Sheridan County, Nebraska – Multi-Tract Offering

Dryland Grass, Ranch, Recreation & Investment Opportunity – 1,031.22± Acres

This is a rare chance to acquire up to 1,031.22± acres of productive Nebraska dryland and ranchland in the scenic Sandhills region of Sheridan County.

• Chadron, NE – About 40 minutes to the west, offering a regional airport, hospital, and Chadron State College.
• Access – County road frontage provides year-round accessibility to most tracts.

Tract Summaries

Tract 1 – 160± Acres
Solid native pasture with healthy grass cover and good carrying capacity. Perimeter fencing is in place, making it ready for immediate livestock use. Gentle terrain allows for efficient grazing rotation.

Tract 2 – 160± Acres
Rolling pastureland with strong grass stands. Borders Tract 3 to the west, making them an excellent pair for a 320± acre contiguous grazing block.

Tract 3 – 160± Acres
Similar in makeup to Tract 2, with productive native grasses and clean fencelines. These two tracts combined create a larger operational footprint with improved efficiency for livestock management.

Tract 4 – 160.72± Acres
A well-balanced quarter section pasture. Good perimeter fencing, Valentine fine sand, and Tuthill sandy loam soils, and rolling topography that provides grazing opportunities. Wildlife sightings include mule deer, whitetail, and upland birds. Pair with Tract 5 for a balanced ranch unit.

Tract 5 – 390.50± Acres
Expansive Sandhills pasture with excellent grazing potential and two windmills – one on the east side and one on the west – providing reliable water for livestock and wildlife. Rolling terrain offers outstanding vantage points for glassing mule deer, whitetail, Merriam’s turkey, and even the occasional elk. Combining this tract with Tract 4 gives you both hay production and pasture ground in one efficient package.

Agricultural & Recreational Value

• Grazing Land – Strong, native warm-season grasses with proven carrying capacity.
• Dryland Hay Production – Select acres in Tracts 4 and 5 are suited for haying, providing winter feed or extra income.
• Water Resources – Multiple windmills ensure dependable water supply for livestock and wildlife.
• Hunting & Wildlife – A mix of creek bottoms, rolling hills, and open grasslands creates prime habitat for mule deer, whitetail, Merriam’s turkey, sharp-tailed grouse, and pheasants.

Why This Offering Stands Out

• Purchase individually or combine tracts for larger operational units.
• Tracts 2 & 3 together form a contiguous 320± acres for efficient grazing.
• Located near both Walgren Lake and Hay Springs, giving you recreation, community, and convenience.
• Excellent opportunity for ranch expansion, investment, or a hunting retreat.
