Description

Niobrara River Ranch – A Rare Opportunity for Ranching & Recreation

Welcome to the scenic Niobrara River—where ranching potential meets unmatched natural beauty. This expansive property features over 3 miles of the Niobrara River, providing abundant live water for livestock and serving as a vital resource for the area's thriving wildlife population. Whitetail deer, mule deer, antelope, elk, turkey, and upland birds are frequent visitors, making this a dream location for hunters and wildlife enthusiasts alike.

The ranch is strategically fenced into multiple pastures to support an efficient rotational grazing system. All pastures are well-watered, with a combination of windmills, tanks on pipeline, live water, and solar-powered wells ensuring reliable water access throughout the property.

Adding to its value, the ranch holds 134 acres of adjudicated water rights, with 125 acres currently under irrigation via a 7-tower 1999 Zimmatic pivot. This blend of irrigated ground and native pasture offers excellent forage and hay production options to support livestock year-round.

While there are no permanent buildings on the property, a well-constructed pipe corral system is in place along Pioneer School Road, providing solid infrastructure for cattle handling.

Whether you're looking to expand your current ranching operation or create a world-class hunting reserve, this property is a rare blank canvas with the natural features and resources to support a variety of visions. Don’t miss this opportunity to own a stunning piece of the Niobrara River Valley.
