Entire Farm Description:
Located just 2.5 miles east of Central City in Merrick County, Nebraska, this exceptional property presents a rare opportunity to build your dream rural home or expand your existing farm portfolio. Offering open tenancy after the second hay cutting this year, the land is ready for new ownership and fresh ideas. One of the standout features is the 60x80 Cleary building, constructed in 2000, which sits on a solid concrete floor—currently used for hay storage but versatile enough for equipment, workshop use, or additional storage needs. The property includes an established well, offering immediate utility for irrigation or residential development. Currently, it produces high-quality horse hay known for its top-tier quality and ability to fetch premium pricing in the market. With the current farming contract concluding after this year’s second cutting, a new owner will have the freedom to farm, lease, or develop as they see fit, starting next season. What truly sets this property apart is its unique flexibility. A new driveway will be installed at closing, and the buyer will have the rare opportunity to choose its location, allowing for personalized access and layout planning. Properties like this are seldom available in the area, combining strong agricultural potential with the convenience of proximity to Central City. The home is not included in the sale: only 45.66± acres of undeveloped ground and the Cleary building. Call the listing agent for more information.
