The recreational potential for this small track is very impressive. Walker Creek traces through the property lined with mature hedges, locust, elm, and cottonwood trees. Several large cottonwoods provide excellent tree stand locations, as well as roosting trees for resident Rio Grande turkeys. The remainder of the property is characterized by strong strands of native forbs and grasses providing excellent browsing and cover. Approximately 12 acres of Class II tillable ground is currently planted to a winter wheat crop providing a strong food source for all local wildlife. Several small interior fields located along the creek and encompassed by timber are begging to be food plots. In just a few days, trail cameras filled up with bucks in all age classes. While walking the property, several large coveys of Bobwhite quail were flushed throughout the creek and fence lines.
If you’ve been looking for a beautiful build site, you’ll find no better option on the market. The contour of the property allows you to look out and view the entire creek system from above from the east entrance. It is easy to imagine this being the view from the back porch of a new home allowing its residents to enjoy watching the property’s ample wildlife every day. Power and rural water are located at the road along the south end of the property.
This one won’t last long. To inquire about the property or schedule a private showing contact Land Agent Cole Schumacher at (785) 656-1738.
