Offering 145.8 acres immediately outside the city limits of Lindsborg, Tract 8 is truly one of the premier offerings in this auction. Combining productive Class II farmland, mature Smoky Hill River timber, a historic farmstead, quality improvements, and exceptional recreational opportunities, this legacy property offers a rare combination of agriculture, wildlife, and country living in an irreplaceable location. Approximately 92 acres are currently in productive cultivation, supported by outstanding Class II soils including approximately 62% Bridgeport Silt Loam, 15% Roxbury Silt Loam, and 15% McCook Fine Sandy Loam, all classified as rarely flooded. These highly regarded soils provide long-term agricultural productivity while generating reliable income potential for years to come. Bordering the scenic Smoky Hill River, approximately 43 acres of mature timber create an exceptional recreational corridor. Towering oak, black walnut, cottonwood, hedge, and other native hardwoods provide outstanding habitat for whitetail deer, turkey, and countless other wildlife species. Whether you're chasing a mature Kansas whitetail in the fall, calling spring gobblers, or simply enjoying the beauty of the river bottom, this property offers year-round outdoor recreation. The approximately 9.6 acres of Smoky Hill River frontage also provide opportunities for catfishing, waterfowl hunting, kayaking, and countless family memories along one of central Kansas' most treasured natural resources. At the heart of the property sits a historic farmstead with tremendous potential. The approximately 1900-square-foot, three-bedroom home, originally constructed in 1902, has been vacant for several years but remains structurally sound and offers an excellent opportunity for restoration into a charming country residence, hunting lodge, or weekend retreat. Buyers should note that the homesite and a majority of the property are located within the FEMA-designated floodplain. The current owners have maintained the property for agricultural and recreational use, and prospective buyers are encouraged to conduct their own due diligence regarding floodplain regulations, insurance requirements, and any future improvements they may be considering. Supporting the farmstead is an impressive 84' times 54' non-insulated Morton building, constructed in 1980, providing ample storage for equipment, recreational vehicles, or machinery. Two 15' times 29' grain bins with concrete floors add additional utility and agricultural value to the property. Located just outside Lindsborg, this premium tract offers the rare convenience of being only minutes from schools, shopping, restaurants, and local services while maintaining the privacy and tranquility of rural living. Few properties offer this combination of productive farmland, mature river timber, quality improvements, and immediate access to one of central Kansas' most desirable communities.
