23 Phelps St, Crawford, NE 69339

Welcome to the PINE RIDGE AREA OF NW NEBRASKA! A place where many have dreams of living but rural listings are hard to find. For the outdoor lover the Pine Ridge is one of the most beautiful, peaceful and fun places to be. There's camping, hiking, biking, horseback riding, fishing, hunting and history here but without the large population and crowds. Here is a rare opportunity to own a country home, some land, and have access to all that the Pine Ridge has to offer. There are over 100,000 acres of State and Federal lands with public access including the Ponderosa Wildlife Management Area, Soldier Creek Wilderness Area, Chadron State Park, Fort Robinson State Park and more. It's a fun region to visit and an even better place to live! This property would make a fun get-away spot while you hunt and play in the Pine Ridge, or make it a full-time residence for you and your animals. LOCATION: This nearly 13-acre property sits just south of Belmont, a historic site 11 miles S.E. of Crawford and is only 2 miles off the highway on a well-maintained county road. The views of the surrounding Pine Ridge are beautiful! The historic Belmont Tunnel and railroad are nearby but no need to worry about train noise; they pass by down on the low ground and aren't heard from inside the house. There are no crossings close enough to hear a whistle blow either. It's a beautiful and peaceful location with unobstructed views. DISTANCE to cities: CRAWFORD 11, CHADRON 35, ALLIANCE 50, SCOTTSBLUFF 67, RAPID CITY 130, CASPER 173, DENVER 260. LAND & HAY: The pasture is gently rolling and easy to hay. The grass is a mixture including crested wheat and a little alfalfa. On a wet year it will put up 5 ton or you can just use it for grazing. The exterior fences are in place and with a little maintenance can be ready for your livestock. MAIN HOUSE: This 1980 stick built home has a cozy feel with 912 sq' on the main floor and a full, partially finished, walk-out basement. A 2009 addition created a large master bedroom with access to a spacious deck offering fabulous views. Its currently a 2-bedroom home, 1 up and 1 down, but there is plenty of room in the basement to add a couple more. There are 2 bathrooms with the basement bath being in an unfinished area but still serving its purpose. If a bigger house is desired there's plenty of space to add on. The property is all electric except for a free-standing stove in the family room that can burn coal or wood. Central Heat & AC. The home has already had some updates and will be getting a new metal roof and some siding repair done soon. More pictures of the basement will be available after storage items are moved. TRAILER HOUSE: a 1976 single wide trailer with 2 beds and 1 bath sits along the edge of the property and was lived in 3 years ago but is now being used as storage. Owner's state that with some work it can be livable again. CARPORT & SHED: Next to the main house is a 20 x 20 x 10 carport on a cement slab and a little shed for a chicken coop. Next to the trailer sits a 2003 10x12x8 storage shed. INTERNET & UTILITIES: Fiber Optic internet is on its way! Owners currently use Verizon for cell service and internet with excellent service but Fiber Optic is coming soon, possibly in March. Electricity is provided by Northwest Rural Public Power District, the well is privately owned, and the septic tank is concrete with an updated drain field installed about 10 years ago.
