Entire Farm Description:

Ranch & Farm Auctions is offering 508.63± acres of Lancaster County, Nebraska, farmland in four tracts, giving buyers the flexibility to bid on a single tract or piece together a larger farming or investment operation. The land lies in the rolling ground west of Agnew and south of Valparaiso, in the heart of the Little Salt Creek and Oak Creek drainage that feeds Branched Oak Lake. Lincoln is approximately 23 miles to the southeast, putting the farm within easy reach of the city while keeping the rural feel.

Across the four tracts, you’ll find a mix of productive row crop ground, pasture, and mature timber, along with two farm homesteads, grain storage, and a shop building. Soils across the offering run primarily to Aksarben silty clay loam and Yutan silty clay loam, with NCCPI ratings ranging from the high 50s to the low 60s depending on the tract. Every tract carries road frontage on at least two sides, and each has power either along the road or runs to existing improvements, simplifying future development or continued operation.

Tract 1 (77.19± acres) combines corn ground, grass, and mature timber along Little Salt Creek, with road frontage on two sides and power along the north line. Tract 2 (76.97± acres) offers corn and pasture along with a 1920-built, 1,872 square foot two-story farmhouse (selling as-is). Tract 3 (157.88± acres) is the most intensively farmed of the four, with grass and row crop ground, grain bins, and two-sided road frontage. Tract 4 (196.59± acres) rounds out the offering with grass acres, grain production acres, a 1960-built ranch home (selling as-is), and a 48x104 shop.

For hunters and outdoor enthusiasts, the timbered draws and creek corridors running through several of the tracts add recreational value alongside the farm income, and the proximity to Branched Oak Lake State Recreation Area puts boating, fishing, and additional public hunting ground just minutes away. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a meaningful block of Lancaster County farmland, whether the goal is to expand a farming operation or invest in productive Nebraska ground.

Located approximately 3 miles west of Agnew and roughly 23 miles from Lincoln, Tract 1 sits just a short drive from Branched Oak Lake, adding recreational opportunities to its value.
