BROKER’S COMMENTS
I have had the chance to list numerous Nebraska Sandhills Ranches, but this is one of the finest I have set foot on. It literally checks all the boxes, live water, excellent grass production, top-notch shelterbelts for cattle and wildlife, great improvements highlighted by the 8,313 square foot house/lodge, some of Nebraska’s finest hunting, airplane runway, along with being a highly diverse cattle ranch. The diversity would allow for several options for management to meet the needs of a new owner. The ranch lays in an area that has a reputation of the best cattle country and markets in the world. Opportunities of this quality are rare, with high AUM output and hunting opportunities abound, the North Loup River Ranch covers all the bases. The scenery from the porch on the lodge is second to none and the ranch is move-in ready.
