An outdoor enthusiast's dream, this property has a plethora of opportunities ranging from fishing, waterfowl, deer, and upland bird hunting, to building your dream house or adding acres to your operation. Only 45 minutes East of Wichita, this ~640 acres is in a location that feels hidden, has good access and is ready for you to make a lifetime of memories.

Land

The North ~480 acres is a tale of two halves with the West side holding the roughly 50 acre watershed lake, Eagle Lake, which when full would be approximately 36 surface acres. This lake was built by the Corp of Engineers and holds largemouth bass, catfish, perch, and crappie. It is fed by Eagle Creek coming in from the North which continues South below the dam into the neighboring property. Eagle Lake is surrounded by trees on it’s North half and has wooded fingers extending both East and West for various animals to use as travel corridors. The lake and creek are surrounded by rolling native grass hills that flatten below the dam and feature approximately 8 acres of crop ground and other bottom ground that is cut and baled with the native grass.
The East half is rolling pasture with good perimeter fencing and 2 stock ponds and has been used for grazing in the past. This side also contains an oil well and the house.
Across the road to the South, you will find ~160 acres that contains Hickory Creek with timbered banks and wooded draws which feed into it from the North and the neighboring East property. On the South side of the creek you will find a secluded native grass meadow with 2 treed fence lines that lead to rock ledge hills to the South.


Improvements

Included with the property is an approximately 1000 square foot 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom house that is tucked into the side of a wooded draw. It includes a cellar and a pre-fabricated garden shed.
In addition, there is a 30 x 72 Morton shed with a water hydrant outside, concrete floors, and multiple overhead doors to store your equipment or possibly a camper.
Both structures are supplied by separate water meters and their own electric meters. There are also 3 other water meters associated with the property that will transfer to the buyer.


Recreation

The rolling native grass hills provide cover and travel corridors that taper into creeks and draws full of cottonwood, elm, ash, sumac, and oak trees which supply food and cover for a variety of wildlife like deer, turkey, and bobwhite quail. Furthermore, these transitions fit into the instinctive travel and ambush sites of predatory animals like bobcat and coyote.
Interspersed throughout the property are the two stock ponds, lake, and the creeks which were observed to be holding different species of ducks on their migration South. The owners have not known any of the water features to have gone dry in the past and even though Hickory Creek does not have water flowing through it currently, pockets of water remain there.
Beyond hunting, the lake offers fishing and other opportunities like paddle boarding or kayaking. While the rest of the property is of terrain enjoyable enough to take off on a hike, ride side by sides, atvs, or horseback.


Agriculture

A local individual has rented the property in the past to cut and bale the grass, as well as, the pasture and crop ground.
