Description
On behalf of the Sprecker Family, we proudly present a fine representation of native grassland excellence! Pride of ownership is very apparent and high-level grass stewardship is quickly obvious when evaluating this pasture located in southern Osage County, just north of Melvern Lake. ----- This property is being offered via online auction that will begin at Noon on May 5th and will begin closing at Noon on May 7th, 2026. This tract totals 160 acres more or less and as indicated above, is a tremendous example of resilient native pasture featuring a robust plant community including the "Big 4" native grass varieties of Big and Little Bluestem, Indiangrass and Switch Grass. There's also a good compliment of productive forbs throughout with a lack of weed presence, making this a highly productive grass tract. When the tame grasses falter in the heat of summer, this is the type that will keep adding lbs on your cattle and has an excellent water supply as well. The water is provided by a large pond with a convenient location near the center of the property, making this an excellent prospect for the addition of interior fencing to incorporate a rotational grazing plan if so desired. This pond weathered well during the droughts of 2011 and 2012, holding usable water during the entirety. ----- Fences on this tract are barbed wire rated from adequate to excellent. The north fence is five strand rated very good to excellent. The south fence is four strand rated good. The west fence is four strand rated good and the east fence is 4 and 5 strand rated very good to new depending on the section. The neighbor on the east just replaced his half of the fence with new 5 strand. The south half of the east fence had five new wires put on this past winter and added new wood line posts every fifth post. ----- The location of the property is excellent as it's only two miles to the entrance of Eisenhower State Park at Melvern Lake and it's only 13 miles to access the I-35 corridor at BETO Junction. Approximate mileages to area towns are 7 miles to Lyndon, 40 miles to Topeka and 70 miles to the KC metro. ----- Regarding utilities, there's electric lines located across the road from the southwest corner of the property and to the neighboring houses to the north and east. Rural water would be nearest to the east boundary but a line extension would be necessary as well as an engineering study regarding capacity. For any questions you have regarding rural water availability and costs, please Contact Osage County Rural Water District #7. ----- For further information regarding this auction or to set up a tour, please contact us. This is an excellent opportunity to add quality to your land holdings. Don't let it pass by! ----- This property is being offered via online auction that will begin at Noon on May 5th and will begin closing at Noon on May 7th, 2026. ----- Melvern Lake is a large reservoir just west of Melvern, Kansas, covering about 7,000 acres of water with another 18,000 acres of public land around it. It sits in the iconic Flint Hills, so the setting is more open prairie and rolling hills than heavily developed shoreline. The lake is managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and is set up mainly for recreation and wildlife use. There are multiple parks and campgrounds around the lake with boat ramps, beaches, and basic facilities. Boating is a big draw because the lake has long stretches of open water that aren't usually crowded. Fishing is also a major reason people go, with common catches including crappie, bass, catfish, and walleye. The surrounding land includes trails and wildlife areas, so you can hike, hunt, or just explore without leaving the area! ----- Brief Legal Description: The Southwest 1/4 of Section 21, Township 17 South, Range 15 East of the 6th P.M., Osage County, Kansas. 160 acres, more or less. ----- Property Tax Estimate:$590.62

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is perfect for you if you are looking to move to a sweet small town. No matter what, I don’t think a lot of student are ever excited to go to school and learn, but the teachers are always prepared and open to help you grow academically. It is a small community with people that always support each other and have each others back. Aside from academics, the sports teams have amazing coaches that kids benefit from and students always make amazing memories with their team.Student Review1y ago
