5,219 Acres, Western Cherry County Sandhills Ranch

A very nice 5,219± acre ranch located in far Western Cherry County. Access is by county roads 23 miles Southeast of Gordon, NE. The ranch is all contiguous except for 160± acres located 1 mile West of the North boundary of the ranch. There are 175 acres of irrigatable land. Previously, a wheel line was used to irrigate; however, they are not currently being utilized. There are two irrigation wells powered by electricity. Adding two pivots to this ranch would add some feed base and allow the new owner to run more cows.

The ranch is fenced into 12 different pastures, with 14 different water tanks. The Seller rated the ranch at 275 pairs year round. If the irrigation wells were up and running this ranch could have a bigger feed base and more cows could be added.
