Description
Located approximately 5 miles east and a half mile south of Franklin, Nebraska, this 146.72± acre property offers a diverse combination of agricultural productivity, wildlife habitat, and riverfront recreation. With one mile of frontage along the Republican River, this tract combines irrigated tillable acres, timbered bottomland, and scenic elevation changes to provide an excellent blend of income potential and outdoor use. Of the total acreage, approximately 108 acres are productive, certified irrigated cropland. The soils consist primarily of Hord Silt Loam, McCook Fine Sandy Loam, and Wann Fine Sandy Loam—soils recognized for their fertility and versatility. These acres are currently utilized for row crop production, but could also support a rotation of food plots for wildlife if desired. The property includes a spring-fed pond, adding both water diversity and wildlife attraction. Deer, turkey, and upland birds are commonly seen throughout the tract, particularly along the mature timber rows lining the river bottom. The combination of thick cover, open tillable ground, and year-round water creates ideal conditions for wildlife movement and bedding. The topography features gentle elevation changes that provide natural vantage points for hunters and scenic overlooks of the Republican River valley. The layout allows for strategic stand placement and multiple access points depending on wind direction and game patterns. Approximately 12.9 acres are enrolled in a conservation program, offering an additional habitat component while contributing to the property’s overall management balance. Access is convenient, with maintained county roads leading to the property’s entrance. Power is available nearby, and the surrounding area consists of a mix of cropland, grassland, and wooded corridors that support healthy wildlife populations. The property sits near several south-central Nebraska communities, with Franklin located just 5 miles to the west and Bloomington roughly 10 miles to the east. Larger towns such as Holdrege (about 30 miles north) and Smith Center, Kansas (approximately 25 miles south), provide additional services and amenities. This Franklin County tract offers a strong combination of agricultural utility, habitat diversity, and recreational opportunity. Whether managed as an income-producing farm, a hunting property, or a blend of both, it stands as a well-rounded piece of land with the key elements that make this part of Nebraska desirable for land ownership and outdoor enjoyment.
