Tract 1 Description: 134 acres This property is a true wing shooting and whitetail haven, built around thoughtfully designed habitat and first-class improvements. Over 54 acres are enrolled in WRP with more than a half-mile of Platte River frontage and a diverse wetland system anchored by two primary sloughs. Pools are filled with a PTO driven gator pump. The 8 discharge, when pumping from 15 feet above the river, moves 2900 gallons per minute, or 1,392,000 gallons per 8 hours. Slough 1 spans approximately 4.5 acres, flooding to 6.57 feet deep, and is loaded with smartweed and other native waterfowl food sources. Nearby is a 1.5-acre designated food plot positioned to complement both waterfowl and deer movement. Slough 2 consists of three flood-control pools that fill in succession, extending huntable water conditions through changing weather. Berms around both systems have been planted in various food sources over the years, and each pool includes shooting mounds and nesting cover, ready for pit installation if desired. Roughly 10 acres of the WRP are marshy timber that consistently draws wood ducks, teal, and woodcock, while warm-season grasses near Slough 2 add upland diversity for quail and dove. Complementing the wetlands are 37 acres of tillable ground with rich silt loam soils, much of which averages in the 80s on the NCCPI scale. The current farmer is interested in continuing a - crop share lease. Two fish ponds add year-round recreation, including one extensively reinforced and supplemented with bentonite to reduce leakage and improve long-term water retention, and several PVC and Cinder block fish nesting habitat structures have been added during pond renovations. At the center sits a 3,000 sq ft modern rustic lodge with interior and exterior stone fireplaces, a large common area, bar, game-cleaning station, executive bunk room, and multiple baths for hosting groups. Up the drive is a 960 sq ft guest cabin with 2 beds, 1 bath, a garage, an efficient kitchen, and a porch overlooking the pond and lodge. Additional improvements include a heated dog kennel, 860 sq ft heated/insulated equipment shed, and a 12x20 decoy shed.

Made up entirely of bottomland timber and offering over a mile of river frontage, the opportunities here are as diverse as they are exciting. A major sandbar on an outward bend of the river creates a natural gathering spotperfect for campfires, weekend get-togethers, and making memories. Whitetail activity is strong throughout the tract, and existing stand and mineral sites are already positioned to take advantage of prominent west and south winds. An old slough remnant provides a natural bedding area that deer consistently use, while mature maple and cottonwood trees offer excellent turkey roosting habitat. With its river setting, the potential for waterfowl-focused improvements is a major bonus, and the habitat could be taken to the next level with additional enhancements. A portion of the understory has already been managed in preparation for future cattle grazing, while the remainder provides thick, quality cover for wildlife. Adding to the uniqueness is a sand deposit near the river that offers an elevated vantage point in an otherwise flat landscape.
