E S | JEWELL C O ., KANSA S TROPHY RECREATIONAL PROPERTY
Located in the soil-rich region of north central Kansas, this 1,553.6 plus or minus acre contiguous property offers a large, well-managed block of recreational and hunting land with a long history of wildlife habitat development. The property has been managed for more than 20 years with a focus on habitat diversity, forage availability, and age structure for whitetail deer, along with strong populations of other upland and game species.
The landscape consists of a balanced mix of rolling wooded hills, secluded native grass valleys, and open areas dedicated to food production. This diversity creates natural travel corridors, bedding cover, and feeding areas throughout the property. Approximately 60 acres are established in food plots, primarily maintained for wildlife use.
A year-round supplemental feeding program has been implemented using eleven total feeders, including six one-ton units and five two-ton units. Feeding locations are strategically placed across the property to distribute wildlife movement and reduce pressure in any single area. Several permanently placed box stands are positioned overlooking food sources and travel routes to provide consistent access for hunting operations.
The property has documented harvest history that reflects long-term management efforts, with multiple mature whitetail deer taken over the past 20 years. The size and layout of the tract allow for controlled access, multiple hunting setups, and the ability to manage pressure across different areas of the ranch.
In addition to whitetail deer, the property supports strong turkey numbers, with large flocks commonly observed. The surrounding region is also known for quail and pheasant populations. Lovewell Reservoir attracts large numbers of migrating waterfowl and snow geese each fall and offers fishing opportunities for species such as walleye, adding recreational value beyond hunting.
Improvements include a newly built cabin situated on an elevated ridge overlooking Lovewell Reservoir. Built in 2023, it has three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, 1,920 sq ft of living space, and an open layout. The cabin is primarily used as a place to stay while hunting, but it would make a great permanent home as well. Next to the cabin, sits a smaller portable home that was built in 2005 that offers one bedroom and one bathroom and provides extra space for guests.
A newer, large metal building is located near the home and provides ample space for equipment storage, hunting gear, and property maintenance tools. This structure supports efficient management of the land and reduces the need for off-site storage.
With its size, contiguous layout, established habitat work, and existing infrastructure, this property offers multiple recreational opportunities to buyers. Properties of this scale and management history are increasingly difficult to find in this region of Kansas.
