00000 Lyon Rd Lot: AHLC 174, Chanute, KS 66720

Big Creek Ranch and Hunt

Located in a prime location in Southeast Kansas is this 174 +/- acre tract that offers fantastic hunting, recreation, income, and building opportunities. This diverse property is located just a few miles east of Chanute and has over 1/2 of a mile stretch of Big Creek flowing along the eastern property line providing endless fishing, hunting, and recreation opportunities. As you enter the property off the blacktop road through the main gate, you'll find a beautiful functioning barnyard setting with electricity and a water meter already in place. There is a large pole barn for parking equipment and stacking hay safe from the weather. There are separating pens with strong fencing, a corral, and a squeeze chute for working livestock. Traversing through the diverse terrain, you will find two nice-sized stocked ponds, lush grass, natives, and a variety of soft and hardwoods creating a fantastic combo of thick brush/cover, open pockets of grass, water, forage, and timber. Fully fenced and cross-fenced, this tract is ready for livestock with the two main paddocks being 83 and 90 acres in size. In addition, the owners have left 56 acres completely fenced off from cattle along the ridgetop and creek bottom to create a wildlife sanctuary. This fenced-off portion is the perfect combo of bedding cover, open pockets for food plots, pinch points, and rolling topography covered with towering oaks, walnuts, and hickory. The habitat on this tract paired with the adjoining properties makes this one truly special with a lot of potential to add more cover and food. There is a portion in the SW corner that was previously terraced, farmed, and then enrolled in CRP (now expired) that could be converted back into tillable production for some added income and food sources for wildlife. As it sits now, this portion offers a dense patch of native grasses and shrubs with a nice draw down through the center creating more hunting opportunities with many ideal locations for stands or blinds. In addition to the great hunting, Big Creek is a sizable creek that offers good fishing and there are many access points along the creek to make it easy to get to the water's edge with a fishing pole, kayak, or jon boat. This tract is located in an area of Neosho County well-known for giant whitetails and great turkey numbers, and this one has been strictly managed by the owners for over 25 years with great success. Big Creek Ranch is located 5 +/- miles east of Chanute, Kansas off highway 39, providing close access to small-town charm and any amenities you may need. Don't miss this opportunity to hunt, fish, farm, or build all in one spot. All showings are by appointment only.
