South Platte 140

Ranch Description

140 Acres - South Platte River Frontage

Sedgwick, Colorado -A rare chance to own a premier South Platte River property in northeast Colorado. This 140 acre tract sits just outside Sedgwick and offers nearly half a mile of river frontage on both sides-a feature seldom found and highly sought after in this region. Long-term ownership and the scarcity of quality river-bottom parcels make this an exceptional opportunity for recreational buyers.

Land

The 140+/- acres lies within a WRP Wetlands Reserve Program easement, enhancing its native habitat and supporting a wide range of wildlife. The restored wetlands and upland grasses provide excellent upland bird habitat, while the river corridor itself is a magnet for migrating waterfowl. Early-season teal pour into the backwaters and pools of the South Platte, and as winter sets in, mallards and puddle ducks concentrate heavily along this stretch of the Platte. This region of Colorado is a major Canada Goose and Snow Goose flyway.

Beyond its strong waterfowl appeal, the mature cottonwood stands, thick river-bottom cover, and secluded river banks make ideal habitat for whitetail deer and wild turkeys. The property's isolation, near by food sources, and cover make it a consistent producer of quality deer and an attractive roosting and travel area for turkeys.

A 5-acre building envelope included within the WRP boundary allows a future owner the ability subject to Fema Flood Plain guidelines and requirements, to construct a cabin, lodge, or shop-an extremely valuable feature for a protected property of this kind. Additionally, a domestic water tap is being sold with the property, providing a ready water source for future improvements.

The parcel also includes access to multiple wells, offering the option for a buyer to re-enroll them in the local well users association if they choose, adding flexibility for water management or potential habitat enhancements.

With unmatched river frontage, exceptional habitat diversity, and key improvement rights already in place, this property is a standout recreational offering in northeastern Colorado. It is ideally suited for the avid waterfowl hunter, wildlife manager, or a buyer seeking a legacy river-bottom retreat.
