Ranch 160 at Wild Horse Creek is a turn-key recreational and investment property located just northwest of Ness City, Kansas. This exceptional 78.9 +/- acre tract offers dependable CRP income, quality hunting improvements, outstanding wildlife habitat, and scenic rolling prairie views.
The property has been thoughtfully improved with a new Redneck hunting blind, a gravity feeder, a new road-frontage fence, and a gated entrance, making it hunt-ready from day one. The entire property is enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) through September 2035, providing reliable annual income with minimal management. Beneath the CRP lies highly productive soils with an impressive NCCPI score of 72, giving future owners the flexibility to return the property to crop production once the contract expires while also offering excellent food plot potential.
Located near Wild Horse Creek, one of the area's primary wildlife travel corridors, the property provides outstanding habitat for mature whitetail deer and is an exceptional upland bird property with strong populations of pheasants and quail. Established native grasses create ideal bedding, nesting, and escape cover, while the rolling topography offers multiple stand locations and panoramic views across the Kansas prairie.
A natural low-lying basin on the property adds another valuable habitat feature. During wetter seasons, this depression collects runoff, creating a seasonal water source that attracts deer, upland birds, and other wildlife. During dry conditions, the bowl-shaped terrain provides excellent wind protection and cover, encouraging wildlife to remain on the property year-round.
Western Kansas is widely recognized for producing mature whitetail deer thanks to its expansive native grasslands, agricultural food sources, and low hunting pressure. Combined with excellent pheasant and quail populations, Ranch 160 offers the opportunity to enjoy diverse hunting experiences in one of the state's premier recreational regions.
Adding even further value, 100% intact mineral rights are negotiable with the sale. The seller currently owns mineral interests associated with a producing oil well on a neighboring property, creating an opportunity for the buyer to acquire valuable mineral rights along with the land. Priced to sell, Ranch 160 at Wild Horse Creek is an outstanding opportunity for investors, hunters, and outdoor enthusiasts seeking dependable CRP income, exceptional wildlife habitat, quality hunting improvements, and long-term appreciation in one of western Kansas' most treasured recreational locations.
