A Rare Opportunity to Own 272.89 Acres in Cowley County, KS

Finding a sizeable piece of land in Cowley County, Kansas, has become increasingly rare. With the county’s rich agricultural history and its location in the heart of the Flint Hills, land availability is tight, and inventory moves quickly.

This scarcity is fueled by the region’s desirable features, from fertile soils to prime grazing opportunities, as well as its unmatched recreational potential.

One of the standout features of this property is its location within the Flint Hills, an area renowned for its native grasses that are among the best in the country for summer cattle grazing. Native grasses like big bluestem, little bluestem, and switchgrass thrive in the nutrient-rich soils and rolling terrain, providing high-protein forage that’s ideal for weight gain and overall herd health.

Grazing cattle on these native grasses also helps maintain the ecological balance of the prairie, a practice that has been sustained for centuries. This property features well-maintained perimeter fencing, although it hasn’t been grazed recently, making it ready for your herd or other agricultural endeavors.
