Description
Water, water, water. Soldier Creek flows through this Knox County, Nebraska ranch; natural springs feed +/- 56 acres of lakes and ponds, and an 8-inch well keeps +/- 585 acres of pivot ground working. Add food plots with blinds already in place, a cabin with a loft, and a hangar with its own grass runway, and you have a property built for hunting, fishing, and farming.
Fish the Springs, Hunt the Water
Start with the lakes. Spring-fed water across +/- 56 acres gives this ranch trophy-caliber fishing potential. The same lakes and ponds draw ducks and geese; the spring-fed wetlands offer great potential for future waterfowl hunting setups. Soldier Creek adds live water and habitat that runs right through the middle of it all.
Deer, Turkey, and Upland Birds
Whitetail deer, turkey, and upland birds are all hunted here, and the elk seem to have made this property home. Several large food plots are placed with blinds already in place, and a trail network, tree stands, timber, and a gated entrance round out the setup. The pasture is in excellent shape. It has never been grazed, since it was set aside as wildlife habitat, and it can go back to grazing whenever a new owner wants it.
Ground That Earns
This ranch also farms. +/- 585 acres sit under pivot irrigation on a proven system, and another +/- 80 acres are dry-land and 148 in CRP. Tillable and hay ground add to the mix, and an internal gravel road system reaches even the far corners. Rural water and electric are in place and run throughout. Whether the goal is a recreational ranch, an income-producing farm, or both at once, the ground supports it.
Cabin, Hangar, and Room for Equipment
The 3-bedroom, 4-bath cabin with loft is ready to serve as a base camp. A hangar with a grass runway sets this ranch apart from most recreational properties. 60x100 and 60x120 machine sheds hold equipment, and a shop and garage are also listed. Fencing is a mix of low fence and cross fence, and access is by county and township roads with gravel surfaces.
Location and Terms
The ranch sits in Knox County in northeast Nebraska within the Soldier Creek drainage, which flows to the Niobrara River. Seller’s mineral rights convey, and annual taxes are $37,429. The sale may be subject to the seller completing an IRS 1031 tax-deferred exchange. Photos show the pieces, but the way the creek, lakes, fields, and food plots work together is best understood on the ground. Call the listing agent to schedule your showing.
