301st St , Melvern, KS 66510(Osage County)

We are offering this real estate in 5 tracts with three tracts located southeast of Melvern, Kansas not far from I-35 and 2 tracts located northeast of Melvern, Kansas, not far from Quenemo. Tracts 1 and 2 are contiguous and are being offered both individually and in combination as Tract 3, with the properties selling in whichever form garners the most proceeds. Tracts 4 and 5 are being offered individually only. The online auction will begin on October 13th at Noon and will begin closing on October 16th. Please note the ending times for each tract and that the auction will feature a dynamic closing meaning that any bids received within the last 3 minutes of the auction will extend the closing time to 3 minutes.

Every one of these tracts have capable and reputable tenants who all have expressed a desire to continue leasing the properties if the new owner wants a tenant farmer.

Tract 4 is 160 acres more or less and is located northeast of the intersection of Shawnee Heights Road and 301st St. just northeast of the town of Melvern. It features a diverse mix of mature hardwoods and thick cedars, mostly brome hay meadow and mixed grass pasture. This is another top-shelf hunting tract that’s just waiting to be tailored to your liking and managed for trophy whitetails. This property boasts a lot of natural screening on the interior of the property and multiple hidden pockets within the timbered portions that will make the ultimate foodplots and bedding areas, providing ultra-important comfort and privacy for the area deer. Hunters will also appreciate the entry points from both the south and the west roads, giving you options to best approach into the prevailing Kansas winds that often come from the north and the east during hunting season. While the heaviest timber is in the northern and eastern halves, one shouldn’t overlook the entirety of the property for potential stand locations. There’s a lot of deer sign in the southwest quadrant around the pond and that pocket of trees that appears to be a great spot set up.

The majority soil type on the property is Eram silty clay loam with 3% to 7% slopes and there’s over 25 acres of Aliceville silty clay loam that could  be suitable for conversion to foodplots/tillable if desired by the new owner.

The location is excellent with an approximate 1 hour drive from the KC metro. You can use a mostly pavement option going through the town of Melvern that’s approximately 9 miles from I-35 or you can use the shortest route option which is under 7 miles.

Give Cameron a call at 785-917-0867 to set up a tour of this spectacular hunting property. This one has tons of appeal and upside in spades for those wanting to develop their very own Kansas deer and turkey property.
