It's all too common for the phrase "turnkey" to be thrown around when describing average farms that have undergone minor improvements. However, that is definitely not the case with this property. Five years ago this farm was a complete disaster! But the current owner has meticulously cared for, invested in and improved every aspect of this farm.
To start with, all of the garbage, old cars, farm equipment, buildings and other debris have been cleaned up and hauled away. Brand new 5-strand perimeter fence has been installed along the north and 3/4 of the west property boundaries. Four internal paddocks have been created that each have their own Geo Star waterer and concrete pad. A new well and pump house was installed to service the livestock waterers and numerous hydrants on the property. New access roads have been built and existing roads improved. Multiple culvert and Missouri crossings have been established across the the creek system that runs throughout the farm. A new pond was constructed and stocked with crappie, hybrid bluegill and grass carp. The downed trees and limbs in the timber have been cleaned up and burned to help increase the number of grazing acres. The pasture has been sprayed and fertilized on an annual basis to maximize grass growth. 4" tile has been installed in the tillable acres. The list of improvements goes on and on!
Most of the improvements over the years have been focused on benefiting the livestock usage of the farm. However, the wildlife have also benefited from these changes. This part of Guthrie County has a very healthy population of wild turkey and is known for it's quality whitetails and high deer densities. The tillable acres are now producing high yields of corn and soybeans and the timber work has opened up the canopy in many places increasing the natural browse and forbes that are available. This property has been lightly hunted but is set up with multiple custom blinds in strategic locations. One of the blinds has retractable beds, heat & A/C, flat screen tv and a water hydrant just steps away! There are many ideal locations for wildlife food plots that would only increase the holding power of this dynamic farm.
This farm would suite a Cattleman looking for prime pasture to expand their operation, an investor whose looking for a recreational hunting property that provides a return or any combination of buyer in between.
