Chautauqua County, KS - Ranch

Chautauqua County, KS - Ranch Water is Life! Without water what do you have? Have you ever had livestock water be a concern? When you own the 218.9 acre Chautauqua County property located at 373 3055 Lane, Niotaze, KS you can take that worry off of your mind. Fifty years ago, in 1974, the landowner purchased and moved to this property. During the droughts over the past 50 years water for livestock has never been a concern. With seven ponds, an additional two ponds shared with the neighboring properties and Birch Creek going through the property there has always been water for livestock. Also, there is a pump house located below a pond, with an approximate 10,000 gallon storage tank that collects water and filters sediments. After the water is collected, it is piped into two other tanks and filtered before the water is distributed by 2 - gravity fed systems and supplies water to additional pastures. The water system on this ranch makes it an unique property with water available to all 10 fenced pastures. Originally this was a cattle ranch. Cattle and horses are still a part of this ranch but over the past few years a 4 x 4 goat fence has been built for the perimeter and cross fences. The fencing converted the ranch into having the option of running a small ruminant operation. Currently, goats and sheep are a vital part of this operation. The cross fences and water available in the 10 pastures provides the luxury of rotational grazing for all species of livestock. If you like to fish, hunt deer, turkey, waterfowl, etc this property gives you that option as well. There are plenty of ponds to fish and it is common to see waterfowl. The elevation change on the south 30+/- acres of this property and the timber consisting of pecan, oak and other native hardwoods is where the deer and turkey find refuge. This property also has two rural water meters supplying water to the houses.
