Located just off the Smoky Hill River near Wilson Kanas sits the fourth generation Kepka Family Farm, one of the most pristine properties in all of Ellsworth County. With one quick glance, you will be able to tell the care and effort this seller has put into this family farm over the years. Situated only a few miles from the sought-after 9,000-acre Wilson Lake, you will not find a better location to call home. A finished metal building home with all the extra’s will make someone a perfect forever home or a seasonal hunting lodge. Positioned just north of the house, you’ll find an immense 80x50 finished shop with heated concrete floors and an 80x15 enclosed lean-to. The shop is fully insulated and is equipped with electric doors on each end. Moving south of the house, you’ll find a beautiful 40x40 barn that has been fully restored for living quarters (not yet completed). The owner has the barn fully framed on the inside with concrete floors and a spacious loft above designed for bedrooms, bathrooms, and a recreational area. Also, located west of the farmstead, along the creek, is a country cabin frequently used for holiday gatherings and barbecues. More detailed information pertaining to the home, shop, and barn will be listed below in bullet points. The hunting opportunities on the farm are endless. Several trophy deer have been harvested in recent years, including a 200-incher shot a few years ago. The mature timber and winding creek bottom create an ideal habitat for Kansas Whitetails. A spring flows out of the hillside providing constant water even during drought. The spring water creates large slough areas surrounded by cattails making for a waterfowl paradise. This slough area is loaded with ducks and geese. Often this will be the only open water in the area during season. Upland birds are plentiful, considering the property has cropland and CRP, which is a dynamite recipe for quail and pheasant. The Kepka Farm is truly a sportsman’s paradise in one of the top-tier locations in the state for an abundance of wildlife.
