Otter Creek Ranch is a mosaic mix of Kansas Flint Hills prairie and fertile Otter Creek bottom divided by heavy hardwood timber and breathtaking limestone bluffs. Everything needed for a premier cattle ranch: lush Bluestem grasses with native herbs and forbs; fertile creek bottom paddocks that are a mixture of Bromegrass, Fescue, Red Clover, Ladino Clover, and Korean Lespedeza formulated to grow beef; abundant pure water sources from springs, creeks, ponds, and rural water; semi truck access to cattle facilities just 4 miles from Hwy 400; efficient backgrounding facility in the center of the grazing cells; topography with hills and timber; warm and cool season grasses and live water allowing year round cattle grazing.

In addition to cattle, Whitetail Deer, Eastern Turkeys, and Flathead Catfish are abundant along the spring fed streams.

This is a unique opportunity to own a beautiful working cattle operation managed by only two families in 80 years.

Modestly improved, efficiently designed, and low maintenance headquarters.

Two single family dwellings, remodeled in 2007; both with central heat & air, wood burning fireplaces, modern kitchens, and centrally located on the ranch.

Two old limestone rock & wood frame barns and a Farrier’s hut built about the turn of the 19th century when horses were used to cultivate the fields. All built into the hillside. The horse barn has stalls on the lower level with a wood floor hay loft still in use.

Cattle facilities include Certified 10-Ton Howe Standard Platform Scales, a workshop, feed mixing facility, overhead bins, welded pipe cattle pens with a tub, receiving and holding pens, and loading chute. The Feedlot has 4 feeding pens with 76 concrete fence line bunks and is watered primarily by an irrigation pond with rural water backup.



Part of the native rangeland is under a conservation easement.
