About this land

Located north of Miller, KS in Northern Lyon County, this beautiful tract totals 80 acres more or less and possesses appealing attributes for the beef producer, the hunter or as a potential future building site. It also has a great location less than two miles from the pavement of Highway 56 that runs between Osage City and Allen. In addition, it's less than 4 miles to the Kansas turnpike with convenient access north to Topeka or south to Emporia. This tract is composed of resilient and high-quality Native grass grazing pasture surrounded by adequate fencing, a heavily timbered draw near the west boundary, a sizable pond and in the southern half, a convenient catchpen at the northeast corner and electric service running along the north boundary. For the beef producer, you'll appreciate the robust Native grass varieties throughout the parcel which are highlighted by the "Big 3" of the "Big 4". The predominant species are Big Bluestem, Indiangrass and Switchgrass which are the main 3 you want. These are the types that typically thrive through the summer months while tame grass varieties fade from productive value. There's a large pond for supply of livestock water located in the central portion of the southern 1/2 of the property and a well-constructed pipe catchpen is strategically located at the north boundary just off the County road, providing for ease of loadout. There is recreational appeal here as well for both the angler and the deer hunter. The pond has weathered the recent period of hot weather with lack of rainfall very well and still has substantial water remaining. The timbered draw flanking it to the west shows significant deer sign and this tract has excellent upside with the addition of protein feeders. This property should make for a tremendous escape for the family and provide for years of great memories made. There are multiple beautiful potential areas to build a future home on this property due to a scenic and rolling topography. While there is not currently rural water service available to the property, there is electric service running adjacent to the north boundary. Future availability of rural water would have to be researched and Buyers should use due diligence in doing so. There are homes on rural water just to the east but our understanding is that there is not current capacity to add another meter at this time. For further information on obtaining rural water, please contact Osage County Rural Water District #7. If 80 acres is more than you are shopping for, you are in luck here as we are also offering this property in two separate 40+/- acre tracts with a north half and a south half. The per acre price on the 40+/- acre tracts is $5,000 per acre. Please contact the Broker for further information or to set up a tour.

Questions to ask before you buy

Questions worth investigating for any waterfront property. They are not claims that this property has a problem or meets any condition.

1. Who owns the shoreline and the land under the water, and are there easements or public-access rights along it?Ownership can stop at a high-water line, a survey line or a seawall. A title search and survey answer this, not the listing.
2. Is a dock, slip, lift or mooring included, and do the rights transfer to you?Docks can be shared, leased, assigned by an association or held under a permit that does not automatically transfer.
3. What permits exist for the dock, seawall or other shoreline structures, and what would new work require?Shoreline work is often regulated by local, state and federal agencies.
4. How much does the water level change by season, by tide or by reservoir management?Depth at a dock in one season can differ a lot in another.
5. What does flood insurance cost for this property, and what does the current flood map show?Get a quote from an insurer or agent. A flood zone is not a premium, and no zone does not mean no risk.
6. What maintenance does the shoreline need (seawall, bulkhead, riprap, erosion), and what has been done recently?Shoreline structures are expensive to repair; ask for records and inspection reports.
7. How are water, sewer or septic, and power provided?Waterfront septic systems and wells can have extra rules and inspections.
8. How do you reach the property by road year-round, and who maintains that road?Some waterfront roads are private, seasonal or shared.
9. What local rules apply: rentals, docks, boat lifts, fences, tree removal, setbacks?Rules come from the town, county, state, lake authority or association and vary widely.
