I 70 , Manhattan, KS 66502(Riley County)

This native grass pasture located on the north side of I-70 near Tallgrass Road provides an excellent grazing opportunity and also includes several unique features that provide recreation opportunities. In addition to the grass being in good condition, several practices have been implemented to improve water quality. First, you will notice that the large pond in the southern portion is fenced entirely. There are multiple stock tanks located below the dam that can be fed from the pond, providing an alternative water source for livestock.Continuing with the water quality improvement theme, you will find the riparian area located in the northern portion of the pasture has also been fenced to prevent livestock from accessing it if one chooses. There is a stock tank within the area to provide clean water to livestock when allowed access to graze, but it also provides a water source for wildlife. The riparian area has several areas where cattails are growing, and it is wet throughout. If waterfowl hunting is your focus, a person could explore creating a shallow water area that ducks will love. The area is thick with pockets of brush, providing an excellent place for whitetail deer to hide. The topography allows a person to overlook the entire riparian area in search of a cruising buck. This doesn't have the appearance one comes to expect for whitetail habitat in the Flint Hills, but excluding cattle will result in a sanctuary for deer throughout the year.Whether you are in need of pasture to increase your grazing operation or a place to start your own herd of livestock, this opportunity to own a piece of the Flint Hills is one you don't want to miss. If you want a place to hunt that has a foundation laid, yet a clean slate to make it your own, this is one you want to look at. Contact the listing agent today to schedule a showing.
