Description
Located along the Smoky Hill River, just 10 miles south of Ellis, KS, this one-of-a-kind riverbottom farm presents an incredible opportunity for avid hunters looking for that perfect Kansas riverbottom farm to pursue trophy whitetail deer, turkey, and quail. The Smoky Hill River has long held the reputation for producing Boone & Crocket caliber whitetail deer, and this farm includes all the details needed to hold and grow trophy caliber animals. With its prime location and exceptional features, this property is a haven for hunting those bruiser whitetail bucks the Sunflower State is known for. With nearly 1 ½ miles of Smoky Hill River running through the land, this property boasts beautiful riverfrontage and abundant wildlife habitat. The large cottonwoods lining the river provide not only an incredibly picturesque landscape but also top-notch cover and habitat for trophy whitetail deer and all other wildlife that call this area home. Mature cedars within the cottonwoods further enhance the wildlife habitat and serve as ideal cover for accessing treestands.
The South side of the river features 4 permanent hunting blinds strategically positioned overlooking the river bottom. Multiple deer feeders along the South side of the river attract and sustain wildlife activity year-round. This farm's layout is ideal for early or late-season firearms deer season, while the large cottonwoods throughout the river bottom provide textbook treestand setups for archery hunting during the incredible Western Kansas whitetail rut. Additionally, the river attracts several Rio Grande turkeys, offering great hunting opportunities, with several roosting trees on the property.
Just over 85 acres of cropland serves as incredible food plots for deer and turkeys, while also generating income. 14 acres on the West side is currently planted to alfalfa, creating an absolute honey hole for hunting whitetails in the Fall. This high-protein food source also encourages optimal antler growth through the Summer months! The center of the farm, South of the river, provides ample space for additional food plots and cropland acres. The north side of the river consists of head-high plum thickets, cedars, scattered trees, and tall grasses, creating excellent deer bedding areas and quail habitat. With open water in the river, the property also offers opportunities for great waterfowl hunting.
A small cabin overlooks a serene 1-acre pond, creating a peaceful retreat and serving as a basecamp during all hunting seasons.
The property sale includes 100% of the mineral rights, believed to be intact and transferring to the buyer. All of the seller's water rights will transfer as well, including an irrigation right that could be further developed for the 75+ acres on the West end of the farm!
It is no secret that Western Kansas river bottom farms are where the giant whitetails roam. With the perfect combination of water, cover, and food sources – this farm is completely set up for success and enjoyment. This is a very rare opportunity to own an incredible piece of the Smoky Hill River bottom in the best possible location you could ask for.
