0000 NW 70th Ave, Russell, KS 67665 - Barton County

This recreational farm truely can "Do It All". The seller has set this farm up to maximize all the potential it has to be a haven for all types of wildlife.

Upland Birds: Multiple shelterbelts were established over 8 years ago to begin to improve the cover and habitat of this property. The 76 +/- acres of tillable ground features some class II soils and are rotated annually providing a continuous food source for upland birds. Buffer strips along the shelterbelts adjacent to the tillable acres maximize the bird hunting. Great numbers of pheasant and quail are routinely harvested on this property.

Waterfowl: Two ponds on the property routinely have excellent numbers of geese and ducks. The owner has strictly controlled access to the hunting over the years, especially the waterfowl. There has been very little intrusion into this property over the years, leaving the waterfowl undisturbed.

Whitetail: The owner has set up food plots in the heart of the property surrounded by shelter belts. This allows easy access in and out of the permanent hunting blind that will remain with the property. This farm sets just a half mile SE of Landon Creek and pulls good number of deer from the area. Anyone who has hunted the western half of Kansas knows that it doesn't take big timber to hold deer. This farm showcases that. Permanent blind and deer feeder to remain with property.

Fishing: The large pond has been stocked with bass, bluegill and catfish. There is a pontoon boat, that serves as a dock that will remain with the property.

Dove: The west pond is set up perfectly for dove hunting in the early fall. The owner reports harvesting big numbers of dove from that pond each year.

The property features a 50' x 100' metal frame shed. There is a large overhead door on the west side and double sliding doors on the east end. With the current dirt floor, it would easy convert a portion of the shed to living space. The shed entrance features a large section of new fence and new gates.

The seller has also an established RV pad with electric service ran underground. The 5th wheel (1996 Newmar Kountry Star) camper will remain with the property. Additionally, the property has an established rural water meter. These meters are becoming increasingly hard to get as rural water districts continue to limit development as water sources become harder to access.

The tillable acres are under an annual cash rent agreement paying $3,375/year.
