1 18th Rd , Sterling, KS 67579(Rice County)

Here’s your chance to own a truly extraordinary piece of Kansas hunting heritage. Situated just south of cropland and with the Arkansas River to the south as well, this tract delivers phenomenal wildlife habitat and is well known for producing outstanding whitetail deer in addition to turkey, quail, fishing, and duck hunting opportunities. The property offers excellent access from Avenue Y on the northeast corner. It includes 20 acres of thick timber in the northwest corner, which have been fenced out of the pasture, featuring a mix of western soapberry, catalpa, locust, cottonwood, mulberry, elm, walnut, osage orange, and other native trees, along with plum thickets scattered throughout the grassland. These types of properties do not come available often as this property in particular has held by the same family for several generations. The river in this area typically flows year round providing fishing and duck hunting opportunities. When the surrounding marshes, ponds, and lakes freeze up the duck hunting along the river in this area is truly incredible.

Adjacent to the east, approximately 212+/- acres (Arkansas River Pasture Auction Tract 2) is also up for auction, providing an opportunity for expansion or combined recreational use. A shared water well with Tract 2 lies close to the property line. With cropland to the north, river water to the south, and Quivira National Wildlife Refuge just down the road, this tract provides the perfect blend of food, water, cover, and location for both game and outdoor enthusiasts. Conveniently located only minutes from Sterling and Hutchinson, and just over an hour from Wichita, this property offers the ideal mix of accessibility and seclusion. Whether you’re seeking premier hunting ground or a remarkable recreational investment, this tract is one you won’t want to miss.
