592 Acres, Keith County, Alkali Game Reserve
Alkali game reserve on the South Platte River near Roscoe, Nebraska is one of the highest quality river properties that has been available for sale in many years.
Many trees have been removed throughout the property, opening up areas along the river for strutting tom turkeys to roam as well as whitetail and mule deer. The area outside the accretion ground to the North provides many recreational opportunities for waterfowl. There is a slough, four solar wells, and a pond that could provide the perfect roost spot for migrating birds. The pond could easily be enlarged to host more birds as well. The three miles of river corridor is amazing water for ducks and geese. The South Platte River has a perfect flow for waterfowl to get sand after feeding, and is also used as a roost.
The West side of the property has roughly 180± acres of dryland corn that would make the perfect space for a goose pit to hunt both ducks and geese as the birds fly east/west through that area in abundance. A new owner could easily expand the agriculture by planting more corn and/or alfalfa. With three miles of property, there is potential to install more in-ground blinds giving more opportunities for hunting either side of the existing pond/slough without disturbing roosting waterfowl.
In summary, Alkali Game Reserve is what its name suggests. This is a top notch hunting property with mixed bag potential, good income, and excellent water sources. When other properties are out of water this one shines.
History: This area has deep roots in western history. The Alkali Station was a stopping place on the Overland Trail during the 1800’s. It also served as a Pony Express station in 1860-61. The station provided many settlers and travelers with food, water, and shelter. During the Civil War the Alkali Station became an Army post, and several battles were fought here. A historical marker, just North of the property, describes the full breadth of history here.
