Private Country Living with Exceptional Views | Trenton, Nebraska
Welcome to your own private slice of Southwest Nebraska, where wide-open spaces, unmatched views, and thoughtfully designed improvements come together to create a truly special property.
This well-maintained 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home offers a functional and inviting layout designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The main level features two additional bedrooms along with a spacious master suite, complete with a private bath that conveniently connects to the mudroom/laundry room just off the oversized garage, an ideal setup for rural living.
At the center of the home is a bright open-concept kitchen and dining area that flows seamlessly into the main living space, creating a warm, functional layout designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Large windows frame the expansive northern views, bringing the outdoors in and making the space feel open and connected to the land.
Just steps away, the large back deck becomes a true extension of the home, a place where you can enjoy quiet mornings with coffee or unwind in the evenings while taking in the incredible scenery. It’s not uncommon to see deer, strutting tom turkeys, and upland birds moving right through the backyard, offering a front-row seat to Nebraska’s natural beauty.
The thoughtful flow of the home makes it equally well-suited as a full-time residence or a seasonal retreat. With its comfortable layout, low-maintenance setting, and close proximity to Swanson Reservoir, this property provides the perfect balance, whether you’re living here year-round or escaping to enjoy boating, fishing, and hunting just minutes away.
Additionally, the unfinished walk-out basement provides excellent opportunities for future expansion and already includes a fully finished bathroom, allowing for easy customization to fit your needs.
