16788 Dragoon Creek Rd Tract 4 We are honored to represent the James M. Warren Trust with the auction of 1, 300 +/- acres of Wabaunsee County excellence that is being offered in 11 tracts or combinations thereof. Situated near the eastern edge of the iconic Flint Hills eco-region, these properties each possess unique and inherent attributes that will appeal to diverse buyer types, whether you're a beef producer, farmer, hunter, investor or are ready to build your forever home. These tracts are all located east and south of Eskridge, Kansas which is a beautiful rural area far away from the noise of the city but close enough to access the amenities of larger locales if needed. Topeka is approximately 25 miles to the northeast, Emporia is 35 miles south and the great town of Manhattan is approximately 44 miles to the northwest. These parcels have all been in the same family for decades and have an excellent reputation for both production and recreational characteristics. For the livestock producer, the pasture tracts are all reputable parcels with many having substantial natural springs, water wells and ponds for water sources. There's good options here for the grain producer as well in this auction and there's multiple first-class choices here for the deer and waterfowl hunters. The page is is turning to the next chapter and opportunity is knocking to add quality to your operation or portfolio. For those who would need an agricultural tenant, there is a long-time tenant who would be interested in continuing to lease the properties if possible. This Hybrid auction will take place on February 11th at 6:00 P.M. at Champions Landing in Emporia with a physical address of 1801 Rural Street. The auction will feature both a live auction as well as an online option to bid for those who cannot attend in person. For those bidding online, you can pre-register by clicking the green "Register To Bid" box within the listing on our website. To finalize registration to bid online, you will need to email proof of funds if you are not financing or a bank approval letter if you are getting a loan. Tract 4 totals 160 acres more or less and possesses attributes that will be attractive to both the beef producer and the recreational buyer. For the beef producer, this property has water in spades, a quality set of catch pens in the north-central region that can be accessed from both the west and north bordering roads, Native grass pasture and good hay meadow. There's also plenty of timber in the draw that bisects the property on the east side and a pocket of heavy timber in the northwest corner that, when combined with the natural elevation changes, provide some comfortable wind protection for those calving cows or backgrounded stockers. For water supply, there's two ponds located near the center of the tract and one near the southern boundary. In addition, there are two wet-weather creeks that meander across the tract on both the east and west halves. The recreational buyer won't want to overlook this parcel as there's a substantial whitetail population residing here as well as multiple ponds to choose from for the Anglers out there. If you traverse along the heavily wooded draw that runs the entire length of the parcel, you'll find a large amount of rub and scrape activity. Again, this is a great prospect for both the recreational buyer and the beef producer. Please contact us for more details or to set up a tour.
