Ask Jodi Cushenbery
Have you ever kicked yourself and wondered what you were doing or what you should have done? Let’s talk about what might be a once in a lifetime opportunity in Northern Elk County, KS. It is a wildlife paradise with a bonus Flint Hills virgin, native grass meadow thrown in. The Flint Hills native grass region is shrinking and this meadow has never been broken. These places are almost impossible to find. What an opportunity to invest in your future!
GOBBLE! GOBBLE!!! You can follow the abundance of turkeys down the road to their 143 acre home. There is approximately 45 acres of mature wooded, recreational land, mostly situated in the southeast corner of the property. You can walk, sit, watch and listen to the birds sing. You may want to throw a line in the small pond. It is a favorite drinking hole for the deer, coons, and any other wildlife that wander across this place they have made their habitat and now call home. There are two deer blinds that are ready for you to climb, wait and watch while the deer meander across approximately 98 acres of pristine Flint Hills native meadow. The meadow is predominantly Catoosa silty clay loam, class II soils. Whether putting up small squares or big bales with an average of 1 to 2 % land slope and not having to worry about rocks makes putting this native hay meadow up a dream, plus a little extra income. It is hard to beat good, pretty, native prairie hay to feed livestock.
Not only is this an outstanding recreational acreage, you could also build the homestead of your dreams. Utilities are nearby and accessible. You will have to decide where the house should be located. What kind of a house do you want to build? Barndominium, ranch style, hunting lodge may be just a few styles you run through your mind. There would be many decisions to make. Does a barn or shed need to be part of the plans? How about a garden? The native hay meadow is one big yard. There are endless possibilities available for you to decide how to take this opportunity, your slice of paradise to the next level.
Prime acreages like this are hard to find. Typically you do not have the opportunity to make it your own. You are within 10 miles of Howard, if you need to run to town for groceries, pick up something at the hardware store, get a good bite to eat, take in a school or community activity, etc. Don’t dawdle around too long or it will be gone. You don’t want to miss this once in a lifetime opportunity and be kicking yourself, saying would've, could’ve, should’ve bought that 143 acres in Elk County, KS when I had the opportunity. Invest in your future. Make it yours!
