Western Chautauqua County has long been recognized for large acreage tracts, rolling native grass, and strong trophy whitetail genetics, and this 80± acre hunting and recreational property in Chautauqua County, Kansas brings those qualities together in a manageable and affordable-sized tract. Located just 3.25 miles from Highway 166 and a short drive from Cedar Vale and Sedan, this property offers a combination of productive ground, diverse habitat, and excellent access in an area well known for quality deer hunting.
The land features multiple elevation changes that create impressive long-range views across the surrounding countryside while naturally enhancing wildlife movement throughout the property. Approximately 38± acres were previously farmed and later transitioned into hay production, offering income potential or the opportunity to convert portions back into food plots, grazing, or additional agricultural use. The balance of the acreage consists of native grasses, mature timber, and timber-lined drainages that provide bedding cover, travel corridors, and year-round habitat for deer and other wildlife.
Two established ponds add both function and character to the property, supplying reliable water sources for wildlife and livestock, with terrain that suggests the potential for a third pond location if desired. Multiple wet-weather drainages wind through the tract and connect to larger neighboring grasslands, creating natural funnels that consistently concentrate deer movement. It’s easy to see why this area has a strong history of mature whitetail activity, with numerous ideal stand locations already evident along these travel routes.
Hunters will appreciate how the property lays out for both rifle and archery seasons. Elevated positions on each end and near the center of the farm provide excellent visibility and safe shooting opportunities regardless of wind direction, while allowing discreet access routes that help keep pressure off core bedding areas. Along the timbered drainage, several natural pinch points create ideal tree stand locations for archery hunting during the rut. A centrally located Redneck blind and 2,000-pound feeder will transfer with the property, offering a turnkey setup ready for the upcoming season. Recent trail camera history confirms the presence of trophy-caliber whitetails using the property regularly.
The acreage is fully perimeter fenced with multiple access points, making it suitable for grazing, recreational use, or future improvements. All mineral, wind, water, oil, and natural gas rights are intact and will transfer with no current production, adding long-term investment appeal. Whether you’re looking for a dedicated hunting property, a recreational retreat, or a versatile land investment with agricultural potential, this Western Chautauqua County tract checks the boxes for habitat, access, and usability.
Conveniently located just 6 miles from Cedar Vale, 15 miles from Sedan, 53 miles from Bartlesville, 75 miles from Wichita, and 95 miles from Tulsa, the property offers rural seclusion without sacrificing accessibility.
