On behalf of the Fleming Family, we proudly present this rare and fine recreational jewel located in Jefferson County, Kansas located between Lawrence and Oskaloosa. This beautiful offering possesses inherent attributes throughout the property and added improvements near the northeast corner that don't compromise the serenity and natural appeal of the balance of the parcel. This property is being offered via online auction that will start at Noon on October 16th and will begin closing at Noon on October 18th.This auction will feature a dynamic closing which means any bids placed in the last 5 minutes will extend the auction for another 5 minutes.    Located in East-central Jefferson County, not too far from paved roads, yet a world away from the hustle and bustle of Topeka and Lawrence, this gorgeous tract totals 260 acres more or less and is a tranquil oasis situated on a quiet, winding country road. The property boasts an appealing rolling topography, heavy hardwood timber, four ponds, grass meadows and the residence in the northeast quadrant.    The home features 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, encompassing 1,918 square feet of living area on the main floor with a full unfinished basement as well. The home was constructed in 1972, a time of pride in craftsmanship, when homes were constructed to last. While the home is dated, it's awaiting the next chapter, allowing you to update with your touches as you desire. Whether it be a forever home or a weekend retreat for the new owners, options abound! We especially like the location of the residence on the property as any activity around the home, shouldn't interfere with the hunter who is quietly pursuing the resident whitetails and turkeys on the majority of the parcel.    While the improvements on the property are a bonus, let's not lose sight of the fact that recreation for hunter and fisherman is the highest and best use. Located in the enviable and legendary Kansas Deer Management Unit #10, this is a tract with a huge resident wildlife population already but also has extreme upside with the addition of foodplots, feeders and allowing for the maturing and growth of already-planted bedding cover. The sellers are not hunters so they haven't been managing the property for trophy deer but it shouldn't take much to grow, magnetize and hold them on this tract with foodplots.Due to there only being one named road bordering the property, the privacy for both humans and wildlife is exceptional. You won't have to worry much about prying eyes watching the deer and turkeys within the interior of the property and the line of sight from the road is severely restricted due to the heavily rolling terrain.    For those wanting some return on investment, there has been a long- time grazing tenant on the property who would desire to keep renting it if the new owner has any interest in continuing this. A lease arrangement could possibly be worked out so that it wouldn't interfere with the months during hunting season. The pastured portion of the property are mostly tame grass with a significant population of brome and fescue while there's also a lesser presence of warm-season native grasses.
