Exceptional Recreation Retreat in Big Deer Country
Located 35 miles north of Manhattan, Kansas, adjoining the most northern point on Tuttle Creek Lake, this 152 +/- acre farm is well diversified and nestled in the heart of proven big deer country. On the drive to the farm, you can begin to appreciate why this area is so sought out and one-of-a-kind, with the rolling pasture hills, deep timbered draws, fertile crop fields, flowing creeks, and seclusion, just a taste of what the farm brings. Driving down Halls Ravine Road, the cattle guard entrance takes you across the open range to Axelton Hill Road. By now, you know how little traffic actually makes it to this area - typically just the rancher out feeding cattle and the like-minded neighbor that lives to the adjoining east. Axelton Hill Road dead-ends right at the start of farms property line, then after, is a gated private drive.

The 152 acres has been under intense management with the longtime owner creating a well balanced habitat for thriving wildlife. Over the years, several Boone and Crockett trophy deer have been harvested on the farm, with others passing from old age. The genetics for typical and non-typical are here to grow big deer. This also is a turkey paradise with roosting spots down in the bottoms with tracts running up and down the creek line food plot area. The established internal trail system allows one to access all areas of the property with ease through multiple entrance points, so wind direction is never an issue when getting in and out of the stand.
With 60 acres of mature hardwood timber, 20 acres of food source areas and 72 acres of native Buffalo and Bluestem grass, the habitat is prime. Fancy Creek feeder flows along the western hillside throughout the property then adjoins Tuttle Creek Lake.
A build site on the southeast side sits tucked up on a hillside overlooking the bottoms with utilities and a water well ready to go. There is no better place to be when the sun starts setting, you get the best feeling of peace while watching, feeling, and hearing Mother Nature hard at work. This 152 acre recreation retreat is hands down one that almost never comes around in a lifetime and is one to tour in person!
