Hartford, KS 66854(Lyon County)

This 160 acre recreational property is located near Hartford, KS in Lyon county. This very unique property is a mixture of two large draws, pastures and two small crop fields. It has two small watering ponds as well. Located above the famous Eagle Creek, and a few miles from the John Redmond wildlife refuge, this property not only holds its own whitetail deer, turkey, dove, and quail, but collects the overflow of wildlife from the creek bottoms when the hunting season begins. The property has been allowed to overgrow naturally resulting in thick timber scattered with oaks, but also large stands of dogwood and buck brush on the high ground that the wildlife use for cover and bedding. The property is surrounded to the west and north by crop fields that the wildlife feed in at night. The option of putting in a larger pond upwards to 2 to 3 acres is possible due to the location and the grade of the land as it slants down to the creek bottom.

Permanent tree stands are already located on the property in key areas for instant hunting but options abound when wanting to add your own ambush sites. The current owners who have hunted it through the past 10 yrs do not enter the bedding areas unless they are trailing harvested game and do not over hunt the property. It has been a consistent producing area over the years due to this management style. The property and surrounding area consistently produces large bucks annually and the genetics in the area are as good as they get in Ks. A monster buck harvested just down the road placed first in 2013 Monster Buck classic held in Topeka, this deer put out a Gross score of an astonishing 219? of bone. The sheds of this deer were collected for the two previous years on this property! The property brings in some income due to pasture rental, a hay meadow, and the 16.2 acres of tillable. The current Agricultural renters would be willing to continue farming and ranching for a turn key solution to generating some income. An option to buy only a portion of the property can be arranged if it suits both parties and their long-term goals. This is the perfect property for the outdoorsman looking for quality wildlife habitat with multiple options and a proven track record.
