000 Avenue W, Hutchinson, KS 67502 - Rice County

A true recreational paradise! These 237 +/- acres are 3/4 of a mile deep, north to south, and a half mile wide, east to west, minus a narrow path from the abandoned/historic Frisco Railroad. Situated in the heart of the Sandhill Prairie, this contiguous habitat consisting of thick native pastures provides the rest and seclusion big Kansas deer need. Located between the Arkansas River and the Little Arkansas River, this geological funnel is known for its deer density and quality. The property is currently grazed, lease expiring November 1st, supporting 20 pairs each summer. The primary watering location is near the main gate, the windmill keeps the trough and dug pond full even in the driest of conditions. This water resource, in an otherwise arid landscape, is a magnet for all types of wildlife including those early-season bucks.

Heavy hardwood timber in the northeast corner provides dense cover and tree-stand locations. Cleared openings throughout the central portions of the property deliver an excellent setup for food plots, these travel corridors would hunt well from a ground blind. The southwest property boundary is a sand dune ridgeline that sits 70 feet above the low-lying areas to the east. This would be an ideal location for a tower blind, with trimmed shooting lanes down to food plot locations. This type of elevation gain within dense woodlands isn't found anywhere else in Central Kansas. The property sits in an excellent deer neighborhood! Trophy whitetails are taken in this couple square mile area every year. Leveraging the neighbor’s years of herd management and habitat implementation means that with a few adjustments, this property will be producing big bucks in year one. Warm season native grasses and plum thickets provide ideal conditions for ground nesting birds such as bobwhite quail and Rio Grande turkeys. Develop your own trail system for access to all your favorite hunting locations and for summertime fun with off-road vehicles. Build a cabin with easy access to electric and cable internet at Avenue W.
