Land Description
Do not miss your opportunity to purchase this income producing waterfowling legacy property.LandProperty Description The Water, Wetlands, and Waterfowl property is a 155 acre irrigated property located just 11 miles to the south of the nation's largest inland marsh, Cheyenne Bottoms. Cheyenne Bottoms is a critical stopping point in the central flyway for millions of birds which migrate through the region each year. 11 miles Southeast of this property you will find Quivira National Wildlife Refuge where 800,000 geese and ducks pass through each fall en route to the Gulf Coast and Mexico. These two wetlands are of international importance and are both just a short 11 miles from this irrigated cropland. With more than 20 acres of wetlands, a small pond, 150 acres of high quality food, and minimal hunting pressure over the last several years makes this a field of dreams for almost any waterfowler. Sandhill cranes frequent this property and the surrounding cropland, ducks constantly and consistently using the wetlands and pond, and large flocks of Canada, White-Fronted, and Snow Geese all can be found on this property each year. The property is free from any WRP or conservation easements currently and with the abundant water rights, location, and cropland this property is ready for your development. The old farmstead with the barn, shop, waterwell, electricity, and northern wind break would make a great place to build a home or lodge on the property to enjoy the wildlife all season long.
