SOLD! — $1,650,000 ($688/acre)

Consisting of 100% Sandhills rangeland, this beautiful property is an optimal location for livestock production. Windmills and a recently-installed well system provide ample water to numerous stock tanks throughout the property. This acreage also includes land features that lend themselves to the construction of a new residence or other buildings.

This ranch is located on both sides of U.S. Highway 83 and has a county gravel road that provides access to the northeast part of property. The property is currently used as a summer grazing unit for 200 cow/calf pairs. There are four tree claims that provide an idea location to build a new home site, as well as offering instant weather protection for livestock production. Within the last five years, a submersible well and water pipeline have been put in place, which provides water to 10 stock tanks to seven pastures. There are an additional six windmills on the property for stock water. The volunteer cedar trees have been removed, creating a better grazing environment. Fences are mostly three-wire barbed wire with some four-wire along the neighbor. This is a prime property-ownership opportunity, and the ranch sells with an existing lease ending on December 2016.

The property will sell at public auction on November 10, 2016 at the Stapleton Community Center, Stapleton, NE. It will be offered as 2 parcels and a combination.

Parcel 1: 1,670+/- acres lying east of US Highway 83. Outstanding tree protection, water pipeline.
