On the banks of the Elk River lies this 465 +/- acre recreational playground packed full of outdoor entertainment. Just south of Oak Valley, this farm sits right off a well-maintained gravel road that pulls right up to a stunning 1,500-square-foot cabin. This well-maintained and furnished cabin comes with 3 bedrooms and two full baths. The wonderful yet simple design has a spacious kitchen and dining area for a fun-filled night, where you can reminisce about the day's hunt and tomorrow's opportunities afield. When the weather allows, step out to a nice screened-in porch to listen to that spring toms gobbling off in the distance during the morning. The cabin has a large 3-bay style garage and an excellent spot for side-by-sides, UTVs, or 4-wheelers. Enough room exists for future locker room-style additions to get ready for that big hunt. From the house, it's a quick ride or walk, if you prefer, to the barn. A lovely 30'x50' barn with a concrete floor in the storage area accompanies 3 horse stalls. Creating a perfect future home for any equestrian needs, small farm equipment, and feed storage.
From the barn, you will notice the farm's amazing topography changes, with four different hilltops that give growing deer plenty of room to hide and strutting toms room to show off. The hardwood hills are covered in mostly oaks, creating a pile of acorns for wildlife to snack on year-round, as well as hideout locations that allow for proper age structure and growth for big Kansas bucks. This farm is full of heavy rubs and travel trails. The farm also contains many great stand locations in the middle of high travel areas and pinch points. These stands provide a ton of opportunities to fill that Kansas tag. The farm also has a well-placed 3.5-acre food plot that is surrounded with large block timber in 3 directions allowing for good food and nutrition to be in a great place. The farm is also home to 5 different watering holes from which all wildlife can grab a drink. The main one is a 2-acre pond that is stocked and ready for the new owner to enjoy year-round fishing. From the porch, you will be able to overlook this pond in all its beauty.
As you come out of the hills and timber country of this farm, you follow a nice road into the lush, deep, dark soils of the Elk River bottom. This farm has very rich Verdigris and Lanton silt loam soils. The 70 +/- acres of prime rich river bottom tillable production will provide the new owners excellent opportunities for additional income. What really shines to me when traveling this part of the farm is nearly the 1 mile of Elk River frontage. Here you will find amazing opportunities for fishing in the spring and summer, from white bass and crappie to flatheads and bluecats that call this river home. The natural layout of this tillable farm also provides a great opportunity for future duck hunting and marshland development. All along this stretch of the river, you will see a solid stand of timber from oaks, walnuts, cottonwoods, sycamores, and pecan trees to name a few. An additional benefit to this farm is the close proximity to the 12,500 acres of managed fishing and hunting at Elk City Reservoir and Wildlife Area.
Coming out of the bottoms, you navigate your way back towards the cabin and notice the raw amount of true beauty that mother nature has and encompass this farm. It truly is a must-see location to take it all in and see everything this farm has to offer!
