Douglas County
Rare timber Tract In Coveted Wooded Hills Region, 1 Hour To KC
xxx 1st rd, Lot #WP001 Overbrook, KS 66524
Description
If you are looking for an outstanding recreational property, and you like big timber, then you will not find a better option in the area. Smaller properties with this much timber do not come along often. This property is loaded from fence to fence, with rolling hills and deep draws covered in mature timber with a meandering rock bottom creek bed running right through the center. The property is located at the end of a dead-end road providing seclusion and has an extensive trail system running throughout the land. There are several cleared openings that could be used for either camping, ambush sites for hunting, bonfire parties, or simply a peaceful place to hang out and get away for the weekend. This farm has been in the same family for generations and current owners were known for their annual “Goat Roast Party” that was held there once a year since the mid 80’s and at times have had over 100 in attendance! This exceptional recreational property would be great for the hunter who has always dreamed of owning and chasing mature whitetails and turkey in a big timber property. It is bordered on both sides by crop ground, has mature trees for roosting birds, thick wooly cover for bedding, mast-producing trees such as white oak, red oak, walnut, and pawpaws to name a few, and has a creek and steep ridges providing numerous ambush sites. This property would also be ideal for a family looking for a peaceful and secluded place to get out of the city and commune with nature. It could also be an exceptional property for an ATV / dirt bike enthusiast looking for the hilly timber terrain to create their own private dream course. Properties like this are rare and it is truly a must-see to appreciate all it has to offer. An added bonus for the hunter enthusiast is that it is bordered by cropland and pasture on the west side that is in walk-in hunting so you currently have access to the neighboring property if you want to expand your hunting footprint. Trail cam pictures and hunting history will be updated soon. Located less than 20 min from Lawrence, and approx. 1 hr from greater KC, this property is a must-see and I do not expect it to last too long, for more information, or to schedule, your one on one showing, contact the listing agent soon.
