Ideal Grazing to Build Site Potential
Located north of Americus, Kansas, and south of Highway 56, sits this well-maintained 80 +/- acre tract that holds endless grazing opportunity along with prime built site potential. With a gently rolling landscape and all the dynamics needed, this property is one to tour to appreciate all the attributes!
Over the years, this tract has seen it all, from being open prairie with covered wagons passing over to being broken for tillable row crop in the late 1940s, then sown back to native and brome in the early 2000s. Currently, the tract holds 32 +/- acres of brome/native mix with the majority on the north end of the farm. There are 26 +/- acres in the middle that were never broken out and still stand in a healthy, virgin native grass. The grass stand is made up of big bluestem, little bluestem, Indian grass, switch grass, and eastern gama grass. The south end of the tract holds 22 +/- acres ...
Over the years, this tract has seen it all, from being open prairie with covered wagons passing over to being broken for tillable row crop in the late 1940s, then sown back to native and brome in the early 2000s. Currently, the tract holds 32 +/- acres of brome/native mix with the majority on the north end of the farm. There are 26 +/- acres in the middle that were never broken out and still stand in a healthy, virgin native grass. The grass stand is made up of big bluestem, little bluestem, Indian grass, switch grass, and eastern gama grass. The south end of the tract holds 22 +/- acres of go-back with terraces still prevalent along the southwest corner. The fencing on the tract is 5-strand barbed wire and is in average condition. The south line was fully replaced in 2022. The primary gate entrance is along the middle of the north side of the tract. There is a spring-fed pond that is located in the middle-west side of the property and provides year-round water. Even in the toughest drought conditions, the seller has yet to ever see the pond dry. This spring carries throughout the draw running northwest to southeast. This spring would also allow a great tapping spot for a well. The minerals are 1/2 intact, and the seller's 1/2 interest will transfer to the buyer at closing.
The tract could easily be subdivided into several built sites and holds all the prime needed items. With paved road frontage on the west side (Road F) and well-maintained gravel roadway along the north (Road 290), access is prime. There is electricity running down along Road F and Lyon County Rural Water District #1 running down Road F and Road 290. Currently, water meters are $3,000.00 per meter and are available.
With all the dynamics this tract holds, from fantastic grazing to build site potential, this tract is one to tour in person! For additional information or to schedule a tour, contact Brenda Doudican with Midwest Land Group.
