Land Auction – 158.4 Acres – Reno County, KS

Live & Online Auction | Tuesday, September 9th at 6:00 PM
Auction Location: Pleasantview Activity Center
5015 S Dean Rd, Hutchinson, KS 67501

This 158.4-acre tract presents a unique opportunity to purchase quality Kansas farmland with a mix of expired CRP, improved pasture, and strong underlying soils. The property is located just 6 miles west of Arlington, at the northwest corner of Arlington Rd and Lerado Rd, with blacktop frontage that provides excellent year-round access for equipment or livestock. The land is made up of mostly Class II soils, offering productivity and flexibility for a variety of uses—from hay and row crop production to grazing or potential development.

Roughly 50 acres were previously enrolled in CRP, now expired, and the balance is currently established in crabgrass, serving as summer pasture for cattle. A solar-powered well supplies water, and the property is cross-fenced with hot barbed wire, providing functional rotational grazing (fencing will be removed unless negotiated separately with the current tenant). The land is gently rolling, with open views, and includes a scenic cluster of mature trees in the southeast corner—an ideal setting for a rural build site or homesite.

The property is currently leased for grazing; however, the lease will expire prior to auction, giving the new owner full possession at closing—whether for continued livestock use, conversion back to row crops, or personal development.
