Recreation Retreat on Dragoon Creek with Lake and Cabin
Located just northeast of Osage City, Kansas sits this 65-acre retreat farm that holds unreal opportunities for recreation and endless memories in the making and is one for the books, as a farm dialed in with all this one has to offer is so rare, it’s almost non-existent!
Coming out north of the charming town of Osage City, which holds plenty of dining options, a perfect grocery store, convenient stores, a variety of shopping, and endless entertainment, continue to 213th Road and Wanamaker Road. At this T, the property north becomes a private drive. Going down the ¼ mile driveway to the double swing gates, you’ll already feel how special this farm is with the seclusion and 360-degree beauty. Through the front gates off to the right sits the 18 acres of alfalfa with a smaller spring-fed watering pond. This area is always loaded with turkey and deer in the mornings and especially in the e...
Coming out north of the charming town of Osage City, which holds plenty of dining options, a perfect grocery store, convenient stores, a variety of shopping, and endless entertainment, continue to 213th Road and Wanamaker Road. At this T, the property north becomes a private drive. Going down the ¼ mile driveway to the double swing gates, you’ll already feel how special this farm is with the seclusion and 360-degree beauty. Through the front gates off to the right sits the 18 acres of alfalfa with a smaller spring-fed watering pond. This area is always loaded with turkey and deer in the mornings and especially in the evenings. Continuing down the driveway towering Burr Oaks line the way with Dragoon Creek wrapping the bank all the way to the cabin.
The 2-bedroom cabin with a kitchen and main area provides the perfect setup for overnight stays and a gathering spot with a covered deck that overlooks the lake. Electric, well water, and septic. From this point, you can see Dragoon Creek to the north and the sprawling lake and covered dock to the south. Head down to the dock, fish, and swim the days away. Water so clear, the kids won't mind and the parents won't worry. With just a few casts, there is no doubt you’ll have one of the many 5 + pound bass on the line. You can walk the bank and cast in any location without getting snagged as this spring-fed lake stays moss free with the flowing water. Plenty of waterfowl with open waters in the winter months as well! Down behind the spillway which drains into Dragoon Creek, you’ll see one of the most impressive rock pools that has been forged in time creating a waterfall when the lake drains. Endless adventures in the water, clay, rocks, and mud all the way to the creek. Within a few steps, you can look in any direction and see deer signs all around with highway systems throughout. Go underneath the once main road bridge and it opens up into a wide creek bed. Crystal clear with a rock bottom, watch the fish swim in the deep pooling spots, or enjoy the sandbar areas. Dragoon Creek is almost more of a river as it always is flowing with open waters and has size.
Back up top along the dam, head along the trail that wraps the east side of the property. Here is where the full rut magic takes place. Plenty of opportunities for mature whitetails here and with proven genetics in the area, 170’s plus is an annual event. With the creek that continues to the south property line, heavy timber stand, and native pasture, all the key factors are in place. Not to mention all the large tillable tracts that surround as well. Established shooting lanes already in place and making it easy for one to walk right in and enjoy the hunt. From bowhunting to rifle, this elevation and setup has everyone covered. From deer, turkey, quail, and waterfowl, this farm allows one to hunt every season year-round. Don’t be surprised if you come across a few prairie chickens along the way as well. The property is fenced with 5-stand barbed wire along the east, west, and south. The south line has been fully replaced in 2019 with piped breakaway water gap. All mineral rights are intact and transfer to the new owner.
With all this 65-acre diversified tract has to offer on top of the 7-acre lake and cabin, this is one for the books and with only two owners in the history, it’s a special one and won’t last long!
