Big Income and Big Bucks

Imagine while playing the wind for the perfect shot on a giant Kansas whitetail deer, that same wind is putting dollars in your pocket. Add in some oil/gas production and agricultural income and you have an awesome Kansas land parcel that pays you to hunt! Land Located in northern Harper County, this parcel is diverse and beautiful. Set among the rolling hills, the east side of the property has a good history of hay production and strategically placed food plots. The western side of the property is set up for cattle grazing through the native grass, winding creek bed and mature timber. There are two nice ponds on-site that can be used by wildlife, livestock and also for recreation, as the bigger of the two holds fish. The diversity of this parcel allows for creativity about how you choose to put it to use.  There are many ways to utilize the resources this land provides. Improvements There are oil and gas pump jacks and storage tank batteries located on the property to support the oil and gas production. There is also one wind turbine on the property that provides lease income. Barbed wire fencing around the property is more than adequate for livestock and the gates are in good shape. Recreation There are some monster, wall worthy bucks on this place. The Kansas whitetail deer is a highly sought after species by hunters and sportsmen worldwide, and this property has it’s share of the best. The property has everything a whitetail deer could want…food, water and cover. The deer bed down in the secluded native pasture among the grass and sand plum thickets and feed at the food plots located near the mature timber and in the lowlands near the creek bed. There are well-worn travel corridors throughout the property that show the paths of multiple generations of bucks, does and fawns making their way within the property. There are several good stand positions on the property as well. There are plenty of edges, open parks and high vantage point lookouts throughout the property. Kansas has recently had a number of quality quail hatches and this property is thick with bob white quail right now. The unmistakable whistles can be heard throughout the property. One look at the habitat and you will understand why the quail numbers are so good. The grass has not been overgrazed and there are plenty of sand plum thickets, locust trees and sumac all providing great overstory cover.  There is no need to “build it and they will come” on this one…it is ready to hunt. The ponds hold water throughout the year (even through the recent extreme drought) and are just the right size for a two to four person waterfowl hunt. This property sits in the middle of the central flyway and routinely attracts ducks and geese to the ponds. There are also a number low spots that could fairly easily be converted into a shallow marsh for additional waterfowl opportunities.   Agriculture A portion of the property will be going into the Grassland Reserve Program on a new 15 year contract. This program will provide income to the owner and can still be grazed and utilized. There is also a nice production hay meadow on the east, or top side of the property and cattle have been lightly grazed on the west side. There is a solar well in the middle of the property that keeps a stock tank full for both wildlife and livestock. Water/Mineral Rights & Natural Resources This property provides a nice return on investment! With both wind energy and oil/gas production, this property is poised to produce a return for years to come. Mineral rights and water rights will both transfer to the new owner, along with the rights to three wind turbines. There is one turbine on the property, but you also get the income and rights to two additional turbines that actually reside on adjacent land. This kind of passive income that comes with a Kansas sunset and recreational opportunities has never been this awesome! Location Located in north central Harper County, Kansas, the property is less than one hour from Wichita’s Eisenhower National Airport and is easy to get to with all but one and a half miles of that distance on blacktop. Harper County, KS receives an average of 33 inches of rain per year and an additional 12 inches of snow each year, on average. The average high temperature in July is 94 degrees and the average January low is 22 degrees.
