3721 183rd St. , Russell, KS 67665(Russell County)

Imagine a crisp Fall morning with dozens of whitetail deer feeding in the food plots below your tree stand as you patiently wait for a monster buck to appear from the picturesque autumn colored Smoky Hill River bottom hot on a doe’s trail. Envision the dawn of a cool Spring day as the Rio Grande turkeys fly down from their large cottonwood roost and begin strutting around in a nearby food plot. Thunderous gobbles send chills down your spine as you wait for the perfect opportunity to squeeze off your shot. Picture in your mind long strips of sorghum feed and tall grass strategically planted within a valley beneath cedar lined hills – loaded with pheasants and quail and your #1 hunting dog on point shaking with the anticipation of the covey of birds that will be taking flight any second. These experiences are only a small dose of what you can expect from this hunting paradise known as LaSada. Situated within the picturesque Smoky Hills region of Central Kansas, this acreage has been specifically designed, improved, and managed for the last few decades with one idea in mind - attracting and holding wildlife. Over a dozen individual food plots have been created and planted in secluded areas within the majestic hills of this property creating excellent food sources for deer and turkey traveling along the river bottom, and dozens of pheasants and multiple coveys of quail living within the plum thickets, heavy brush, and tall grass throughout the bottoms and hillsides. Multiple springs are active throughout the property and a large 5-acre pond provides a consistent water source for wildlife and a great open water landing spot for waterfowl migrating through the central flyway. While the primary focus of LaSada for many years has been world-class upland bird hunting, the incredible diversity and flawless location of this property tucked away in the hills overlooking the Smoky Hill River would allow for a seemingly easy transition to managing for trophy whitetail and turkey hunting if the new owner chose to. This area of Central Kansas surrounding the Smoky Hill River has historically been very reputable for producing Boone & Crockett whitetail deer. For nearly three decades, LaSada has operated as a full service pheasant and quail hunting outfitter throughout the Fall and Winter months, as well as a one of a kind outdoor venue for special events including weddings, corporate retreats, and many fundraisers throughout the Spring and Summer months. LaSada’s fully equipped Sporting Clay course has been a major attraction – having hosted National Sporting Clay tournaments and featuring one of the only ADA compliant and accessible sporting clay courses in the nation. Guests have been able to enjoy the pistol and rifle ranges on the property, and a new 3-D archery range is currently in the works. The indoor and outdoor venue space at LaSada is unlike anything you’ve ever seen.  The Black Swan Lodge, a former limestone dairy barn, has been uniquely developed into a beautiful rustic lodge featuring 7 private rooms, 3 full bathrooms, and multiple open living spaces for entertaining family, friends, and guests. From the loft above a large private deck overlooks the river bottom with a one of a kind view and a jet Jacuzzi sits below – perfect for relaxing after a long day of hunting. The southern entryway of the lodge ties right into the restaurant dining area that features a large fully equipped kitchen and seating for dozens of guests. The outdoor patio area provides a scenic and relaxing area for enjoying meals or a warm cup of coffee in the morning. The main residence on the property features 1,850 sq ft of open living space with vaulted ceilings and many great upgrades in the last few years. The residence consists of 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, an open living area with fireplace, and new kitchen and appliances. The bathrooms have been completely updated and refined with beautiful vessel sinks as well as a relaxing soaker tub. This family owned property has been handcrafted for nearly three decades and is now available for purchase. Whether a new owner chose to continue the current upland bird outfitting and event hosting venture, or had a new dream and direction for LaSada – one thing is for sure, you won’t find another property like it.  A million words and photographs cannot fully encompass everything within its boundaries.
