This listing is located in Morris County northeast of Council Grove (1-mile west of the Lyon/Morris County line). The property lays along a tributary of Rock Creek and includes crop, pasture, and timber acreages. This parcel provides good hunting opportunities for deer, quail, and turkeys with a nice combination of cropland, bedding cover, water, and mature timber flanking a small creek. The tract has gravel county road access on its northern and western borders and includes an older homesite with dwelling and outbuildings.

A small creek runs along the southern property border with mature timber and good bedding areas. Crop fields run the entire 1/2-mile length of the small creek on the southern border of the property providing an excellent food source for wildlife in the area. The combination of creek, timber, and cropland along the bluff on the south end of the property creates a natural funnel for wildlife with deer heavily traveling the property east to west during the rut providing fantastic bowhunting opportunities. The backside of the property offers a large draw running from the crop ground on the southern end of the property to the crop acreage on the northern end of the property. The draw is hidden from public view offering a secluded and secure location for deer to bed or travel between crop fields. This draw offers an excellent location for a rifle hunter. The timber north of the build site on the property is thick with cedars and includes a nice natural spring. This area offers great bedding cover. Overall, the property should provide tremendous deer, quail, and turkey hunting opportunities to the land owner.
