Description
Tract 1 Description: 134± acres
This property is a true wing shooting and whitetail haven, built around thoughtfully designed habitat and first-class improvements. Over 54 acres are enrolled in WRP with more than a half-mile of Platte River frontage and a diverse wetland system anchored by two primary sloughs. Pools are filled with a PTO driven gator pump. The 8” discharge, when pumping from 15 feet above the river, moves 2900 gallons per minute, or 1,392,000 gallons per 8 hours. Slough 1 spans approximately 4.5 acres, flooding to 6.5–7 feet deep, and is loaded with smartweed and other native waterfowl food sources. Nearby is a 1.5-acre designated food plot positioned to complement both waterfowl and deer movement. Slough 2 consists of three flood-control pools that fill in succession, extending huntable water conditions through changing weather. Berms around both systems have been planted in various food sources over the years, and each pool includes shooting mounds and nesting cover, ready for pit installation if desired. Roughly 10 acres of the WRP are marshy timber that consistently draws wood ducks, teal, and woodcock, while warm-season grasses near Slough 2 add upland diversity for quail and dove.
Complementing the wetlands are 37± acres of tillable ground with rich silt loam soils, much of which averages in the 80s on the NCCPI scale. The current farmer is interested in continuing a ⅔-⅓ crop share lease. Two fish ponds add year-round recreation, including one extensively reinforced and supplemented with bentonite to reduce leakage and improve long-term water retention, and several PVC and Cinder block fish nesting habitat structures have been added during pond renovations.
At the center sits a 3,000± sq ft modern rustic lodge with interior and exterior stone fireplaces, a large common area, bar, game-cleaning station, executive bunk room, and multiple baths for hosting groups. Up the drive is a 960± sq ft guest cabin with 2 beds, 1 bath, a garage, an efficient kitchen, and a porch overlooking the pond and lodge. Additional improvements include a heated dog kennel, 860± sq ft heated/insulated equipment shed, and a 12x20 decoy shed.
