103 Acres in Manhattan, KS - $1,197,072

Prime Development Opportunity West of Tuttle Creek Lake in Manhattan, Kansa

Located north of Manhattan sits this 103 +/- acres of prime residential development land that holds all the incredible views with sought-after amenities ideal for building. From paved road frontage, and necessary rural water hookup, to lay of the land aesthetics.

This long-time family-owned farm has been a pillar of the cattle ranch operation dating back to the early 1900s. Over the years and continued growth of the area and community, the ranch has seen it all and has now become surrounded by development, bringing new variables to the family’s day-to-day ranching practices. And with that, the opportunity for a new owner to capitalize on the land’s future development value.

The 103 +/- acres are made up of native grasses of Big Bluestem, Little Bluestem, Indian, and Switch. The topography of the land is well suited for development with room for several cul-de-sacs and holds multiple entrance options on the west and south. There are 2 ponds on the property and one timbered draw throughout the northern section of the farm. The entire property is fully fenced with 5-strand barbed wire fencing with no interior cross fencing. The views are stunning 360 degrees of Kansas Flint Hills beauty with cascading hilltops west of Tuttle Creek Lake.

The landowners met with Riley County Zoning and had a LESA (Land Evaluation/Site Assessment) performed, scoring the farm for potential development. The land is currently zoned as agricultural. Rural Water District #1 is available with an 8-inch line coming out of University Park that continues down Hi-View Drive and University Park Road at 6 inches. Hi-View Drive is a paved roadway and University Park Road is a graveled roadway to the southeast. Riley County Unified School District 378. The seller will provide a staked survey prior to closing. All mineral rights are intact and will transfer to the buyer at closing.

With all the factors involved and the current exponential and expected future growth in the MHK area, development north is where Manhattan is heading. With the USDA Nation Bio and Agro-Defense Facility opening the first BSL-4 laboratory in the U.S., along with Kansas State University and Fort Riley, the area and community is strong and trending at a rapid rate of growth. Pair that with the prime devolvement site, makes this tract a priority investment.
