Introducing the Platte River Paradise, 448.7 +/- acres located in Merrick County, Nebraska, nestled up next to the stunning Platte River! This unique piece of land not only provides a beautiful backdrop but also combines grazing potential with a recreational paradise, making it an ideal investment for those seeking both beauty and functionality. This prime river frontage property is perfect for a variety of uses. It consists of native grasses, ponds, sloughs, and timber along the river channels. Whether you envision running a thriving cattle operation or developing recreational activities, the possibilities are endless. This tract has been logged in the past ten years and approximately 394 +/- acres are enrolled in a Wetlands Reserve Program. There are enough acres outside the easement that a buyer could build a structure as well. The property includes seven cross-fenced cattle pastures, designed for intensive grazing. This setup not only optimizes land use but also promotes sustainable livestock management. Each pasture features a buried waterline, ensuring a reliable water source for your cattle, which can significantly enhance productivity. In addition to the opportunities to run cattle, this property offers an array of possibilities that cater to avid outdoorsmen! The Platte River is renowned for its world-class whitetail deer, waterfowl, and turkey hunting, and this property will not disappoint hunters. The native grasses act as a major bedding area for deer. This area has a history of growing big deer, housing lots of turkeys, and being a great flyway for ducks and geese. This property also allows you to explore and access the river by jeeping, air boating, or riding four-wheelers while having a "home base" and place to get in and out. One of the standout features of this property is the two bridges that provide reliable access across the river channels. Built to accommodate heavy equipment, these bridges ensure seamless movement throughout the land, enhancing its usability for agricultural and recreational purposes. Platte River ground is extremely rare and highly sought after. It's not very often that you have the opportunity to own a 448.7 +/- acre island. Whether you're an outdoorsman, a cattle rancher, or simply seeking a gorgeous escape, the Platte River Paradise property is a must-see! It is located 6 +/- miles from Central City, 18 +/- miles from Grand Island, 61 +/- miles from Kearney, 91 +/- miles from Lincoln and 121 +/- miles from Omaha. All showings are by appointment only.
