Description
Buck Haven – Legacy Ranch, Premier Hunting, and Development Opportunity | Shawnee County, Kansas
A true multi-generational investment opportunity — Buck Haven offers a rare blend of working ranch potential, elite hunting, and strategic development positioning just minutes from Topeka, KS.
This extraordinary tract — one of Shawnee County’s largest privately held contiguous properties — is located only 1 mile from the new $64 million Auburn-Washburn USD 437 middle school site (and future high school complex), placing it directly in the path of growth while preserving its ranching and recreational heritage.
Currently a premier whitetail hunting property, Buck Haven is equally suited for establishing a legacy cattle operation, equestrian estate, or rural residential development.
Wide-open valleys and strong grass stands paired with timbered draws and diverse native habitat make this an ideal mixed-use property. Well-maintained internal roads and trails provide easy access throughout, while multiple ponds — including a large, stocked water feature in the Northeast Quarter — ensure dependable water sources for livestock, wildlife, and future improvements.
The land naturally divides into areas suited for rotational grazing, hay production, hunting, and development, allowing an owner to pursue multiple revenue streams or simply preserve it for family recreation and appreciation over generations.
Highlights include:
Highly developable location less than 15 minutes to restaurants, shopping, and urban amenities
Strong native pasture and grasslands for grazing or horse operations
Exceptional whitetail deer and upland hunting, with natural separations for multiple hunters
Completed adjacent housing developments and planned area growth boosting long-term land values
Rare opportunity to buy a “trophy-sized” parcel this close to a major city
Whether you’re building a family ranch headquarters, creating an income-producing recreational property, or holding for future subdivision and sale, Buck Haven delivers the versatility and upside rarely found in today’s land market.
Owner is open to discussing parcel divisions depending on pricing and terms.
