Adding to its appeal, this property features 25 acres of dryland cropland, adding a touch of practicality. This cropland not only provides potential income opportunities but also enhances the property's wildlife capacity as it is one of the only destination food sources for wildlife in the immediate area. This farmland also lies in close proximity to the bedding areas for deer and creates a very convenient opportunity for wildlife to bed and feed in the same area, especially during a tough winter. It should also be noted that the owner has recently been approved for irrigation via a nearby canal. Irrigation potential adds value in the form of more production on the agricultural side, while residually creating an even more reliable food source for wildlife. The owner has constructed an agricultural development plan to increase the amount of farmland on the property to allow pivot irrigation. This plan can be found in the photo gallery for this listing.

The plan would increase production and income for a new owner should they want to implement this strategy. The property also includes quality fencing throughout, as well as a good water system. It is ready for cattle to create another income stream should a new owner desire. The property's unique blend of lakeside location, recreational opportunities, and potential income from the cropland makes it a haven for outdoor adventurers and land stewards alike. The location and diversity of the property allows for hunting, fishing, building, and farming all within a localized area. Land with this many opportunities in the same place is very hard to find.

With its proximity to Elwood Reservoir, abundant wildlife, versatile build site options, and the added benefit of cropland, this Nebraska recreational and agricultural property offers a rare chance to experience the best of both worlds – the thrill of the hunt, the serenity of lakeside living, and the practicality of agricultural potential.
