We are honored to represent the late Gene and Bettie Horst family with the sale of this premium Verdigris River property via online auction. Located in northwest Greenwood County (5-miles from Chase County and 3-miles from Lyon County), this parcel totals 320 +/- acres and is a beautiful Flint Hills headquarter unit with excellent hunting appeal. The property features 115 +/- acres of primarily class I Reading Silt Loam bottomland cropland, 1-mile of the Verdigris River, 170' of topography change, productive native and cool season pastures and hay meadows, pipe cattle pens with concrete bunks and aprons for feeding cattle, two build sites with homes, beautiful views for miles in all directions of the Verdigris River Valley and surrounding Flint Hills, and wonderful hunting along the Verdigris River. You aren't going to want to miss your opportunity to invest in this high-quality tract as acreages of this size along the Verdigris River rarely hit the open market!    This parcel is located along the Verdigris River west of Madison in the big open Flint Hills grass area just east of the open range. The parcel totals 320 +/- acres in size and is a beautiful headquarter unit that is set up extremely well for a diversified farm and ranching operation. Composed of premium bottomland cropland, diversified native and cool season pastures and meadows, pipe pens for feeding cattle, and two build sites with homes already in place, this property is ready to move to and start or expand your operation!    Crop acreage on the property is located in three level to gently rolling fields that total roughly 115 +/- acres with over 85% Reading Silt Loam class I bottomland soils. Crop acreage is of exceptional quality for the area and offers great potential for strong crop yields and/or high yielding feed production for feeding livestock. Crop acreage on the property is fully fenced, allowing for cattle to be ran on wheat pasture or stalks over the winter months (all acreage on the property is fenced allowing for utilization of the whole property for a cattle operation). Areas to the southwest of the western build site (over 80% Reading and Ivan bottomland soils) and to the east of the eastern build site (over 80% Kenoma Silt Loam upland soils) were farmed in the past and could be converted back to crop production if desired adding an additional 30+/- acres of cropland to the property. Grass acreage on the parcel consists of a mixture of native, brome, and fescue pastures, meadows, and grass traps offering a great combination of summer grazing, cool season hay ground, and cool season traps for starting/backgrounding cattle. In addition to the grass acreage on the property, the tract also includes multiple sets of pipe pens for holding and feeding cattle. The eastern set of pens on the property includes roughly 400' of fence line concrete bunks with concrete aprons. The pipe pens on the property lay adjacent to the crop acreage on the parcel allowing cattle to be fed in the pens during the winter months while also allowing them access to wheat pasture or stalks on the crop ground. A large pit silo is also located near the eastern set of pens for storing silage.    The property includes two build sites adding to the strong appeal of the property as a headquarter unit and to those looking for a place to stay when they come to hunt. Both sites include multiple outbuildings and as well as a home on each. The western build site includes a 2250sf 4-bedroom dwelling with attached garage, multiple outbuildings, pipe pens with loadout, and a grain bin. The eastern build site includes a 1650sf 3-bedroom dwelling, a 800sf detached garage, a 2000sf machine shed with concrete floor built in 2018, a nice set of pens with concrete bunks and apron, and a pit silo. This eastern build site features rural water service and fiber internet and would make a nice location to build your dream home overlooking the Verdigris River Valley below.
