EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Situated in the heart of the Smoky Hills region of Kansas, The Plinsky Ranch comes to market offering the next owner a piece of history, an unbelievable revenue stream, and a sustainable cattle and farming operation. The Plinsky Ranch was originally settled in 1879, just south of the main ranch, in Ellsworth County. It’s this quarter section that started it all. Fast forward 4 generations and the ranch has grown to just over 4800 acres, with most of these acres being contiguous in Lincoln County. When the family migrated north of the homestead, they settled in on the West branch of Elkhorn Creek, the current location of ranch headquarters.
Imagine a setting of nearly 5 miles of creek, the valley swelling to nearly a mile wide in places, the quaint valley setting being isolated by the dramatic elevation changes of the Smoky Hills to the east and west. As time has passed, these fertile creek bottom soils have provided for the family not only with countless bountiful crops, but also abundant wildlife. This vast, hardwood lined, creek setting boasts trophy deer and turkey, with quality genetics. The wildlife migrate daily from their elevated positions in the contiguous pastures to the lush green fields along the creek.
As with any viable settlement, there is a demand for a clean, reliable, water source. Through the current generation’s foresight, the ranch developed 8 wells to provide over 12 miles of water infrastructure. Strategically placed water tanks across the 3500 plus acres of pasture, provide clean water for livestock and wildlife. With 27 fresh water sources and 18 ponds throughout the ranch, cattle and wildlife thrive to their true potential.
Operating a ranch takes hard work and dedication. Mending fences, tree removal, pond and well maintenance, planting and harvesting crops, managing a cow herd, and eradicating noxious weeds, this becomes a full-time job. Through four generations of the Plinsky operation and stewardship, their hard work has been recognized at many levels, most recently winning both the county and state level conservation awards for grassland stewardship, even being nominated at the national level. You are buying a ranch that has been cared for and groomed to reach maximum efficiency.
As the ranch has evolved, so has its revenue sources. The Plinsky Ranch has not only provided renewable energy, but renewable revenue. The ranch is the principal landowner of the Smoky Hill Wind Farm and home to 30 wind turbines. The operational headquarters for the Smoky Hill Enel Wind Energy Project is located on site as well. Continuing the pledge to provide reliable, green energy, this ranch is possibly the only place in the state you will soon find, wind and solar power combined with energy storage at one site. A proposed 300-acre solar site and battery storage facility is slated for construction in the coming months. Combine the revenue streams of wind, solar, energy storage, operations facilities extended leases, high voltage transmission line leases, and substation leases and this ranch will outperform most similar investments and add to your bottom line. Renewable energy is renewable cashflow!
The Plinsky Ranch; where else can you amass over 4,800 acres of a nearly all contiguous operation, that puts multiple revenue streams in your portfolio at once? Whether you are strictly an investor looking to diversify, an operator looking to expand, or an avid hunter with the means to make a large purchase, the Plinsky Ranch of Lincoln, Kansas has something for everyone! Take the time to make your arrangements and schedule a tour.
