Keya Paha County Ranch

Ranch Description

This is a fantastic, high quality Keya Paha County Ranch. The Ranch features two sets of improvements, each with a lovely home and tornado shelter. The first dwelling is built within a 60' x 120' insulated, concrete-floored steel building. The steel building has full electrical hookups, plumbing, and sewer improvements that can service an RV within the steel building, as well as the apartment home within. The four bedroom apartment within, built in 2013, has 2,850 sq ft of beautifully appointed, professionally finished living area. It has a large living area open to the kitchen. A large island divides the living area from the kitchen area, providing workspace and seating. The apartment is beautiful, and while the Owner has utilized this space as part-time living quarters, it could easily serve as a full time home. The ranch manager's home was built in 2013, and consists of a 1,728 sq. ft. modular home with a full finished basement. The basement has a large family room, two bedrooms, and a 3/4 bath. It is exceptionally clean, well-maintained, and still looks brand new, There is an attached 2-car garage to this structure and on the same premises. There is a good steel calving barn, a good steel machine shed shop and a very workable set of corrals and loading chutes as well as a crowding alley. These are excellent working improvements, The owner has installed 18 miles of new fencing in the last 3 years. There are 10 cross-fenced pastures. There is a total of 6 submersible wells throughout the ranch and improvement sites. There are 19 separate tank sites with underground water supplied to each. According to the Keya Paha County Assessor's Office, there are 406 dry crop acres and 1,874 acres of hardland range. The owner has conservatively run 175 pairs year round on this ranch. It has more than enough winter feed to take care of the cattle in the off season grazing period. There is also a small feedlot on the property. The ranch manager who is currently on the premises is an excellent manager. The manager would like to stay on and work with the new Owner. You would have to look long and hard to find a better maintained and efficient ranch set-up. The 1,874 acres of good hardland grass is relatively free of cedars and yuccas. The 406 acres of dryland crop ground has excellent soils, and with 20-22 inches of annual rainfall, it has been very productive hay ground. There was a fire several years ago in the canyon areas, which eradicated many of the cedars, opening up much more of the land for good grass growth and excellent grazing. There is an abundance of Mule Deer and White-tailed Deer on the property, as well as Wild Turkey and other forms of upland game. This is an excellent opportunity to own a fine Nebraska ranch with a great deal to offer.
