Recreational & Residential Land for Sale in Auburn, Nebraska

Located in Nemaha County Nebraska, this property sits just 4 miles from Auburn, roughly 70 miles from Lincoln, and about 75 miles from Omaha - close enough for weekend access, far enough to feel like a different pace of life. The farm is just under 40 acres and combines the infrastructure, terrain, and location that multi-use buyers look for in a smaller recreational or residential tract. The land itself is a mix of timbered draws, meadows, and well-maintained pasture, with some fence lines already upgraded. A pond sits in the middle of the valley, giving the property both a visual anchor and a reliable water source for wildlife and livestock. The main draw that runs through the property connects directly to timber on the adjoining tracts, which matters for anyone evaluating this ground for hunting: that connectivity extends travel corridors and cover well beyond this property's boundary lines, giving deer and other game more reasons to move through and hold on this ground rather than just pass by. Infrastructure is already in place, which is often the biggest hurdle on smaller acreages. Power and water are both on site. A former hog barn has been converted to usable work space, with a recent addition that adds usable square footage - a practical setup for storage or general project space. There's also an off-grid cabin on the property, offering a functional base camp for hunting season or a simple weekend stay without needing to run full utilities to a second structure. For anyone considering a future home site, the property offers a build location with a view over the timbered valley, positioned about a mile from Highway 75. That combination - a private setting with a pond and timber view, paired with quick highway access - is not easy to find on a tract this size. It puts commuting to Auburn, Lincoln, or Omaha within reach while keeping the day-to-day feel rural. Overall, this is a property that works on more than one level. The terrain and adjoining timber support hunting and wildlife use. The pasture and fencing support livestock or grazing. The power, water, shop space, and off-grid cabin support immediate use, whether that's weekend recreation or a phased approach toward a permanent residence. And the location - close to Auburn with easy highway access and a reasonable drive to both Lincoln and Omaha - keeps the property practical for regular use rather than an occasional destination.
