This 800-acre ranch is a Sportsman's Paradise. It is located an easy five-hour drive from Denver and the Front Range of Colorado. The property includes 450 acres of native grass pastureland, ponds, and ravines. There are also 310 acres of dry-land farm ground that could be planted as wildlife habitat, share-cropped, or potentially enrolled in the CRP program. The ranch was a 200-cow/calf operation until 2004; therefore, it is all cross fenced, has corrals, numerous draws, small canyons and rock ledges.
Two ponds and 1,000 trees contribute to making Seldom Hill Ranch a unique wildlife property. The largest pond is spring fed (eight acres +/-) and is stocked with Large-mouth Bass (up to 24”), Channel Catfish, Bluegills, and also brings in lots of water foul. The second smaller pond is one to two acres and also provides plenty of water for wildlife diversification, including Deer and Pronghorn Antelope. Twenty five years ago, 1,000 trees were planted three to four rows deep on this property: Rocky Mountain Juniper, Mountain Ash, Australian Pine. These trees are a windbreak around the 12-acre building site and calving pasture. Currently this windbreak creates wonderful wildlife habitat for the abundant Pheasants, Doves, Quail, Prairie Chickens, Mule Deer, and Whitetail Deer.
LOCATION
Seldom Hill Ranch is located approximately 80 miles southeast of Colby, Kansas. Although this property is positioned on a State Highway, it is a sparsely populated, rural area. There is a town within six miles which has a great restaurant. It is 20 miles to the local hospital, and larger cities are within an hour’s drive. The ranch is surrounded by privately-owned pastureland, CRP, and crop land. Cable TV is available.
ACREAGE
This acreage provides stunning sunrises and sunsets. The ranch is in the migration path of Canadian Geese, as well as other water foul. Because of the mature windbreak of trees and the close proximity of the two ponds, this unique property is also in the Spring and Fall migration path for the Monarch Butterflies (to and from Mexico). Limited mineral rights go along with this property.
RECREATION
This sportsman's paradise includes deer, antelope, pheasants and other upland game birds, and migratory water foul (Mallards, Teals, Red-headed Ducks, Bufflehead Ducks, Shoveler Ducks, Geese, and more). The large Cottonwood and Willow Trees by the ponds also are home to numerous types of Hawks and Owls. Some additional prairie critters are: Badgers, Jack Rabbits, Cottontails, Bobcats, and Prairie Dogs.
The property is eight miles from Cathouse Recreation Resort (fishing, golfing, four-wheeling). Additionally, Cedar Bluff Reservoir & Scott Lake State Park are within 40 miles, which offer fishing, boating, and swimming.
IMPROVEMENTS
The ranch has a 1980 modular, pre-built house (1,352 square feet) with a full basement and can sleep as many as 8-10 hunters. The home has a spacious living room, large dining room, laundry room/mud room, 2-bedrooms on the main floor, with the basement divided into four rooms. The main level is handicap accessible. A new roof was put on in 1998, and there is Direct TV Satellite, as well as DSL lines. All appliances go with the home (all Whirlpool brand and under 10 years of age). The home has air conditioning, propane heat, and an electric fireplace. A mobile home site or motor home site is approximately 75 yards away from the main house, with all of the separate utility hook-ups in place.
Two fresh water wells, each approximately 100 feet deep, supply water to the house and five hydrants, with two and a half miles of underground pipeline servicing three stock tanks. One of the wells is operated by a windmill. There is ample parking and turn-around space. There is a 30’ x 50’ metal shop with 220 volt electrical hook-up. The property also possesses two 30’ x 50’ barns and two 30’ x 50’ loafing sheds. All out-buildings are metal.
SUMMARY
Seldom Hill Ranch would be an ideal weekend getaway and hunting retreat for outdoor enthusiasts. The surrounding rural area and lack of close public lands make this hunting property most appealing. Uniqueness has been created by two ponds, mature Cottonwood/Willow Trees, and the 25-year-old windbreak of trees which invites wonderful wildlife habitat.
