Kimball County, Nebraska | 156.03 Acres | $1,150,000
Bushnell Country Estate is a horse property for sale in Nebraska that rarely comes to market with this level of infrastructure already in place. Finding a property in western Nebraska that is already built out, already producing, and already livable from day one is not common. Most rural acreage in this corridor requires years of investment before it reaches what Bushnell Country Estate has in place right now.
This 156-acre property in Kimball County offers a maintained three-bedroom home, a 40 x 50 horse barn with three stalls and automatic waterers, a fully equipped shop with radiant heat and 220 volt service, pipe and cable corrals, a riding arena, and a stocked fishing pond on-site. It is listed at $1,150,000.
What Makes This Nebraska Horse Property Different
Western Nebraska acreage properties with mature trees are rare. Wind dominates across the Panhandle, and the shelter and privacy that come with established tree plantings take decades to develop. The owners built this property over years, adding extensive tree plantings, underground utilities, perimeter and cross fencing, and irrigated landscaping. That work is done.
The pond is stocked with largemouth bass, bluegill, crappie, and grass carp. On-site fishing without leaving the property is not something most Kimball County acreage offers.
Less than thirty minutes away, Lake Oliver Recreation Area offers boating, fishing, hiking, and picnicking. As a result, buyers get both private on-site recreation and immediate access to a regional lake destination, a practical combination for year-round use.
The Horse and Equipment Infrastructure
The horse barn measures 40 x 50 feet and includes three 10 x 14 stalls, Nelson automatic waterers, a 15 x 9 tack room, and attached hay storage. The shop runs 36 x 48 feet with radiant propane heat, air conditioning, a 10-foot and a 12-foot overhead door, 200 amp service, and a loft with multiple storage areas. A dog kennel area is built in as well.
For buyers running horses or managing equipment, these are not starter facilities. They are built for use.
A Note on the Irrigation Well and Water Rights
The property carries a permitted irrigation well with 130 acres of water rights, currently used to fill the pond as needed. For buyers evaluating this property, that detail warrants a closer look. Because irrigation rights in Nebraska carry value beyond their current use, the permit documentation should be reviewed as part of due diligence.
Location and Access
Bushnell Country Estate sits near Bushnell in Kimball County, with access via maintained county roads and a short drive to Interstate 80. Nearby communities include Kimball, Sidney, Scottsbluff, Pine Bluffs, and Cheyenne, Wyoming. Regional shopping, healthcare, and transportation corridors are all within reach without sacrificing the privacy of the property itself.
Additionally, the property includes Starlink internet and a 20kw Generac backup generator. Both have become meaningful practical considerations for buyers working remotely or managing operations from a rural base.
Who Should Consider This Nebraska Horse Property for Sale
Bushnell Country Estate fits several buyer profiles. Horse property buyers will find the infrastructure already in place and functional. Buyers seeking a recreational and lifestyle property will enjoy on-site fishing, proximity to Lake Oliver, and a home built in 2002 with granite countertops, central air, and a wood-burning insert. Buyers relocating from the Front Range or Cheyenne corridor will appreciate the Interstate 80 access and Wyoming proximity. Furthermore, buyers considering a remote work base in a rural setting will find the Starlink and generator infrastructure already handled.
