Kansas River, Giant Timber, and Quality Riverbottom Farm Ground
Located between Junction City and Manhattan, this combination of production and recreation farm is not one to miss. With outstanding cover, food, ~.86 mile of Kansas River frontage, and productive soils, this property checks a lot of boxes. Consisting of roughly ~48 acres of class II Eudora silt loam soils, the current owner has been operating on the property himself and had a milo crop in the 2023 growing season. The farm ground will be open for immediate possession for the 2024 growing season. The balance of the property consists of a tremendous stand of giant cottonwood trees interspersed with elm, cedar, and autumn olive for additional cover. The trail systems, scrapes, and rubs throughout the timber and hedge row along the West boundary of the property are indicative of the giant pinch point that this farm is. With a steep bluff bordering K-18, and the Kansas River on the other side...
Located between Junction City and Manhattan, this combination of production and recreation farm is not one to miss.

Consisting of roughly ~48 acres of class II Eudora silt loam soils, the current owner has been operating on the property himself and had a milo crop in the 2023 growing season. The farm ground will be open for immediate possession for the 2024 growing season. The balance of the property consists of a tremendous stand of giant cottonwood trees interspersed with elm, cedar, and autumn olive for additional cover. The trail systems, scrapes, and rubs throughout the timber and hedge row along the West boundary of the property are indicative of the giant pinch point that this farm is. With a steep bluff bordering K-18, and the Kansas River on the other side, this property is a natural funnel. A healthy flock of about 20 turkeys were feeding in the milo when I first toured this farm along with both ducks and geese on the river adjoining the farm. With access from the K-18/I-70 interchange to the South, and the Henry Drive entrance of Ft. Riley to the west, the access to this property is unmatched in the way of convenience. Very rarely do diverse properties with income, quality hunting, fishing, and Kansas River frontage come to market, especially in convenient locations like this one. The farm is just under 20 minutes from Manhattan, 13 minutes from Junction City, and 3 minutes from the K-18/K-70 interchange.
