3500 Road X Reading, KS 66868

Located north of Miller, KS in Northern Lyon County, this beautiful tract totals 80 acres more or less and possesses appealing attributes for the beef producer, the hunter or as a potential future building site. It also has a great location less than two miles from the pavement of Highway that runs between Osage City and Allen. In addition, it’s less than 4 miles to the Kansas turnpike with convenient access north to Topeka or south to Emporia.

This tract is composed of resilient and high-quality Native grass grazing pasture surrounded by adequate fencing, a heavily timbered draw near the west boundary, a sizable pond and in the southern half, a convenient catchpen at the northeast corner and electric service running along the north boundary.

For the beef producer, you’ll appreciate the robust Native grass varieties throughout the parcel which are highlighted by the “Big 3” of the “Big 4”. The predominant species are Big Bluestem, Indiangrass and Switchgrass which are the main 3 you want. These are the types that typically thrive through the summer months while tame grass varieties fade from productive value. There’s a large pond for supply of livestock water located in the central portion of the southern ½ of the property and a well-constructed pipe catchpen is strategically located at the north boundary just off the County road, providing for ease of loadout.

There is recreational appeal here as well for both the angler and the deer hunter. The pond has weathered the recent period of hot weather with lack of rainfall very well and still has substantial water remaining. The timbered draw flanking it to the west shows significant deer sign and this tract has excellent upside with the addition of protein feeders. This property should make for a tremendous escape for the family and provide for years of great memories made.

There are multiple beautiful potential areas to build a future home on this property due to a scenic and rolling topography. While there is not currently rural water service available to the property, there is electric service running adjacent to the north boundary. Future availability of rural water would have to be researched and Buyers should use due diligence in doing so. There are homes on rural water just to the east but our understanding is that there is not current capacity to add another meter at this time. For further information on obtaining rural water, please contact Osage County Rural Water District #7 at 785-528-5090.

  If 80 acres is more than you are shopping for, you are in luck here as we are also offering this property in two separate 40+/- acre tracts with a north half and a south half. The per acre price on the 40+/- acre tracts is $5,000 per acre.
