Silverdale 166 Ranch

Silverdale 166 Ranch is a premier 789 +/- acre working cattle and equine operation located in the rolling Flint Hills of southern Cowley County, Kansas, just minutes from Arkansas City and 5 +/- miles north of the Oklahoma state line. Offered in its entirety or in four quality tracts, this diverse ranch combines exceptional grass, reliable water, excellent infrastructure, and a rich history in livestock, horse training, and rodeo. Tract 1, consisting of 145 +/- acres, borders both HWY 166 and Cowley 1 blacktop and includes two large ponds, a mix of FSA-rated tame grass, bermuda, and native pasture, lightly timbered draws, electric and rural water on site, and catch pens with strong access from both east and west. This tract, recently drone-sprayed and maintained on a bi-annual herbicide program, supports a stocking rate of 4.5 acres per cow/calf pair and would make an excellent homesite, hobby ranch, or hay operation. Tract 2, known as the Home Place, encompasses 36.96 +/- acres and serves as the historic headquarters of the ranch. It features a two-level home with 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms upstairs, an industrial kitchen and additional living space below, nearly 10,000 square feet of red iron-covered barn space, 13 working and feed pens, and infrastructure that once supported 50 horse stalls and hosted rodeo schools and auctions. Tract 3 offers 119.5 +/- acres of clean grazing land with multiple springs and a central pond, consisting of 80% native grass and 20 +/- acres of tame pasture, sheep-tight perimeter fencing, and convenient blacktop access-ideal for grazing, haying, or a future homesite. Tract 4, the Born Ranch Unit, is the heart of the operation with 487 +/- acres including live water, multiple ponds, 160 +/- acres of fescue mix and bermuda bottoms, strong fencing, interior trails, and excellent wildlife habitat. Across all four tracts, the ranch features multiple ponds and creeks, rural water meters, electric service, high-quality fencing, and a consistent herbicide spraying program to maintain pasture health. Operational for cow/calf pairs, backgrounding, and equine training, the ranch also offers outstanding recreational opportunities with trophy whitetail, turkey, ducks, and upland birds. With paved access and close proximity to both Arkansas City and the Oklahoma border, Silverdale 166 Ranch presents a rare opportunity for cattle operators, horsemen, trainers, rodeo professionals, investors, or lifestyle buyers. It is available in flexible configurations, either as individual tracts or as a complete 789 +/- acre ranch. All showings are by appointment only.
