1,260 Acres in Elk County, Longton, Kansas

Boasting 1260 acres in the heart of some of the most scenic and awe inspiring topography in Kansas, this ranch has everything the southeast Kansas sportsman could hope to have on one contiguous piece of property. From the top of the vistas on this ranch, you can look out for miles, or you can focus your sights closer on the deep wooded draws, tillable farmland, running water of the Elk River and all the wildlife that make their home here. Land Starting on the northern most end of this wonderful property, the 1.15 miles of Elk River frontage and Clear Creek both wind through the lowlands, tillable farmland and wildlife food plots. The river beds are surrounded by old, massive cottonwoods, sycamores, elm and osage orange trees and if they could talk, they would tell stories of Native Americans and other hard working individuals who have made their way on this parcel for generations. The tillable farmland has, in years past been planted to wheat, dryland corn and milo. The food plots have also been planted in a variety of vegetative options including wheat, alfalfa and mixed clover. As you move south, there are large areas of dense timber that surround open parks of grasses and more food plots. The beat down paths created by years upon years of famed Kansas whitetail deer are highlighted by cedar trees that have been rubbed raw by the large bucks that make their home here. There is also an extensive ATV trail system in place that makes traversing the property easy and provides access to many areas from multiple directions.

The hills reach upward as the sides of the hollowed out valleys below show eons of rock layers on their sides, while huge trees stretch from the bottom of the valley floors to show their canopies at eye level. From the top of these hills, as you gaze over the landscape, you will see pockets of dense timber and areas of open native grasses. With a good set of binoculars, you could sit on a high point and enjoy the scenery and wildlife near and far for hours. There are five ponds on the property to keep the animals well watered throughout the year. The ponds, creeks and rivers all provide fishing opportunities and there are a number of areas that could be explored as possible wetlands to be added for additional diversity. A wetlands build project could also be considered adjacent to the tillable acreage to include some flooded timber. The southern end of the property also has natural springs that weep into basins that have formed in the rocks, creating vehicle sized pools.
