Platte 292 Rec.
Two and a Half miles west of Columbus, NE, on the North side of the Loup River, sits a 292.4 +/- acre property which offers an exceptional combination of income production, diverse wildlife habitat, and outstanding recreational potential.

At the east end of the property, 45.41 acres are enrolled in CRP, generating $4,936 annually. A centrally located box blind overlooks the CRP, where heavy cover and well-used game trails create outstanding habitat for deer, turkeys, and pheasants, making this portion of the property a true hunter’s paradise.

Approximately 73 acres of pasture run through the heart of the farm, adding potential for additional income. The pasture is fully fenced, with several sections recently upgraded to new four-strand barbed wire. A cased solar stock well supports healthy cattle grazing and enhances the pasture's overall functionality.

The southern portion of the property consists of thick timber and over three-quarters of a mile of Loup River-frontage, providing ideal habitat for whitetail deer and turkeys. The river corridor also offers excellent waterfowl potential, serving as a natural travel route and resting area for migrating ducks and geese. With the strategic placement of blinds and the addition of food plots or shallow-water areas, this stretch of river will provide consistent waterfowl-hunting opportunities. Multiple tree stands and blinds are already in place along heavily traveled trails for big game hunting.

Along the northern end are approximately 60 acres of Hay meadow, adding to the property's income potential. These 60 acres would also be the perfect area devoted to food plots and sanctuary bedding cover for wildlife, allowing you to keep and hold more game on your property.

Situated at the end of a dirt road, the property offers outstanding seclusion and privacy. With river frontage, diverse habitat types, and multiple income streams, this property is a rare opportunity for hunters, investors, and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
