For Sale

Posted on by

Up for sale is a 160 acres of land. It’s broken out as 91.8 acres of wheat base farm ground according to the FSA, it has approximately 50 acres of brome grass pasture, and the remaining 18 or so acres in wooded wildlife areas. We have a diverse population of wildlife roaming on the land, ranging from deer to quail. There is a small pasture pond that has never gone dry in the years that we have owned it. Just below that pond is a small beaver made water pond that is spring fed, which also has never gone dry. There have not been cattle ran on the ground in seven years, the pasture is in great shape. It has good fence on the east, north, and west sides. The south fence between the pasture and the crop land was cut before we purchased it, when they were cutting new terraces into the crop land, so the fence between them will need work.

I’ve added a number of posts with pics and as many details about the land that I could think of, if you have any other questions or would like details about something, please email me at tim_schulte@sbcglobal.net or call and I will do my best to get you answered. Thanks for taking a look.

We are asking $280,000 for the quarter section OBO.

I am not a broker or a real-estate agent, I happen to own this domain name that’s why I posted here :) I am the owner of this property!

Fence

Posted on by

Had an email about the shape that the fence is in. I snapped these pics before the sun set last night. Basically the pasture area has good fence on the east road. The north side shares a fence with a neighbour that runs cattle, so the fence is kept up. Same neighbour on the west side of the pasture, so that fence is in good shape. Before we purchased the property they had the crop land re terraced, and the south side of the pasture shares a fence with the crop land. When they did the work on the terraces, they cut the fence in the areas where the terraces drop water into the pasture, so those areas would need repaired or replaced.

Water Supply

Posted on by

I had someone email and ask about the current state of water in the pasture area. I took these pics last night, the pond is down but still has quite a bit of water. The last 3 pics are of the cement cistern below the pond, it needs the cat tails cleaned away but plenty of water there from the spring. We haven’t had either of these two areas go dry since we’ve owned the property.

 

Big Game

I never seem to get my camera out fast enough when the deer are around, caught these 3 out in the field.

The second to last image I took last night, its a mud track near the gates. I put the quarter there for size reference since I didn’t have a tape measure with me :)

Update Feb 10th: last pic is a snap of a deer heading out of the wooded area on the east side of the property today.

 

Spring Fed Pond

Posted on by

Here are pics of both winter and spring of the pond that’s on the north west side of the pasture area if you look at the aerial you should be able to make out where it is.

You can’t see it in the pics, but there is a concrete cistern in the cat tails that would be perfect to put a pump and get the water for a cattle water tank, that way you don’t have to let the cattle tear up the pond.
