Very centrally located on the property is a 1 acre pond that brings so much character to this acreage. As you navigate through the woods via utv trails the pond emerges and gets more interesting as more of it comes into frame. There are trees that were left in the ravine at the time of the pond's construction. The trees create excellent habitat for the bass, perch, and crappie that are waiting for you to throw a line out. There is a sturdy metal dock frame that is awaiting someone to finish it. Once the boards are applied this will become the place to hang out to relax and have fun with family and friends. Fishing, swimming, paddle boating, launching kayaks or an old flat bottom jon boat and other activities are sure to be enjoyed around this beautiful private pond.

Another recreational draw on this property is the deer hunting in this part of Southeast Kansas. Hunters come from across the country. Purchasing this recreational property lying in the heart of excellent habitat and joined by thriving neighboring farms lets you manage and develop the quality of wildlife that will call this their home. The potential this property offers for wildlife management and conservation for ducks, deer, quail and other small game is waiting for someone to enhance it to its fullest potential.

The oaks that line the ridges are symbolic of the cross timbers ecosystem. It is known for large sandstone outcroppings and a high production of acorns. This property has a balance of the cross timber ecosystem that is beginning to blend with the Eastern edge of the Flint Hills. It does have some characteristics that belong with both such as native grasses and rolling hills. North of the biggest pond is a sandstone outcropping that has a spring in it. It seeps water out that eventually runs into the pond. The perimeter fencing is intact and is currently holding a small herd of cattle. Another small field to the East is fenced separately. They would allow someone to have summer food plots and still take advantage of a summer grazing program for the cattle. A 38 x 48 foot farm utility shelter is located along Road 24 which is a dead end road and the Eastern boundary of this tract.
