Located in the heart of Nebraska cattle country and surrounded by some of the finest hunting opportunities found throughout the Verdigre Creek and Niobrara/Missouri River Valley corridors, this 871.89-acre diversified property offers an exceptional combination of productive irrigated cropland, pasture, livestock facilities, live water, timber, hunting and extensive improvements.

The property consists of approximately 500 acres of irrigated cropland and 300 acres of pasture and recreational land, along with a well-established livestock operation featuring feedlot facilities capable of accommodating approximately 900 head of cattle.

The owners have made substantial recent investments in the feedlot, including steel continuous fencing and concrete aprons and fenceline feed bunks, enhancing both the functionality and long-term utility of the livestock facilities.
Organic Irrigated Cropland
Approximately 500 acres of the cropland are certified organic, providing an opportunity for continued organic production and the potential for premium markets.

The irrigated acreage is serviced by 10 center-pivot irrigation systems, including Valley and Reinke systems. Water is supplied from the Verdigre Creek through three surface-water pumping stations, each equipped with diesel power units, river screens and related pumping equipment.
Livestock & Feedlot Facilities
The property offers a versatile livestock headquarters with facilities suitable for a variety of cattle operations, including cow/calf, purebred operation, backgrounding and finishing enterprises.

The wooded pastures currently support approximately 20 cow/calf pairs for five months, while the feedlot facilities provide capacity for approximately 900 head.

Recent improvements to the livestock facilities include updated steel continuous fencing and concrete fenceline feed bunks. The property also features multiple livestock pens, water systems and complete working and load-out facilities.
Hunting & Recreation
One of the property's most distinctive features is the north branch of the beautiful Verdigre Creek, which flows through the center of the property.

The creek corridor is surrounded by mature burr oak, cottonwood and other hardwood timber, providing excellent wildlife habitat. The combination of live water, abundant food sources, timber and cover creates a premier hunting and recreational setting.

The property offers excellent potential for a private hunting retreat, recreational headquarters or additional income through a hunting lease. There is also considerable opportunity for a new owner to further enhance the wildlife habitat and hunting potential by adding strategically placed food plots and access trails throughout.
