Along the quiet bends of the Republican River, where towering cottonwoods shade river bottoms and the sound of
moving water defines the landscape, lies one of Southwest Nebraska’s most remarkable privately held ranch properties.

The KJ River Ranch, located in Red Willow County, represents nearly six decades of dedicated family stewardship. Carefully managed and meticulously cared for, this extraordinary 752± acre legacy property combines productive irrigated farmland, undisturbed river habitat, and an exceptionally scenic homesite into a rare offering seldom available on today’s market.

Properties of this caliber—where agricultural productivity, recreational opportunity, and natural beauty converge—are becoming increasingly difficult to find, particularly along the highly sought-after corridor of the Republican River.

A Landscape Defined by Water, Timber, and Productive Soil

The KJ River Ranch stretches across a diverse landscape shaped by the Republican River. Productive bottomland soils support irrigated fields while expansive stands of mature cottonwood and hardwood timber create a secluded river corridor rich with wildlife habitat.

The property is thoughtfully configured into two primary parcels, each contributing distinct value and character to the overall ranch.

West Parcel
557± Acres

The West Parcel forms the agricultural and wildlife backbone of the ranch, offering a balanced blend of productive cropland and extensive timbered river bottom.

North of the River
● 62 Acres – Center Pivot Irrigation
● 60 Acres – Gravity Irrigation
● 42 Acres – Dryland Cropland
● 252 Acres – Mature Timber & River Bottom Habitat

These acres feature river-bottom soils supported by irrigation from the Republican River basin. The surrounding timber and river corridor create a secluded environment that provides outstanding wildlife cover and travel corridors.

South of the River
● 44 Acres – Gravity Irrigated Cropland
● 49 Acres – Dryland Cropland
● 45 Acres – Timber & River Bottom

East Parcel

195± Acres | Homesite & Recreational Retreat

The East Parcel serves as the lifestyle centerpiece of the ranch, anchored by a peaceful homesite overlooking a
private sandpit lake, surrounded by numerous other fishing and swimming lakes, and overlooking the agricultural
fields and untouched river bottom.

Homesite

A rustic two-bedroom, three-bath home sits on approximately 19± acres, positioned to capture sweeping views across a secluded private sandpit lake framed by mature trees and natural river-bottom landscape.

The setting offers exceptional privacy and tranquility—ideal for a full-time residence, hunting lodge, or weekend
retreat.

East Parcel Land Composition
● 66 Acres – Center Pivot Irrigation
● 5 Acres – Dryland Cropland
● 91 Acres – Timber & Republican River Bottom
● 13 Acres – Grassland

The combination of productive farmland and natural habitat provides both income potential and year-round
recreational enjoyment.

Exceptional Wildlife Habitat
The KJ River Ranch lies within one of Southwest Nebraska’s most desirable wildlife corridors. The extensive timber,
riparian habitat, and agricultural food sources create an ideal environment for thriving populations of:
● Trophy Whitetail Deer
● Wild Turkey
● Waterfowl along the Republican River
● Upland Game

The diversity of cover, water, and forage makes this property particularly attractive for serious hunters and outdoor enthusiasts.

Agricultural Strength

Beyond its recreational appeal, the ranch maintains a strong agricultural foundation with pivot irrigated, gravity irrigated, and dryland cropland supported by productive soils and reliable water resources.

The irrigated acres provide excellent potential for corn, soybeans, and forage production, complementing the
overall balance of income generation and land stewardship.

A Generational Opportunity

The KJ River Ranch is far more than simply a land purchase—it is a generational property where agricultural
productivity, outdoor recreation, and natural beauty converge along one of Nebraska’s most cherished river systems.

After nearly 60 years of continuous family ownership, this extraordinary ranch now presents a rare opportunity for
a new owner to carry forward the tradition of stewardship and enjoy everything that life along the Republican River
has to offer.

Opportunities to acquire a property of this size, diversity, and legacy along the Republican River are exceedingly rare.

KJ River Ranch stands ready to become the next great Nebraska legacy property.
