The property consists of 67 acres of surface waterirrigated hay ground, flood irrigated with established water rights. The productive hay base provides dependable annual income while also enhancing the overall wildlife habitat. Quality soils and reliable surface water make this tract well-suited for alfalfa or grass hay production.
Complementing the farm ground are 53 acres of North Platte River bottom, featuring mature cottonwoods, open meadows, and natural cover that create outstanding wildlife habitat. This stretch of western Nebraska is well known for strong whitetail genetics, and the river bottom habitat provides ideal travel corridors and bedding areas. During the rut, bucks roam the cottonwood bottoms in search of does, offering excellent hunting opportunities.
Waterfowl hunting in this region of NE is world class. Situated within the North Platte River system, the property offers fantastic duck and Canada goose hunting. Two small sloughs provide consistent water sources for wildlife and hold ducks throughout the season. These sloughs could also be enhanced or managed further to create a more developed waterfowl setup. The combination of river bottom habitat, nearby ag fields, and natural water makes this ideal for migrating birds.
Turkey populations thrive in this region, with ideal habitat consisting of open meadows for feeding and large roost trees along the river bottom. Deer, turkey, and waterfowl all benefit from the balanced mix of hay production and native cover.
