Property Description
The Washington County Tillable, Timber & Water is a well-balanced 119.73 ± acre tract that combines productive cropland with strong hunting. Few properties in north-central Kansas offer this mix at this size. The farm has 70.55 ± tillable acres, a 4.18 ± acre pond, and roughly 45 ± acres of mature timber. It works for a buyer who wants an income-producing farm, a dedicated hunting property, or both.
Recreation
The timber offers heavy cover, travel corridors, and bedding areas that hold whitetail deer and a strong turkey population year-round. North-central Kansas is known for producing trophy-class whitetails, and the mix of mature timber, crop ground, and water on this farm gives deer everything they need to reach their full potential. The 4.18 ± acre pond draws good numbers of ducks and geese during the fall and spring migrations, and the surrounding crop fields provide added feeding opportunities for waterfowl. Outside of waterfowl season, the pond adds fishing and scenery. Because the property is over 80 acres, a nonresident owner may qualify for a Kansas nonresident landowner deer permit each year without entering the draw. That benefit makes this property especially attractive to out-of-state hunters looking for a place to chase big Kansas bucks.
Agriculture
The farm includes 70 ± acres of productive tillable ground. Nearly 72% of the cropland is Crete silty clay loam on gentle 1 to 3 percent slopes. Crete is a deep, well-drained soil with excellent water-holding capacity and is among the most dependable soils in north-central Kansas. Most of the remaining acres are Longford silt loam and Crete silty clay loam on slightly steeper ground. Over 99% of the tillable acres are Class II and III soils, with a weighted average NCCPI of 62.3. The ground is well suited for wheat, corn, soybeans, and milo, and gives a buyer a reliable income base to farm themselves or lease out.
Region & Climate
Washington County sits in north-central Kansas just south of the Nebraska line. It’s known for rolling hills, fertile soils, and generations of family farms and cattle ranches. Cropland, native grass, and timbered creek bottoms support strong deer and turkey populations. Milford Lake, Lovewell Reservoir, and Jamestown Wildlife Area are all within about an hour.
The area has four distinct seasons: warm summers, long mild falls ideal for hunting, and cold but manageable winters. Annual precipitation averages around 30 inches, most of it during the growing season.
