Tract 1 of 2
Description
Tract 1 Description: 157.1± acres
This multi-use acreage in Lancaster County offers a functional combination of agricultural & livestock production, infrastructure, and recreational opportunity—all within approximately 10 miles of Lincoln and roughly 4.5 miles from Highway 77. The location provides efficient access to town while maintaining the space and versatility buyers look for in a rural property.
The farm benefits from county road frontage with power and water already established on the property, offering flexibility for expansion, additional building sites, or operational adjustments.
The land boasts rolling topography with a balanced mix of hay, alfalfa, and tillable production acres. This diversity supports multiple production strategies.
Two outbuildings and an additional garage provide ample storage capacity for equipment, feed, hay, or livestock needs. The scale of storage accommodates a range of operations—from small-scale hobby farming to more structured programs.
From a recreational standpoint, the property contains the tailwaters of Salt Creek Reservoir 13-B, which flow through the farm, creating a slough area that enhances habitat diversity. These acres help support upland bird and waterfowl as well as whitetail deer ecosystems. The slough configuration offers an ideal natural location for waterfowl setups with minimal intrusion into the rest of the farm.
Timbered draws with mature trees provide bedding cover for deer and travel corridors for wildlife. Established hedgerows contribute additional protection for livestock while enhancing habitat structure. The mix of open forage, crop ground, timbered pockets, and water access creates year-round wildlife utility without sacrificing agricultural productivity.
For buyers seeking a property that supports income potential, livestock infrastructure, recreational value, and proximity to Lincoln, this acreage checks multiple boxes. The layout allows for continued agricultural use while preserving habitat features that contribute to long-term land value and enjoyment.
Whether you’re looking for acres to expand your current operation or just looking for a convenient place to escape the hustle and bustle of city life, you’re not going to want to miss this opportunity!
