In historic Kiowa County, Kansas, the “Ambush Ranch” along with “Hoodoo Springs” is offered available for purchase, established in 1884 this property has been passed down through generations of just one family and remains in its original acreage. It is no secret in the whitetail world that south-central Kansas is a world-class destination for big deer, it is very well known. Information that is not always well known is where the biggest and best-producing farms and ranches are located, what they consist of, and what makes them best. Well here is a perfect example of the best of the best in Kansas. The “Ambush Ranch” is a sportsman’s oasis centered in an area that is considered by many to be the best Boone and Crockett area in the country. An unparalleled 3,520 solid acre contiguous block of big deer, turkey, waterfowl, and quail heaven that will appeal to the most discreet buyers, investors, and serious sportsman in the country. The habitat and history that is found within the hills and timber of the “Ambush Ranch” go back generations with folklore of a civil war stagecoach robbery where a military payroll treasure was stolen, hence the name “Ambush Ranch”. Artifacts, that are believed related to this heist back in the late 1880’s, have been found on the property in years past. Also where the bunk house sits today on the ranch is directly built on top of what was once the foundation of a hidden shack for the famous “Hoodoo Brown”, a bank robber in the late 1800’s and leader of the “Dodge City Gang”, whom was rumored to use this ranch as his hideout once he fled southern Missouri. It is a rare and special feature in this traditionally arid climate area to have a plethora of natural springs, even more rare is to have these historic springs known as “Hoodoo Springs”, and have them all encompassed within one ranch. The property generates a substantial income from its outstanding grazing and oil and gas income. Located in a very popular area for recent mineral development in horizontal drilling, the property has been previously leased for exploration purposes. There are several vertical producing wells on the property currently. The grazing on the ranch will always be in high demand to cattle ranchers if the income is so desired as the access and grass are all in great condition. Numerous water sources for wildlife and cattle including several watershed ponds and springs throughout the ranch including the lush “Hoodoo Springs” that traverse the west side of the property. A multitude of options are also available for enhancements to the ranch in the way of food plots with great locations being plentiful. This is an example of the best of the best, it is a place where the serious sportsman makes a generational endeavor, it is a place where you can unearth history, it is a place where dreams will come true, and it is a place where watching a picturesque Kansas sunset will capture feelings like no other place on earth. Please contact agent for additional information, and please note SHOWN BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.
