This Wilson County farm sits at the foot of the Kansas Flint Hills, and boasts a scenic 500 plus acres of clean native pastures atop timbered bluffs, over-looking the cool season bottoms of Crooked Creek. The terrain of the property nearly creates a bowl effect for seclusion and a beauty of its own. This farm has only changed hands once in the last 80 years and now it's coming to the open market. Almost 70 acres could be put back into productive cultivation, laced with timbered draws and rolling meadows. The western bluff provides cedar thickets the length of the farm and into the oak bluffs along the southern end. The farm offers 7 ponds, with the terrain to increase or build bigger water. The rock out croppings reduce the number of entries into the bottoms, and in combination with the ponds, naturally create pinch points and ideal feeder/plot locations to optimize the hunting potential...
