285th & Wanamaker, Lyndon, KS 66451

Offered for sale as native grassland pasture, this tract totals 160 acres, more or less, in Osage County. The property features a robust plant community, including Big and Little Bluestem, Indiangrass, and Switch Grass, along with a compliment of productive forbs and a reported lack of weed presence. A large pond near the center of the pasture provides an established water source and has reportedly held usable water through droughts in 2011 and 2012. Fencing consists of barbed wire rated from adequate to excellent, with strand counts and condition varying by section, including a neighbor’s recent fence replacement on the east side.

The pasture is located in southern Osage County, just north of Melvern Lake, and is approximately two miles to the entrance of Eisenhower State Park at Melvern Lake. Access to the I-35 corridor at BETO Junction is about 13 miles. Approximate distances to area towns include 7 miles to Lyndon, 40 miles to Topeka, and 70 miles to the KC metro. Electric lines are located across the road from the southwest corner of the property and to nearby houses to the north and east.

For livestock operators or landholders seeking to add quality acreage, the combination of native forage and a central pond can support interior fencing and a rotational grazing approach. Rural water would be nearest to the east boundary, but the seller notes a line extension and engineering study regarding capacity would be required. The property is being offered via online auction beginning May 5, 2026 at Noon and closing May 7, 2026 at Noon.
