Tri-County Ranch

Farm Description

The Tri-County Ranch, located south of Beeler, Kansas, is a 1,970 +/- acre property ideal for expanding farming or grazing operations. Spanning Ness, Lane, and Finney counties, the ranch features 320 +/- acres of dry land tillable acres, excellent livestock watering infrastructure with stock tanks, and a large population of unpressured whitetail deer.

Land

The Tri-County Ranch lies in three separate counties approximately 320 +/- acres in Ness County, 723 +/- acres in Lane County, and the remaining 927 +/- acres in Finney County. With around 320 +/- acres of tillable dry land crop ground and the remaining acres in grass, the ranch's excellent water infrastructure, combined with good terrain, creates a great foundation for any size of cattle operation. Hackberry Creek runs through the north end of the ranch, creating a great habitat for large Kansas whitetail deer and turkeys.

Improvements

The ranch is easily accessible via well-maintained county roads on both the north and south sides and has great boundary fences overall. With a little work on the Lane and Ness County tracts, the entire ranch can be fully utilized for cattle grazing. Water is always readily available with three separate wells, one with a solar pump that was completely redone in September 2024, and two pond beds currently holding water. The ranch also features electricity on site, a fully enclosed machine shed with concrete floors, and a partially enclosed Morton shed.

Recreation

This region of Kansas is renowned for its abundant whitetail deer population, and occasionally, mule deer can be spotted as well. The ranch also supports healthy numbers of turkey, quail, pheasant, and dove. With its diverse terrain and nearly 2,000 acres, the property offers a prime opportunity to cultivate a thriving population of whitetail and mule deer

Agriculture

Currently, 215 +/- acres are planted with wheat, which will be harvested in the summer of 2025, and an additional 107 +/- acres are currently unplanted.
