00000 Deep Creek Rd. , Manhattan, KS 66502(Riley County)

The 421 +/- acres breakdown into native Bluestem grazing pasture, 24 acres of expired CRP, and 14 acres of clean hay meadows. The grazing pasture has grown wooly pocketed areas throughout, providing prime coverage for wildlife. With the incredible elevation changes throughout, the landscape features deep draws lined with heavy, mature hardwoods. Massive burr oaks, black walnuts, hickory, cedars, and sycamores blanket the draws and hillsides. Deep Creek runs throughout the south side of the property with a northern tributary providing crystal clear, year-round running spring water. Several deep pool spots along the way provide perfect fishing holes or a place for a summer swim. Each time I drove through this property, I came across a new flowing spring. Even in these current dry conditions, water would never be an issue here! The expired CRP would make a perfect tillable row crop location, providing a location for year-round food sources to wildlife. The layout of the property also allow for prime stand locations for bow and rifle hunting.

From the first day on the farm to the last outing, there was wildlife galore. Several does bedded down on the west end of the CRP with another group hunkered down by the spring-fed pond, were bumped out. Then hearing the never ending chirps from the quail and seeing the turkey tracks in the mud alongside of the creek lets you know how alive the farm is. Over the history of the farm, limited hunting has been allowed on the property, allowing incredible genetics in the area to keep moving forward. Pair that with the seclusion and next to zero hunting pressure, and you will be able to grow, hold, and harvest world class whitetails.

With an ideal location 9 miles south of Manhattan, along Deep Creek Road just off of I-70, this honey hole holds the canvas for a perfect build location. Utilities are run along the road frontage for great accessibility. Sunrises and sunsets don't get any better than here. All mineral rights are intact and transfer to the buyer. With all this farm has in store, this once is a lifetime property is one to tour in person!
