DESCRIPTION
Situated in the heart of the Smoky Hills region of Kansas, The Plinsky Ranch comes to market offering the next owner a piece of history, an unbelievable revenue stream, and a sustainable cattle and farming operation. The Plinsky Ranch was originally settled in 1879, just south of the main ranch, in Ellsworth County. Its this quarter section that started it all. Fast forward 4 generations and the ranch has grown to just over 4800 acres, with most of these acres being contiguous in Lincoln County. When the family migrated north of the homestead, they settled in on the West branch of Elkhorn Creek, the current location of ranch headquarters.
Imagine a setting of nearly 5 miles of creek, the valley swelling to nearly a mile wide in places, the quaint valley setting being isolated by the dramatic elevation changes of the Smoky Hills to the east and west. As time has passed, these fertile creek bottom soils have provided for the family not only with countless bountiful crops, but also abundant wildlife. This vast, hardwood lined, creek setting boasts trophy deer and turkey, with quality genetics. The wildlife migrate daily from their elevated positions in the contiguous pastures to the lush green fields along the creek.
As with any viable settlement, there is a demand for a clean, reliable, water source. Through the current generations foresight, the ranch developed 8 wells to provide over 12 miles of water infrastructure. Strategically placed water tanks across the 3500 plus acres of pasture, provide clean water for livestock and wildlife. With 27 fresh water sources and 18 ponds throughout the ranch, cattle and wildlife thrive to their true potential.
