About This Lot
World-Class North Central Kansas Wildlife Management Property in Osborne County, KS Blue Hills Hunting Paradise
Exceptional 930-Acre Ranch with world-class game, wildlife and natural resource management, and agricultural production
This unique ranch is fully dedicated to being returned to 20th century richness in game and wildlife, along with its agricultural potential. But its greatest rarity is the condition of sale, where the buyer pays only interest during the remaining life of the 73-year old owner. At the death of the owner the ranch will transfer to the buyer free of any additional cost.
Discover the unmatched value of this expansive 930-acre ranch, featuring approximately 50% of its land devoted to high-yield crops including corn, beans, wheat, milo, and hybrid Sorghum-sudan with the remaining acres in native prairie grass. This prime agricultural property is complemented by a newly constructed rustic timber frame two-story home, providing modern living amid a thriving farming, hunting and wildlife operation.
The ranch is situated within the Central Flyway for migrator birds in North Central Kansas and is surrounded by large reservoirs and federal wetlands such as Waconda Lake, Kirwin National Wildlife Refuge, Wilson Lake and a number of large watershed retention lakes. This unique position of the land ensures an attractive refuge for wildlife migrating from area to area.
The property boasts five scenic ponds and four additional smaller deep water holes, ensuring ample water sources for both livestock and wildlife. A significant domestic well, formerly used to support a 3,000-head feedlot, is also present, along with a rural water line, electrical power and underground high-speed fiber internet.
The ranch is completely free and clear of any encumbrances, with full ownership of water, gas, oil, mineral, and wind rights. There are no government programs affecting the property, offering complete operational freedom.

Sellers Rights and Responsibilities:
The seller retains sole and exclusive use and control of the property during their lifetime, with no access or use granted to the buyer.

The mission and ultimate goal, of the current owner, that creates this rare opportunity is based on two simple premises. The owner is 73 years old and has no heir or ultimate end-user of his estate and he has a long and successful history of turning normal farms and ranches into wildlife paradises; which here in north central Kansas focuses on recreating thriving populations of pheasants, bob white quail, prairie chickens, turkey, white tail deer and the necessary habitat to enrich the wild world.
This unique opportunity offers a stable hard-asset investment with significant agricultural potential and comprehensive ownership rights.
