Lot #7 Calamus Build Site
Welcome to one of the most exclusive build opportunities surrounding Calamus Reservoir, a premium 5.02± acre homesite positioned atop the rolling hills, offering expansive views and unmatched access to Nebraska’s natural beauty.
This is a rare opportunity to secure a true legacy property, where elevation, location, and surrounding landscape combine to create a setting that simply cannot be replicated by standard lake-area parcels.
Whether you envision a custom home, a refined weekend retreat, or a thoughtfully designed cabin, this property provides the space, flexibility, and setting to bring that vision to life. Protective Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions (CCRs) are in place to preserve long-term value, aesthetic integrity, and the quality of neighboring improvements—ensuring your investment remains protected.
Positioned directly across from the Calamus Wildlife Management Area, this lot offers immediate proximity to some of Nebraska’s most diverse and active recreational ground:
- Premier hunting for deer, turkey, and waterfowl
- Direct access to public wildlife land for year-round use
- Ideal basecamp for both recreational, seasonal pursuits or a permanent residence
- For water access, you are strategically located:
- ½ mile to Buckshot Bay Boat Ramp
- 1.25 miles to Nunda Shoal Ramp (South Lake Road)
Enjoy everything Calamus Reservoir has to offer, boating, fishing, water skiing, wakeboarding, or simply cruising one of Nebraska’s most desirable lakes. The surrounding area also provides excellent hiking, birdwatching, and year-round outdoor experiences.
- Private, shared lane access enhances both security and seclusion
- Power available along the road via Custer County Power
- High-speed fiber optic internet available through Hamilton Communications
- Gently rolling topography ideal for walk-out builds and view-oriented design
This is not just a recreational lot, it is a build-ready, infrastructure-supported site designed for long-term enjoyment and usability.
Calamus Reservoir properties—particularly those with elevation, views, and proximity to both water and wildlife areas, are increasingly limited and highly sought after. This parcel stands out as a premium-tier offering due to:
- Elevated positioning with reservoir views
- Immediate adjacency to public land
- Privacy via private lane access
- Balanced proximity to recreation and town amenities
This combination supports not only lifestyle use, but also long-term investment strength and desirability.
10 minutes to Burwell, NE for dining, supplies, and local amenities
Approximately:
- 1.5 hours to Kearney & Grand Island
- 2.5 hours to Lincoln
- 3 hours to Omaha
Close enough for convenience—far enough to truly disconnect.
The private lane is a shared drive, and out of respect for ownership and neighboring properties, all showings are by appointment only.
