AUCTION CANCELLED, PRE-AUCTION OFFER ACCEPTED PROPERTY: 74 +/- Acres on the Ninnescah River w/ Home and Garage AUCTION DATE: CANCELLED The Ninnescah Gem, you won’t find another like it! Opportunities to purchase a farm on this esteemed river rarely come along. Sitting on 74 ± acres in northern Sumner County, this property has the kind of habitat that provides world-class Kansas whitetail and turkey hunting. With the Ninnescah River winding through the property, you get mature timber, natural travel corridors, water, and seclusion, all wrapped up with a comfortable home and improvements. This incredible farm has been a labor of love for nearly 40 years. The owner has taken a lot of joy in building and maintaining this property for decades! The Ninnescah River & Recreation: With half a mile of Ninnescah River frontage, the river is more than just a boundary line, it’s the lifeblood of this farm. The river provides year-round water for wildlife, fertile soils for crops or food plots, and sandbar recreation for the family. From catching flathead catfish in the summer, to kayaking and camping on the sandbars, the river extends the usability of this property well beyond hunting season. Deer hunters know that river bottom habitat is the backbone of Kansas deer hunting. This type of farm is a natural funnel that pulls wildlife in and keeps them moving through the timber up and down the river. Big Timber & Wildlife Habitat: This tract boasts stretches of heavy timber along the Ninnescah! Mature hardwoods mixed with thick bedding cover create a sanctuary for wildlife. The deep timber pockets and secluded river bends give whitetails a sense of security, and the farm sets up beautifully for both bow and rifle hunters. There are natural pinch points along the river that would make dynamite stand locations. The combination of cover, water, and surrounding ag fields ensures deer spend time on this farm all year long. Deer, Turkey, and Waterfowl Hunting: The funnel this property creates is undeniable! With large blocks of timber to the east and west, the timber necks down on this tract which pinches the deer movement into a very huntable area. This neighborhood has long been known for producing big deer, and with neighboring crop ground providing destination food sources, this property sits right in the mix. Included in the sale is a deluxe, elevated blind known as the “Deer Hut”. This elevated blind sits on the western side of the farm overlooking a tucked-in crop field right next to a big bedding area. In spring, turkeys flock to the timber roosts along the river, making it an excellent place to chase longbeards at daylight. The mix of mature trees, open crop ground, and lots of edges creates ideal strutting zones and calling setups. If you enjoy hunting ducks and geese, the river provides excellent waterfowl hunting in the winter when nearby lakes and ponds freeze up. The Home & Improvements: The 2,128 square foot Solitaire modular home, built in 1997, provides 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, making it suitable as either a permanent residence or a hunting lodge. The master set up is very nice with a walk-through closet, large bathroom, double sinks, walk-in shower and bathtub. A detached garage/shop gives you space for vehicles, tractors, UTVs, or hunting gear. With well water, septic, and utilities in place, the property is ready for immediate occupancy. Access & Location: Good county road access makes it easy to get to the farm, but once you’re there, the river and timber create seclusion that feels miles away from the world. With Wellington, Derby, and Wichita all in close proximity, grocery stores, healthcare, and retail shops are not far away. This is a true gem of a property. Hunt trophy whitetails and turkeys, fish and camp on the Ninnescah, or simply enjoy the peace of owning riverfront timber. Properties with this combination of big timber, river frontage, and a home are hard to come by anywhere in the state!
