There is a smaller spring fed stream that traverses the property from the SE to the NW before it flows into the valley of Crooked Creek. This stream would remind you of the Rockies or the Ozarks as its clear spring fed water flows over a rocky bottom. Where this stream enters the valley of Crooked Creek the land levels out and there are multiple locations where one or more ponds could easily be constructed.
Currently this land is used heavily by wildlife. Its the perfect place for deer and turkey to rest or roost when they are not in the nearby crop fields. We have never entered this property without scaring up deer, and the signs are everywhere. This is the perfect spot in the wintertime for wildlife to enter the valley to get out of higher hills and the cold winter winds. Not only is wildlife protected here, but Crooked Creek offers open water for drinking even during the coldest times of the year.
The elevation on this property drops over 93 feet from the highest point to the valley floor. The sunrises and sunsets are spectacular. Its possible to enter this paradise and only hear and see what you would have experienced 200 years ago. Currently the land is rented for pasture, on a year to year lease, but the tenant is willing to negotiate an early exit if a new buyer so desires. The land has good soils and has been farmed in the past. The valley floor has excellent soils and so the potential for fertile food plots is everywhere. The seller is having the property surveyed for new legal and acreage descriptions.
And in what may be the most unique thing about this property is that is not a 2 day drive away. It is only about an hour or so from Kansas City, Lawrence, Topeka or Leavenworth. You can visit this property for an afternoon, or day, or even just on a whim. There arent many properties like this that ever come on the market. If you have been looking to find a nearby place to escape the confusion and hecticness of the everyday world. You may have just found it.
