Featuring a combination of productive agricultural land, recreational land adjoining Slate Creek Wetland Area, and a potential build site this property will be attractive to multiple buyer types. Located southwest of Oxford (within 45-minutes of Wichita), this parcel features clean native hay meadows with productive class II Milan Loam soils, a wet weather creek, pond, potential for a large waterfowl pond/marsh development, potential tillable land, and adjoining utilities. Deer, turkeys, ducks, geese, pheasants, and quail were all observed when viewing the property, offering good year-round hunting potential to the outdoor enthusiast.

This property is located roughly 5-miles southwest of Oxford and has gravel road access along both its northern and western borders. From an agricultural perspective, this parcel is composed of clean native grass meadows that are currently utilized for hay production. Meadow acreage on the parcel lays gently rolling, being open and easily hayable. Underlying soils of the meadow acreage on the property are composed of roughly 90% Milan Loam class II soils offering potential for adding crop acreage to the property if desired (cropland located directly north, east, south, and west of this property). Productive soils also create potential for adding food plots to the property to further enhance its hunting appeal. In addition to the agricultural attributes of the property, the parcel also offers good hunting opportunities with deer, turkeys, ducks, geese, pheasants, and quail all observed when viewing the property. While a significant portion of the tract is open, offering productive agricultural use, the non-hayed acreage on the property offers great cover for deer, turkeys, quail, and pheasants with a majority of the southeastern portion of the property hidden from view of the public road offering good safe seclusion for wildlife. The property additionally adjoins the 900+ acre Slate Creek Wetland Area adding good waterfowl hunting appeal to the subject property as well. Slate Creek Wetland Area is designed for holding waterfowl with 50-acres of marshes present. Additional acreage at Slate Creek Wetland Area consists of thick brush, timber, and tall grasses offering great cover to deer, quail, pheasants, and turkeys. The creek and pond at the southern end of the property adjoining Slate Creek Wetland Area provide good waterfowl hunting opportunities, however, an additional large pond area in the middle of the property offers additional potential for adding a large waterfowl pond/marsh development to the property to further enhance its waterfowl appeal. This area currently has the dam cut and needs repair; however, this area is large and has potential for adding a large 2-6 acre pond/marsh area to the property for attracting ducks and geese that frequent the adjoining Slate Creek Wetland Area. Overall, this property offers a wide variety of hunting opportunities within an easy 45-minute drive of Wichita. For those looking to build their dream home in the country, or a weekend getaway retreat within a 45-minute drive of Wichita, this tract has attractive views and is located near utilities. An electrical line runs along the northern border of the property and a rural water line is located at the northwest intersection of the property.
