Full Section Recreational Ranch with Cabin | Lyon County, KS

Located in northeast Lyon County just south of Reading on the edge of the Flint Hills, this full-section ranch offers quality improvements, excellent hunting, productive native grass, and outstanding recreational opportunities. Conveniently located just 20 minutes from Emporia and only 78 miles from the Kansas City metro, this property offers the perfect combination of accessibility and seclusion. Taking advantage of one of the highest points on the ranch, a custom built 864-square-foot cabin overlooks the surrounding countryside. Built on a permanent foundation, the cabin features one bedroom, one full bathroom, a comfortable living area, and a spacious loft that can accommodate multiple guests or hunting partners. Step out onto the front porch and enjoy panoramic views of the rolling hills with Melvern Lake visible in the distance. The improvements continue with a 60' x 30' barn offering plenty of room for equipment and storage. Rural electric services the property, while a cistern water system supplies the cabin. A backup Generac generator powers both the cabin and barn, providing dependable service year round. The land is what truly sets this ranch apart. Approximately 130 acres remain in original native prairie, while another 120 acres have been recently been established into native grass by the current owners. The balance of the ranch consists of mature timber, plum thickets, draws, waterways, and seven ponds, creating an ideal mix of productive grazing and outstanding wildlife habitat. If you're looking for a hunting property, this ranch is set up extremely well. The owners have spent years improving the property with an emphasis on quail, establishing plum thickets along terraces that now provide outstanding nesting cover while also creating ideal bedding areas and travel corridors for whitetail deer. The combination of mature plum thickets, timber, rolling terrain, dependable water, and low hunting pressure makes this property hunt much larger than its size. Several areas remain where a new owner could establish food plots to make an already great hunting property even better. One of the biggest advantages of this property is that much of the equipment used to maintain the ranch is included with the sale. The tractor and attachments, mower, sprayers, tools, diesel farm truck, and water tank used to service the cistern system will all convey, making it easy for the next owner to enjoy the property from day one. Whether you're looking for a turnkey hunting property, a weekend getaway, a productive Flint Hills ranch, or a long-term investment, opportunities like this are hard to find. Full sections rarely come available in this area, especially those offering quality improvements, included equipment, and the diverse habitat this property provides.
