Are you an avid hunter looking for a manageable piece of hunting ground? Rancher looking for more pasture ground to graze a small herd? If you answer "Yes" to either or both of those questions then this may be just what you are looking for. This property, located just a short drive outside of Johnstown, NE, comprises 201 acres of ranch land, 132 pasture. It has a CRP government contract on some of the property which brings in $2,200 annually. The land also has an artisan creek that runs through the middle of the property, providing fresh water straight from the aquifer, year round. The whole 201 acres is fenced in and fencing is maintained by the current rancher who leases the ground to run cattle. This property frequents the likes of deer, turkey, grouse, coyotes, bobcats, and occasionally there will even be sightings of elk and mountain lions. Current owners had begun to construct a small, 20x16, cabin on stilts on the property. There are building materials that will stay with the buyer/property some of which include 2x12s and 4x8 plywood. No cabin yet, no worries. The property does have an outhouse and fire pit to accommodate stays on the property.
