Located in Lincoln County, Kansas, approximately 3 miles east of Sylvan Grove, KS and 10 miles east of Wilson Lake Reservoir.

The result is an outstanding combination of natural wildlife habitat, agricultural income potential, and the opportunity to develop and manage a truly remarkable trophy whitetail hunting property. A Premier Saline River Whitetail Corridor The defining feature of this property is its extensive Saline River frontage. With more than a mile of river winding throughout the acreage, the property benefits from a natural travel corridor connecting mature timber, dense bedding cover, agricultural food sources, and secluded pockets of river bottom habitat. These features create the type of diverse landscape that makes central Kansas so highly regarded among serious whitetail deer hunters. Mature hardwood timber and thick river bottom vegetation provide security cover and natural movement corridors, while the surrounding agricultural fields offer additional food sources. Throughout the property, an abundance of rubs, scrapes, and other deer sign demonstrates consistent whitetail activity. The combination of water, cover, food, and terrain creates excellent opportunities for strategic stand placement, trail camera monitoring, and long-term habitat management. For the dedicated whitetail hunter, the appeal extends well beyond simply having deer on the property. The varied terrain and habitat provide opportunities to study deer movement, identify travel patterns, establish hunting locations for different wind directions, and manage the property with mature bucks in mind. Dramatic Elevation Changes and Exceptional Wildlife Habitat One of the property's most impressive characteristics is the transition from the fertile Saline River bottoms to the elevated native grasslands overlooking the surrounding landscape. Significant elevation changes create natural funnels, secluded draws, and diverse terrain features that can influence wildlife movement throughout the seasons. The upper portions of the property feature approximately 150 acres of native grassland and associated wildlife habitat, including approximately 44 acres enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP). These grasslands provide valuable bedding and nesting cover, while the CRP acreage offers an additional potential income stream and contributes to the property's overall habitat diversity. For a buyer interested in developing a high-quality whitetail management program, the combination of elevated grasslands, thick timber, river corridors, and agricultural ground offers considerable flexibility. Strategic habitat improvements, food plot development, and thoughtful hunting access could further enhance an already impressive recreational property. Productive River Bottom Farmland and Agricultural Income Complementing the outstanding recreational opportunities are approximately 85 acres of productive dryland farmland located along the lower river bottom portions of the property. Currently planted to wheat and milo, these agricultural acres add both income potential and an important food source for wildlife. The dryland acres are currently under a crop share agreement with a long standing and well established farm tenant. There are two separate CRP contracts with this tract. 38 acres are currently enrolled through 9/30/2036 for an annual income of $2,052.00, as well as an additional 4.3 acres enrolled through 9/30/2031 for an annual income of $302.00. The relationship between the cultivated ground and surrounding natural cover is particularly appealing from a hunting perspective. Agricultural fields positioned near mature timber, native grass, and river bottom bedding areas create natural feeding opportunities and travel routes for whitetail deer and other wildlife. For the land investor or recreational buyer, this combination offers an opportunity to enjoy a premier hunting property while maintaining agricultural production and potential CRP income. Outstanding Wildlife Diversity and Year-Round Recreation Although trophy whitetail hunting is the centerpiece of this property, the recreational opportunities extend well beyond deer season. The diverse landscape supports strong populations of wild turkey, ring-necked pheasant, and bobwhite quail, providing additional hunting opportunities throughout the year. The Saline River corridor and surrounding agricultural landscape also attract seasonal waterfowl activity, with ducks and geese frequently traveling through the area. Sandhill cranes are also observed flying over the property during seasonal migrations, adding to the remarkable wildlife diversity of this north-central Kansas location. The Saline River itself provides another dimension to the property. Flowing stretches and deeper pools can offer seasonal fishing opportunities for species such as channel catfish, carp, and other warmwater fish, depending on river flows and conditions. Whether exploring the riverbanks, enjoying the scenery, or spending time outdoors with family and friends, the river adds a unique recreational element that sets this property apart from traditional Kansas hunting land.

For the recreational land investor, it provides multiple land uses and potential income sources. And for the buyer seeking a legacy property, it represents an opportunity to own a remarkable stretch of rare Kansas river country that can be enjoyed and managed for generations. The region experiences a continental climate with warm summers, cold winters, and approximately 26-29 inches of annual precipitation. The Saline River corridor provides valuable water resources and wildlife habitat, while the area's productive agricultural land and native prairie support excellent farming, ranching, and recreational hunting opportunities.
