The western portion of the tract features clean native grass pasture with approximately 70 feet of elevation change, naturally draining toward a 3.5-acre pond. Constructed in 2012 in memory of Theresa and Neil Carlson and locally known as "3 Finger Lake," the pond was thoughtfully designed and includes a wooden dock. The lake is stocked with fish, and bass were observed along the shoreline during inspection, making it an excellent fishing feature. The pond also attracts ducks and geese, adding valuable waterfowl hunting opportunities. The back quarter of the property is separated by good fencing and is well suited for rotational grazing, allowing livestock producers to efficiently manage forage while maintaining long-term pasture health. Approximately 60 acres of diverse wildlife habitat lie along a scenic draw that contains a live spring-fed stream. Mature stands of cottonwood, elm, hackberry, cedar, and sandhill plum thickets provide exceptional cover and natural travel corridors for wildlife. This area supports whitetail deer, turkey, pheasant, and quail, and the property is located within roughly four square miles of largely roadless pasture, creating a secluded environment where mature bucks can thrive with minimal pressure. Adding to the character of the land are several classic Smoky Hills sandstone outcroppings, showcasing the unique geology and natural beauty that define this region of Kansas. For hunters and recreational buyers, this tract offers the rare combination of water, habitat diversity, privacy, and scenic Smoky Hills views that have made central Kansas famous for producing trophy whitetails.
