*HYBRID AUCTION* PROPERTY: 150 +/- Acres in Sumner County, Kansas near South Haven AUCTION DATE: May 22nd, 2025 at 6 PM Central AUCTION LOCATION: 207 Main, South Haven, KS 67140 (South Haven Community Building) On behalf of the Darrel Creed Family Trust, we present a hunting and recreational land investment opportunity in the heart of big buck country! On the south side of Sumner County, this 150 +/- acre farm has diversity written all over it with tillable farm ground, hay pasture, cedar thickets, live water creek, mature timber, and great neighboring properties. What else could you ask for on a hunting farm? Oh, did I mention it comes with a barn and grain bins for storage?! The tillable farm ground provides a return on investment while the wildlife habitat creates excellent deer hunting! Access: With county road frontage on the north side and open farm ground on the west side, accessing this property on southerly and easterly winds is a breeze. The layout of the pasture vs timber gives the strategic bowhunter the ability to enter and exit the farm with wind direction in mind. The property sits on a gravel road with the nearest blacktop being just a mile and a half north or west. Take notice that this property lies in two sections of land without a through road. An on-ramp to the I-35 turnpike is less than 2.5 miles away giving the new owner the ability to access stores, restaurants, and bow shops in Wichita. If you need to grab fuel or a quick bite to eat then Wellington, Ark City, Caldwell, and Braman are all 15-20 minutes away. Income: With roughly 72 acres of land in crop production, the new owner can expect an annual return from cash rent or crop share. Soils are composed of highly productive Class 2 Elandco silt loam along the creek with Class 2 Bethany silt loam and Milan loam on the upland ground. Average NCCPI on the tillable ground is 68. The fields along the creek would make for excellent food plot locations as well. Just imagine those fields with lush, green alfalfa in the early fall! Wildlife: Meridian Creek winds through the northern and eastern parts of the farm with an established travel corridor for deer and areas of timber bedding cover. Two overgrown pasture pockets on the east side of the creek are loaded with redcedars and warm-season grasses creating thermal cover and making it a highly desirable bedding area in the fall and winter. A secondary drainage on the west side is currently being grazed. If allowed to rest, this area would mature into excellent early succession bedding and nesting cover for all wildlife. A series of two ponds are along this drainage adding a second water source away from the creek. The farm is absolutely loaded with rubs, scrapes, and deer trails that indicate a high deer density. Even on an April scouting trip, deer sign is easily visible and many shed antlers were spotted. Improvements: A solid, older barn sits on the north side of the property. This structure would make for a great storage area for UTV's, tractors, and hunting gear. Electricity is also present along the road if you wanted to build a hunting cabin. Four grain bins sit north of the barn adding further value to the improvements. *Please note: the mineral rights are owned by a separate party, Jayhawk Petro-Ventures, LLC, per the preliminary title work. This farm has all the necessary wildlife components including water, cover, and food but needs one thing…. a savvy deer hunter to chase those big whitetails! Please call or email the listing agent to set up your private showing of this property. Create your land legacy!
