159 +/- Acres, Holt County, Nebraska

159± Acres, Holt County, Nebraska

Tucked just one mile off paved 887th Road, this diverse 159± acre property offers the perfect blend of year-round recreation and agricultural return potential. The property boasts a large, well-maintained pond stocked with bass, bluegill, crappie, catfish, and yellow perch — delivering outstanding fishing opportunities. The pond also offers excellent depth variation, with approximately 4–5 feet on the west end, 10–12 feet on the east end, and a winding channel reaching up to 6 feet deep toward the south. A smaller southern pond flows into the main body of water that was previously stocked with walleye, adding even more angling potential.

Timbered areas surrounding the pond and mature hedge trees lining the north fence create a natural food plot and travel corridor, offering solid hunting appeal for deer and other wildlife.

Beyond recreation, this property provides income potential with 16± acres of dryland cropland and 37± acres of irrigated farmland equipped with a 4-tower center pivot that has been converted to electric with like-new sprinklers, drops, and a Nelson 100 end gun supplied by the dam. The system includes underground plastic pipe, propane motor, cart, and pump — making it a well-improved and efficient setup. The remaining acres consist of productive pasture, creating flexibility for grazing or additional income streams.

Waterfowl enthusiasts will appreciate the 6.57-acre wetlands easement, which can be pumped full in the fall to create a prime duck hunting area. Electricity is available on the north and south sides and runs across the center of the field, making this an excellent place for building a cabin or private retreat.

To top it off, the property is located just 4 miles from the SpringLake Angus Center, offering convenient lodging, food, and drinks!

Whether you're looking for a recreational getaway, a hunting and fishing retreat, a building site with income, or a well-rounded investment property, this Holt County tract checks all the boxes. Opportunities like this don’t come along often — schedule your private tour today!
