Entire Farm Description:

Ranch & Farm Auctions is offering 508.63± acres of Lancaster County, Nebraska, farmland in four tracts, giving buyers the flexibility to bid on a single tract or piece together a larger farming or investment operation. The land lies in the rolling ground west of Agnew and south of Valparaiso, in the heart of the Little Salt Creek and Oak Creek drainage that feeds Branched Oak Lake. Lincoln is approximately 23 miles to the southeast, putting the farm within easy reach of the city while keeping the rural feel.

Across the four tracts, you’ll find a mix of productive row crop ground, pasture, and mature timber, along with two farm homesteads, grain storage, and a shop building. Soils across the offering run primarily to Aksarben silty clay loam and Yutan silty clay loam, with NCCPI ratings ranging from the high 50s to the low 60s depending on the tract. Every tract carries road frontage on at least two sides, and each has power either along the road or runs to existing improvements, simplifying future development or continued operation.

Tract 1 (77.19± acres) combines corn ground, grass, and mature timber along Little Salt Creek, with road frontage on two sides and power along the north line. Tract 2 (76.97± acres) offers corn and pasture along with a 1920-built, 1,872 square foot two-story farmhouse (selling as-is). Tract 3 (157.88± acres) is the most intensively farmed of the four, with grass and row crop ground, grain bins, and two-sided road frontage. Tract 4 (196.59± acres) rounds out the offering with grass acres, grain production acres, a 1960-built ranch home (selling as-is), and a 48x104 shop.

For hunters and outdoor enthusiasts, the timbered draws and creek corridors running through several of the tracts add recreational value alongside the farm income, and the proximity to Branched Oak Lake State Recreation Area puts boating, fishing, and additional public hunting ground just minutes away. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a meaningful block of Lancaster County farmland, whether the goal is to expand a farming operation or invest in productive Nebraska ground.

 

Tract 1 Description:

Tract 1 is a 77.19± acre parcel in Lancaster County, Nebraska, combining tillable acres with grass and a block of mature timber that runs through the eastern and southern edge of the property.

Soils are made of mainly Burchard clay loam and Aksarben silty clay loam with smaller inclusions of Judson silt loam, Mayberry silty clay loam, and Steinauer clay loam. The tract carries an overall NCCPI rating of 57.9.

The tract fronts West Little Salt Road on the north and Northwest 126th Street on the west, giving it road frontage on two sides and good access for equipment and options for access for potential future builds.  Power runs along the north side of the property while a mature block of timber runs along the east and south boundary, offering additional wildlife cover and drainage.

Located approximately 3 miles west of Agnew and roughly 23 miles from Lincoln, Tract 1 sits just a short drive from Branched Oak Lake, adding recreational opportunities to its value.

Thank you for participating in this auction. Please familiarize yourself with the terms and conditions as all sales are final and irrevocable. The terms of sale are non-negotiable. Good luck and good bidding!

Registration at the auction (online and/or in person) finalizes each bidder's agreement to the terms and conditions of sale as stated in the Contract and its Addenda which are incorporated by reference into your bidding. Do not bid until you have read and agree to the terms and conditions. By bidding you are representing that you have read and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions for this sale as stated herein. DO NOT BID unless you have registered, received a Bidder's Card or paddle number and have read and agreed to be bound by the terms of sale in the Contract as they are enforceable against you upon becoming a high bidder. The successful bidder will be required to execute a Sales Agreement at the conclusion of the auction and submit the appropriate down payment in a timely manner as instructed by the Auctioneer.

All properties are sold "AS IS, WHERE IS" with no financing, inspection or other contingencies to sale. The Broker and Auction Company represent the seller only and do not inspect properties on the bidder's behalf. Read the Contract and Auction Day Notes to determine the existence of any disclosures, exclusions, representations and disclaimers. Do not bid if you have not inspected the property(ies). By bidding you agree to all disclosures.

Buyers receive a deed and Title Insurance Policy as provided by the Closer indicated in the Contract (any mobile/manufactured housing not legally affixed to the property shall only be conveyed by a Hold Harmless Agreement or Quitclaim Bill of Sale unless otherwise noted in the Disclosures). The current year's taxes are prorated through the day of closing as is customary unless otherwise noted or announced on sale day.

Or in abstract states, the seller shall provide a continuation of the abstract of title thru the date of sale for the buyer or buyers attorney to examine.

The sale of this property may be subject to a Buyer's Premium, which will be added to the high bid and included in the total purchase price. Please see the Auction Day Notes, The Contract for Sale, and/or the Auctioneer for specifics about the property you wish to bid on.

Tracts sold by the acre - The contract will indicate the current acreage, bid per acre and the high bid will be the current acreage multiplied by the high bid per acre. If a survey is required prior to closing that would result in a change to acreage, the contract will be adjusted to that acreage prior to closing and the purchase price will reflect that change in acreage.

If a survey is required, it is typically done immediately following the auction. The per acre bid at auction will then be multiplied by actual surveyed acres to determine the final sales price at closing. The purchase agreement and sales day announcements will identify the party responsible for survey cost.

Each high bidder must sign a purchase agreement and make a 10% non-refundable deposit immediately following the auction to the designated Title Company or escrow agent noted on the Purchase Agreement. Cash, wire transfers, cashier's checks, personal checks and business checks (electronically processed) are accepted. For online only auctions, wire transfers are the preferred method for deposits. Wire instructions will be sent from the escrow agent or title company at the conclusion of the auction or the next day. The balance of the purchase price and all closing costs are due within 30 days unless otherwise noted or announced.

Bidding starts at the nominal Opening Bid(s) indicated and is open to the public. The Auctioneer reserves the right to group, add to, delete, withdraw, consolidate or break down lots and/or quantities offered, to sell out of scheduled sequence, to reject any bid which is only a fraction advance over the preceding bid, to regulate bidding, to accept or reject any or all bids, and to cancel or reschedule an auction.
