Lake Acreage For Sale

Located less than 15 minutes west of Columbus, Nebraska, this 215+/- acre tract offers an ideal mix of income-producing pasture and premier recreational opportunity with direct access to the scenic Loup River. With approximately 160 acres of clean, well-maintained pasture and roughly 54 acres of timber, this farm is a great package for cattlemen, investors, and outdoorsmen alike. There's also additional acres of accretion ground along the river that adds value and character to the tract, offering additional wildlife habitat and space for recreation. The timber consists primarily of mature cottonwoods and cedars, with a dense stand of younger willows on the northern edge that provides excellent bedding and security cover for the whitetails. This area has a strong history of producing quality deer and turkey, as the Loup River corridor only enhances the wildlife potential. A small pond on the property offers a water source for both livestock and wildlife, while additional recreational opportunities are available with direct river access for kayaking, fishing, four-wheeling, or jeeping. Several natural clearings within the timber would make ideal food plot locations, allowing a new owner to easily transform this into a prime hunting destination. Roughly 75% of the perimeter fencing was replaced in 2019, and the current tenant typically runs around 35 cow/calf pairs each season, providing additional income. The pasture is clean and well-managed, ready for continued grazing. The property sits on an inside corner of a gravel road, creating a sense of privacy that's hard to find this close to town. Only 10 miles from Columbus, the last 1.5 miles to the farm are gravel-everything else is paved highway. Once on the property, access to the timber from both the north and south allows hunters to play the wind and pressure smartly. Whether you're looking for a well-rounded pasture unit with income potential, a private riverfront hunting getaway, or a property to develop into your dream wildlife haven, this farm checks a lot of boxes.
