It is not every day you get the chance to purchase this much surface water in such a premier location. Just outside of the City of McPherson are 60 +/- acres of recreational and development land with a 14 +/- acre lake! The land is bordered by Interstate 135 on the east and 61 Highway on the south. This would be an excellent place to start a business with incredible daily traffic counts and exposure. Outside the city limits but within the agricultural transition zone, opportunities for numerous businesses or institution types exist. It could also become the perfect home site with utilities and water in the surrounding areas. Imagine your dream home, overlooking the water with room for all your hobby animals, while still being less than 5 minutes away from excellent jobs, shopping, and restaurants.
The recreational value of this property is undeniable. A 14 +/- acre lake fed by Dry Turkey Creek. This deep lake was built in 1985 and has been full of fish and waterfowl ever since. This lake is especially known for roosting thousands and thousands of migrating ducks and geese. With other sanctuary bodies of water nearby in the city limits that can't be hunted, this lake sits just on the periphery of town and is the birds' first stop on their way out to feed in nearby wheat fields. Opportunities and Mallards, Lesser Canadas, Speckle Belly, and Snow Geese can be world-class. This waterfowl hunting pursuit attracts hundreds of people from across the country to hunt near McPherson each winter. The 28 +/- acre tillable field would benefit from a pit blind to hunt the birds in the dry field, cut corn or green wheat with full body decoys. The lake would benefit from the installation of pits or box blinds on stilts, put these on the sand bar in the middle of the lake, and have birds circle in from any direction. Put up a cabin to stay overnight in, and a tool shed to store all your hunting/fishing equipment. This farm will always have birds in the sky, day after day, making memories for a lifetime. Stocked with catfish, a summertime visit for swimming, paddling, and fishing makes this farm easy to enjoy year-round.
The farm consists of 28 +/- acres of Class II Silty Clay Loam, it has 0-1% slope with an average NCCPI of 55. This makes for a good return on your investment. These tillable acres might even be able to be irrigated with a surface irrigation water right. The balance of the farm, besides the lake, is made up of woolly pasture grasses. There are lots of mature cedar trees and giant cottonwoods. There are a few deer using the property that provide additional hunting opportunities. Don't miss the chance for a once-in-a-generation property with one-of-a-kind hunting opportunities. Contact the Listing Agent Sean Thomas at (620) 712-2775 to see disclosures and schedule a showing.
