If you are looking for a multi-use property with an outstanding water feature, and you love the beauty and peacefulness of the Flint Hills, then this is the property for you. Located a few minutes southeast of Council Grove, and 33 minutes northwest of Emporia, this outstanding quarter section with excellent hunting also features a very large private lake. The 12-acre Watershed lake was built in 2011 by the core of engineers and is not visible from the road. Adding a level of privacy and seclusion that is hard to come by. The Watershed Board is responsible for the Damn upkeep making it maintenance free for the new owner, ensuring this lake will last for generations to come. The lake was stocked with the Ks. Dept wildlife’s recommended rate of minnows, bluegill, Red ear Bluegill, largemouth bass, channel cat, and Crappie. There is also a smaller pond in the west pasture that feeds down to the main lake and it has been stocked with minnows to allow for intermittent replenishing of baitfish. There is a small overflow pond on the south side of the dam that has fish in it as well. The lake is also absolutely loaded with ducks and geese in the fall and winter making this an amazing spot for the waterfowl hunting enthusiast. The property also has a 27-acre m/l brome/hayfield that is terraced and could be broken out and put into row crops if desired. The lake and the creek are in a Conservation Easement and are fenced to keep out cattle. This area is an excellent wildlife habitat and would provide great deer and turkey hunting opportunities as well. While being out there, I have also seen several coveys of quail in the draws and fence lines adding additional hunting opportunities. The aerial on this property does not do it justice, the land in the conservation easement is thick and wooly with brush, tall grass, and cover and it looks to be excellent big game hunting habitat. All of this combined makes this an all-around slam dunk of a property. For more information, or to schedule a private showing, contact Billy OConnor today.
