Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
This 4,080-acre ranch combines agricultural ground, native pasture, and recreational land along the Niobrara River. More than 3 miles of river frontage provide live water for livestock and wildlife. The property is divided into multiple fenced pastures for rotational grazing, with water supplied by windmills, pipeline-fed tanks, solar-powered wells, and the river. There are no permanent buildings, while a pipe corral system along Pioneer School Road provides cattle-handling infrastructure.
The ranch includes 134 acres of adjudicated water rights, with 125 acres currently irrigated by a 7-tower 1999 Zimmatic pivot. Hay, potatoes, rye, and wheat are identified crops, and current uses include cattle, farming, grazing, livestock, hunting, pasture, recreation, and row crops. Wildlife noted on the property includes elk, mule deer, whitetail deer, antelope, turkey, upland birds, pheasants, waterfowl, dove, and small game. River access also supports hiking, bird watching, hunting, and watersports.
