Broker’s Notes:
309 +/- Acres of PRIME Native Grass Pasture – Northern Washington County, Kansas
This 309 +/- acre tract of native grass pasture is a premium grazing opportunity located in the northern part of Washington County, Kansas. Nestled just 7 miles north of the town of Washington and only 5 miles south of the Nebraska state line, this property lies in a prime ranching area with convenient access to livestock markets in both states. Surrounded by several square miles of contiguous pastureland and just 1.5 miles east of the Washington County State Lake, this property offers privacy, productivity, and a turnkey setup for cattle producers.
The entire pasture consists of clean, well-managed native grass with a high forage value. The current owner has been proactive in pasture management, spraying the entire tract in late June to control any invasive brush or weed pressure—despite the fact that the grassland was already in excellent condition. This commitment to stewardship ensures that the pasture remains clean, productive, and able to support a high stocking rate. The rolling terrain and expansive views of the surrounding region make this a visually appealing and highly functional cattle property.
Water is one of the most critical components of any pasture, and this tract is exceptionally well-watered. The property is supplied by natural springs and spring-fed tanks, providing year-round water reliability. To further enhance livestock distribution and reduce overgrazing around a single source, two new stock tanks were recently installed. These additions make this pasture ready to support a full season grazing operations with confidence.
Infrastructure is equally strong. The perimeter fencing is in very good condition, consisting primarily of 4 and 5-wire barbed wire. The fencing has been well maintained and is cattle tight. Additionally, an all-pipe corral system is in place, providing a safe and efficient setup for working and loading livestock. These improvements offer immediate utility and reduce the need for costly upgrades.
Access to the property is outstanding. The pasture fronts a full mile of road along 25th Road, just one mile west of Quivira Road—a paved, county-maintained blacktop. The proximity to the blacktop and nearby markets adds significant value in terms of operational efficiency and logistical flexibility.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a well-located, clean native grass pasture with excellent water, fencing, and handling facilities. The size and condition of the tract make it ideal for expanding a cow-calf operation, backgrounding cattle, or simply owning a highly productive piece of Kansas grassland in a strong ranching area.
