1010 O Rd. , Mankato, KS 66956(Jewell County)

Sitting 6 miles west of Mankato in Jewell County, Kansas is an excellent example of a diverse property with multiple opportunities. At 467.53 +/- taxable acres, there are 166.2 tillable acres in production and 301.33 acres in native grass pasture/timber. From both an agricultural and hunting perspective, access to different parts of the farm is ideal with three chunks on three of the four corners of the intersection of O Road and 100 Road, an excellent all-weather road. This property has been in the family for many years and the long term tenants have both farming and grazing rights. The annual lease is in the form of a cash rent with $70 per acre on the farm ground, totaling $11,634 for 166.2 acres, and $28 per acre on the 261.08 acres of pasture, totaling $7,310.24. The total income is $18,944.24, half of which is paid on August 1st and half on December 31st. It should be noted that the tenant has a right of first refusal on the property with a 5 day timeframe. The breakdown of tracts consists of 236.65 acres on the northeast corner of the intersection that are fully fenced and cross-fenced with two ponds, Limestone Creek, an old homestead with barns, and a corral system with an electric well. There are 34.25 acres of dryland tillable with the balance in beautiful, rolling native grass pastures and the Limestone Creek corridor that is lined with gnarly, mature burr oaks, among other hardwoods. Historically, cattle have had access to the creek, so the undergrowth in the timber is not as thick as the other tracts, but deer and turkey sign is very apparent throughout. The southeast tract consists of 155.91 acres with 74.78 acres in tillable production and the balance in timber and pasture. The amount of deer sign on this piece is outstanding with Limestone Creek cutting through the west side and a timbered draw running into it from the east. In the 6 +/- acre pasture on the far east side, there are two ponds, one of which is a little over 2 +/- acres when full and offers good fishing. The fencing on the south side of this pasture is in poor condition as the tenants own the land to the south and have grazed it all together. The southwest tract consists of two tillable fields, totaling 56.43 acres that are bisected by Limestone Creek, as well as a feeder stream to Limestone Creek. Access to the south field has been through the tenant’s property due to crossings being washed out, but it is not a deeded access.

Overall, this property offers an opportunity for a multitude of buyers. The recreational potential of this farm is incredible with limited hunting, good food, water, bedding, and access, all while providing a solid income. For the diverse operator, a good balance of pasture and quality tillable ground with the potential for a hunting lease to increase income is a very viable option. Multiple build sites offering great views exist throughout the property and electricity is available, in addition to the meter that serves the water well on the northeast tract. Access is second to none, just 10 minutes from the amenities of Mankato and 1/2 mile between the northern most property line and US-36.
