These properties have been thoughtfully configured to optimize their potential value, making them highly versatile for cattle grazing, farming, hunting, and income generation.

Moreover, a unique year-to-year lease agreement with the State of Kansas covers 2 acres of the south property, yielding an income of $5,000 per annum.

The 142-acre northern property consists of 88+/- acres of cropland, presently planted to wheat.
