1,138 Acres, Brown County – Tinkham Ranch

The Tinkham Ranch is a Nebraska ranch for sale located just North of Johnstown in Brown County, NE. This wildlife wonderland has it all.  There are roughly 692± acres of gentle rolling pasture land with two windmills and two tanks on the grass.  There are approximately 446± acres of awe inspiring forested woods along Plum Creek.  The views are amazing, and there are still remnants of the original farmstead that once existed in a key location near the creek.  There is still good access to the farmstead, and this would be a perfect build site for a new hunting lodge or dream home.

The Tinkham Ranch would make a great starter ranch or recreational getaway with top-notch hunting for Mule Deer, Whitetail Deer, Wild Turkey and even some trapping opportunities.  This ranch has been in the family since 1941, for 81 years.      

The town of Johnstown is a reminder of our past with a unique saloon and rail to tie your horse. The people there are very friendly and willing to help.

Agent notes: While I was on the ranch I noticed that even though this 2022 grazing season held hot and dry conditions, the tenant did not over-graze the land, and the care for the land was evident.  The fence quality is above average and access to the property is good.
