Ask Matt Wonser
Tucked into the big country of northeast Elk County, right in the triangle between Severy, Howard, and Fall River, this 80-acre tract sits in an area that continues to gain attention from hunters, investors, and outdoorsmen looking for a foothold near some of the most sought-after recreational ground in Kansas. The property is just a short drive from Flint Oak, the nationally recognized private hunting resort known for its premier wingshooting, whitetail hunting, and luxury outdoor experience. Flint Oak has built a strong following with members from Wichita and across the region, and it is no secret that many of those buyers look to own additional acreage nearby for hunting, recreation, and long-term investment.
This farm has the kind of layout serious whitetail hunters recognize immediately. Wet-weather creek corridors cut through the property and naturally funnel deer movement from east to west and back again between larger neighboring blocks of timber. It is an obvious connecting farm during the rut, and the existing deer feeders and tree stands tell the story of how this place has already been hunted. While taking pictures on the property, turkeys were gobbling on the neighboring farm, which says plenty about the habitat and surrounding area.
An added bonus for buyers is the existing seasonal grazing lease during the summer months, providing solid supplemental income while helping maintain the property's agricultural use status. For non-resident buyers, the acreage size is another major advantage, as 80 acres qualifies a landowner for a Kansas non-resident deer permit opportunity.
The road frontage is another strong feature here. The property offers a full half mile of frontage along Road 24, a minimally traveled road running through a large section with very little disturbance. Electric already runs along Road 24, and rural water is located roughly a quarter mile south on Native Road, giving a buyer multiple options for a future cabin, lodge site, or country home.
The fencing is in strong shape overall. The west half mile and north quarter mile feature basically new fence, while the east half mile and south quarter mile have functional fence already in place.
This is the type of smaller recreational tract that is getting increasingly difficult to find in this part of Kansas - a huntable and income-producing property with nearby utilities, proven wildlife movement, strong habitat surrounding it, and growing demand driven by the area's reputation for premium hunting and outdoor recreation.
