing to draw in those big monsters.
The Property — 156.96 Acres
133 acres of the property are tillable cropland that could generate $10,640 per year in cash rental income. If the new owner chooses to keep the current operator in place, that income begins on day one. A drilled and finished water well is located on the west side of the property — already in place and some finishing touches could allow you to flood out some of the ground to create a waterfowl haven!
The Access Package — 1,310+ Additional Acres
Here is where this opportunity becomes truly extraordinary. Along with deeded ownership of the 156.96 acres, the buyer will receive 5 years of private hunting access to an additional 1,350+ acres of Barton County ground positioned on the north and east sides of Cheyenne Bottoms Refuge. That's over 1,460 total acres of some of the most diverse and productive hunting country in the state of Kansas — whitetail staging areas, turkey roosting timber, flooded waterfowl flats, and prime pheasant and quail country — all included with this sale.
The Future Opportunity
The current owner has also indicated his willingness to install a pond — fed and maintained by a dedicated well — on one of the access parcels situated just north of Cheyenne Bottoms Refuge, if the new owner is willing to share in the cost. Imagine a private waterfowl hole sitting on the doorstep of one of the most recognized refuges in the country.
The Bottom Line
A 174" managed deer herd. 1,310+ acres of bonus hunting access. $10,640 in annual income. A water well ready for waterfowl development. And the most storied wildlife refuge in Kansas as your neighbor.
Properties like this don't come back around. When it's gone, it's gone.
