71 acres of dryland

24.12 acres enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP)

396 acres of grassland and timber

Improvements

The property includes an older farmhouse, a newer steel-frame machine shed, and numerous older barns, garages, grain bins, and storage sheds. The property is served by the West Knox Rural Water system.

Hunting & Recreation

Located just south of the Niobrara River Valley and adjacent to the Bohemian Prairie Wildlife Management Area, this property offers an exceptional recreational setting.

The farmstead is nestled among rolling hills and along a scenic valley. The property was once known as the pioneer settlement of Armstrong, which served as a rural post office and general store for early settlers.

Two live streams meander through the property, providing year-round water resources and opportunities to construct or improve fishing ponds. Elk sheds found on the property provide evidence of a small elk herd beginning to establish on the premises and in immediate surrounding area. Trophy whitetails have also been harvested on this property and neighboring ranches in recent years.

Additional wildlife and hunting opportunities include upland game, doves, turkeys, bobcats, mountain lions, and other native wildlife.

Diverse Terrain & Wildlife Habitat

The topography varies dramatically, from level upland plains to lower valleys featuring creeks, marshes, wetlands, and beaver dams. High ridges provide spectacular views of the surrounding countryside, while rugged, timber-lined canyons and hillsides provide excellent wildlife habitat.

The timber includes bur oak, cedar, locust, walnut, cottonwood, and other native tree species. Abundant bedding cover, food sources, water, and diverse terrain contribute to the property's exceptional wildlife habitat.

The open prairies contain a wide variety of native grasses and plant species, creating a remarkably diverse ecosystem. This is a property that truly needs to be explored in person to fully appreciate the combination of agricultural land, timber, water, wildlife habitat, scenic terrain, and recreational opportunities it offers.

Investment Opportunity

This unique property offers an attractive combination of agricultural income, rental potential, potential tax benefits associated with depreciation, and exceptional hunting and recreational enjoyment.

Properties offering this level of diversity, acreage, water resources, wildlife habitat, and agricultural production are increasingly difficult to find.
