***UPDATE- SELLER HAS DECIDED TO OFFER THIS GREAT FARM IN 2 TRACTS AT AUCTION IN BUYERS CHOICE AUCTION.*****

Tract 1- 225.95± acres NE ¼ and N ½ SE ¼ S25 T29N R3E Cedar Co, Nebraska

For the first time since 1948, this highly productive irrigated farm in Northeast Nebraska is being offered to the public. Located at the intersection of Highway 20 and CO RD 576 AVE, the property includes 137.21 certified irrigated acres. The generally level to gently rolling farm has been well-maintained. With both highway and county road frontage, it offers excellent year-round access.

The irrigation equipment includes two (2) Reinke pivot systems: one 2006 Reinke 8-tower units (to be moved and installed by the buyer at buyer's expense) and an existing 2007 6-tower Reinke.

The property has been improved with drainage tile throughout, supported by a pump system that drains to the creek. These drainage improvements help maintain soil quality and manage excess water effectively.

This offering allows for full possession upon closing. The productive soils, irrigation, and great access make this an exceptional investment opportunity.

The land has not been available to the public for more than 75 years, making this a rare opportunity to acquire a significant block of contiguous irrigated farmland in a well-established region.
