Entire Farm Description:
For the first time since 1948, this highly productive irrigated farm in Northeast Nebraska is being offered to the public. Located at the intersection of Highway 20 and CO RD 576 AVE, the property includes 303.46 certified irrigated acres. The generally level to gently rolling farm has been well-maintained. With both highway and county road frontage, it offers excellent year-round access.
The irrigation equipment includes three Reinke pivot systems: two 2006 Reinke 8-tower units (one to be moved and installed by the buyer at buyer's expense) and an existing 2007 6-tower Reinke. The certification of 137.21 acres is pending transfer from the Lower Elkhorn NRD.
The property has been improved with drainage tile throughout, supported by a pump system that drains to the creek. These drainage improvements help maintain soil quality and manage excess water effectively.
This offering allows for full possession upon closing. The productive soils, irrigation, and great access make this an exceptional investment opportunity.
The land has not been available to the public for more than 75 years, making this a rare opportunity to acquire a significant block of contiguous irrigated farmland in a well-established region.

Interested parties should verify the utilities, zoning, and land use restrictions.
