Property Description
Triple-threat recreational properties are difficult to find, and even harder to improve upon. This 62.59± acre tract offers a unique combination of managed waterfowl habitat, quality whitetail hunting potential, and excellent turkey habitat enhancement opportunities in one of Southeast Kansas' most desirable recreational corridors. The centerpiece of the property is a professionally managed wetland impoundment designed specifically for waterfowl habitat and hunting. Adjustable water-control structures allow seasonal drawdowns and water-level manipulation, giving the owner the ability to manage moist-soil vegetation or establish planted forage before re-flooding. An upper water-supply pond provides additional management flexibility during dry conditions, allowing water to be introduced into the impoundment when natural rainfall is insufficient. Two established waterfowl blinds overlook the wetland, creating a turnkey setup for duck hunters seeking a manageable-sized property with significant habitat improvements already in place. Location further enhances the property's waterfowl appeal. Big Hill Lake lies approximately three miles away and serves as a major water source in the area. The reservoir encompasses approximately 1,240 surface acres and is known throughout Southeast Kansas for holding migratory waterfowl, including significant numbers of mallards during the late portion of the season when freezing conditions concentrate birds onto larger bodies of open water. The property's proximity to Big Hill Lake creates an attractive staging and feeding opportunity for ducks utilizing the reservoir and surrounding landscape. Whitetail hunters will immediately recognize the advantage created by the neighboring airport property. The eastern boundary adjoins a substantial no-hunting area that functions as a low-pressure refuge for deer. A large block of timber within this protected area provides secure bedding habitat, while the property's dense native grasses, brush, and transitional cover create natural movement corridors leading toward neighboring agricultural fields. Productive soybean ground borders the property to the south, providing a dependable annual food source. This combination of security cover, bedding habitat, transitional cover, and food creates the type of habitat diversity that consistently produces quality deer hunting opportunities throughout the season. During the rut, the property's location between multiple cover types and feeding areas naturally encourages buck movement through the farm. The final component of this recreational package is turkey hunting. Southeast Kansas is well known for strong Eastern turkey populations, and this property offers excellent opportunities for habitat enhancement. A few strategically maintained strut zones, open bugging areas, and supplemental feeding locations could quickly increase daily turkey use and create highly huntable setups for both spring and fall seasons. Accessibility is another unique feature. The property adjoins the local airport, allowing pilots the rare opportunity to fly in and potentially be in a blind or tree stand within minutes of landing. Distances to nearby population centers include: - Parsons, Kansas - approximately 15 miles - Tulsa, Oklahoma - approximately 85 miles - Wichita, Kansas - approximately 135 miles - Kansas City Metro - approximately 150 miles Whether your passion is chasing greenheads over a managed wetland, hunting mature whitetails near a low-pressure refuge, calling gobblers on a spring morning, or simply owning a highly versatile recreational property, this tract offers an uncommon opportunity to enjoy all three.
