It’s rare to find a property of this size and caliber on the market — a true Western Kansas gem combining incredible hunting, strong returns, and unmatched seclusion: The Smoky Hill Hunting Ranch! At 1,595.79± contiguous acres, this ranch offers everything a serious land investor, outdoorsman, or trophy hunter could want. From the moment you step onto the property, it’s clear you’re in the heart of big deer country. The ranch’s natural topography is loaded with winding canyons, deep draws, and rolling breaks — prime bedding and travel corridors that whitetail and mule deer can’t resist. This area of Gove County is known for its genetics, and it shows. Mature bucks roam the ridges and bottomlands, and the draws are alive with sign. Add in the wide-open flats, and you’ve also got outstanding antelope opportunities. The recreational potential doesn’t stop there. Multiple natural water features, ponds, and the ranch’s proximity to the Smoky Hill River create a reliable water source that keeps wildlife on the property year-round. Every ridge you climb opens to a new view, and every draw seems to hold the possibility of a buck slipping through the cover. It’s the kind of ground you can spend a lifetime hunting and never fully explore. Beyond the recreation, this is a working ranch that provides strong income potential. The ranch is fully fenced and currently produces an excellent yearly return through grazing and mineral leases. A brand-new water well with a solar-powered submersible pump has been installed, ensuring reliable water for cattle and wildlife alike. Best of all, all of the seller’s mineral interests will convey with the sale. Large, contiguous tracts like this don’t come up often — especially in such a proven area for big deer and antelope. Located just 27± miles from Quinter and 79± miles from Hays, it offers convenient access while still providing the privacy and seclusion of a true Kansas ranch. If you’ve been searching for a ranch that blends top-tier hunting with income and long-term investment security, this 1,595.79± acre Gove County property is the one! It’s not just land — it’s a legacy waiting to be claimed! All showings are by appointment only.
