2,004 Acres, Custer County Trophy Elk Ranch

Located just 5 miles east of Sargent, Nebraska sits the largest high fenced elk operation in the state. The opportunities that exist with this property are limitless, and the genetics of elk that live here are truly remarkable!

The old adage, if you take care of your real estate it will take care of you certainly rings true here. From the quality of the high fencing and exceptional rangSare to the impressive elk and thoughtful design of the property, every aspect has been carefully developed to maximize its potential.

Approximately 300± acres known as the “headquarters” features a custom home, separate cabin that is new and fully furnished, 41×60 shop, a pivot with irrigated acres, 100± acres of non-irrigated cropground, and elk handling/feeding pens, which could possibly be included with the right offer.

Beyond the elk operation, there are outstanding recreational opportunities. There is an abundance of Whitetail deer that thrive on the property along with Wild Turkey under every tree. Enjoy plenty of stock ponds and trails that allow access to all areas of the ranch. 90± acres of dryland on the west side of the property could be improved with a pivot, and this west area would also make the perfect place for a home site with excellent county road access.

Agent Note: There will be approximately 100 head of elk on the property at all times, with the right mix of bulls, cows, and calves depending on the time of purchase. The genetics in this herd produce 600 inch class elk! This is an opportunity to capture a business that is growing in popularity at a high rate. Elk meat is the best and for this reason a business person has the ability to benefit from the commercial sale of the meat from the cows, sell the hunt from the massive bulls, and raise cattle in a beautiful setting.

Agent Note: As of September 4th 2026, there is an unofficial world record bull elk, 25×18 points, on this property. Check out the unofficial world record bull elk in the photos. The picture was taken on 8/1/2026 and has gained 4-6 inches per day for 2 weeks after that.

There are 3 Registered Wells, the west well supplies water to three tanks via pipeline.

The seller runs between 220-250 pairs of cattle through the five month season on the land.

Going rate is $450-$550 a pair for a 5 month grazing season.

Current owners would rent back the land for the grazing season if there is an absentee owner that would need a tenant.

20 Acres, Otter Creek Development Land at Lake McConaughy

This land borders Highway 97 at Otter Creek at Lake McConaughy with much potential! The 20.82 acres is a prime location and would make an excellent home site for a future “dream home.” Sand Creek flows through the center of the land, and with some sweat equity could be developed for waterfowl hunting potential! Currently the creek flows, but with some excavation work this area could hold a considerable amount of water that would be super attractive for waterfowl. In years past, this location did hold an abundance of waterfowl, providing protection from the elements. This property is very close to Lake McConaughy that holds tens of thousands of migrating ducks and geese annually.

Otter Creek at Lake McConaughy is a great location as there is a boat ramp to access the lake and a very popular restaurant that has serviced the area for decades, as well as a convenience store.

Agent Note: There is a domestic well on the land that sits in the perfect location above the creek, which could allow someone to add holding water to the creek area and provide water for a home to be built next to it. The well is not registered and would need to be inspected by a professional well driller. Electricity is provided by Wheat Built out of Sidney, NE.

There is dedicated access to the land next to a municipality easement! Other access possibilities are being researched at this time.

Agent Note: The south boundary line that faces Highway 97 is zoned commercial with the remaining portion zoned agriculture which could easily be zoned residential when the time comes.

206 Acres, Holt County, Niobrara River Sportsmans Retreat

Niobrara River Sportsman’s Retreat is a true multi-use property that can be enjoyed during the Spring, Summer, and Fall with fishing, hiking, exploring, and air boating along the Niobrara River, or relaxing by the rustic cabin while taking in the beautiful views. During the Fall and Winter, enjoy hunting opportunities including waterfowl, whitetail deer, turkey, and many trapping opportunities as well.

The property has a dynamic layout with access off county highway 281 where the road ends at a private, lockable gate. Approximately 20± acres of tillable ground provide an ideal location for harvesting trophy deer from the perfectly elevated redneck blind. Thousands of Canada geese inhabit the area, creating exceptional hunting opportunities. Installing a pit to hunt the geese out of the alfalfa field, which is a primary food source for the geese, would add to the hunting experience. Electricity is available near the pond, making it possible to install an ice eater to keep water open during cold weather, attracting ducks and geese while allowing hunters to harvest geese from the nearby alfalfa field without disturbing them.

Agent Note: This is a top-notch retreat with excellent access to the famed Niobrara River corridor. The property was surveyed in 2017. It is located approximately 20 miles north of O’Neill, Nebraska, which offers restaurants, bars, shopping, market, a hospital, and Handlebend, a manufacturer of copper mugs sold worldwide. O’Neill is a staple for a fun Nebraska town with approximately 3,000 people. There is a municipal airport in O’Neill, Nebraska. The phone number is: (402) 336-3377.
