Hunt Ready Farm with Excellent Accommodations and History

Located in central Pottawatomie County, just south of Westmoreland, this 81.5 +/- acre property offers a rare blend of scenic beauty, tasteful improvements, history, and wildlife habitat. The topography of the land rolls with 80' of elevation change, shrouded in cover. Cedar trees make up the majority of the timber with one hardwood draw and a few scattered cottonwood trees. Cleared areas of native grass provide natural forbs for wildlife cover and food. Tucked in the hardwood draw lies a year-round natural spring providing a valuable water source even in times of drought. An extensive trail system courses through the property, connecting the cleared native areas with the 2 food plots that are situated on the northern side of the farm. The property's hunting history is strong with a proven record of trail camera and harvest photos. Two enclosed tower blinds, a Banks and a Shadow Hunter, can be found in the foodplots in addition to two 1,000 lb Outback feeders. The previous owner has consistently supplemented the local deer, turkey, and quail with corn feeders year-round, which, coupled with a lack of intrusion, creates a fantastic recipe for low-pressure wildlife. This is a farm that has been managed with intention, creating an ideal setup for a bow or rifle hunter. In addition to the box blinds, multiple bow stands can be found around the property. I was really impressed with the amount of quail and dove on the property as well. With a low travel minimum maintenance road on the west side and a trail system throughout, accessing the different stand locations on this farm is second to none. The cabin can be found on the south end of the property, sitting amongst the remains of the old limestone home and buildings of one of the original settlers of Westmoreland. The covered front porch faces south and provides a panoramic view of pasture ground to the south that is out of this world. The 2016-built cabin is 800 square feet and consists of 1 bedroom, a sizable bathroom, an open kitchen and living space, and a mud/laundry room. It comes fully furnished with all appliances, a washer, and a dryer. A rural water meter is in place along with electrical, and a county-approved septic system was installed at the time of construction. A recently installed 6-person storm shelter adds a layer of safety during severe weather. Additional buildings include a detached single-car garage and a three-sided equipment shed, both ideal for storing the full suite of land management tools that convey with the sale - Land Pride rotary tiller, brush hog, box blade, cultipacker, fertilizer spreader, a 3,000 lb King Ag corn trailer, and a Club Car buggy. Completely turn-key hunting tracts with high-quality accommodations are a scarcity in this market, and with the ability to secure a non-resident landowner tag every year, this is not one to overlook. Restaurants and additional activities are prevalent in the area, with Manhattan and Wamego both just a short drive away. The farm is 17 minutes from Wamego, 35 minutes from Manhattan, and 55 minutes from Topeka. For maps, disclosures, or to schedule a showing, call Joey Purpura at (785) 831-3045.
