Where The Dirt Meets The Honey Hol
Elk City, KS 67344
Montgomery County, Kansas
Ranch Description
This 155 acres +/- premium farm ground and high end wildlife habitat is hard to come by. With features such as 2 creeks, tillable land, mature timber, wetland area for possible marsh, gas well production, hunting opportunities, it covers most of what you want. The land is 155 acres, with 76 acres residing on the west side of the road and 79 acres residing on the east side of the road.
The East 79 acre property is approximately 42 acres tillable with great soils. Verdigris Silt Loam and Lanton Silty Clay make up all of the farm land on this side of the county road. A gravel road in the middle of the property leads to a gas well that is currently producing. To the east of the gas well flows a wet weather creek, several deer crossing areas were spotted here. The area from the road to the pump jack stays wetter and could be turned into a marsh area for ducks. It has a zero to one percent slope and occasionally floods. Elm Branch lies next to this area with a relatively long and large body of water. Elk City Lake is merely eight miles away as the duck flies and there is farm land for miles in three directions. The agricultural production wraps around the creek to form a secluded field in the Northeastern portion of this tract. The way Elm Branch loops in and out of the property has prevented farming on the East side of the creek. Over the years this area has developed into a wildlife haven. Large mature trees as well as areas of thick under growth will make for great bedding areas as well as stand sites. Old trails have cut into the steep creek banks from repetitive uses season after season. The road frontage allows the owner to access from the South or the West. The shape created by the creek channel will allow for North and South wind tree stands without ever crossing over into the sanctuary.
The West 76 acre property is approximately 59 acres of tillable. Verdigris Silt Loam and Lanton Silty Clay make up the majority of the farm land on this side of the county road. This portion of the property for sale offers a higher ratio of tillable acreage. Duck creek flows through the west side of the property with a partly covered rock bottom. The layout of the creek allows the property to hunt big with out sacrificing the return on the investment from agricultural production. The creek rises and falls with the rains. Multiple riffles create very beautiful areas as well as easy places to cross. Sycamore trees line the banks and tower over the field edges. It's easy to imagine the branches being full of Wild Turkeys. Herons have made nest in a few of the trees and it almost gives the hike along Duck Creek a prehistoric feel.
Deer hunting in this area of Kansas needs no introduction. The amount of tracks on this farm make it easy to assume that it will live up to expectations. Mineral rights are believed to 100 intact and all of the sellers rights will pass to the new owner. Call Crystal for any Questions or to schedule a showing.
