Build your dream retreat on this beautiful Nebraska acreage for sale, where you can enjoy fantastic fishing, waterfowl, deer, and turkey hunting right off your own front porch! The 1,600-acre Box Butte Reservoir Acreage is one of Nebraska’s best kept secrets in regard to sport fishing; northern pike, walleye, largemouth bass, yellow perch, and channel cat are prolific in this out-of-the way, under-the-radar fishery in the heart of the Nebraska Panhandle.
This 8.72-acre parcel sits adjacent to the lake on the north side. The edge is lined with a nice band of trees providing cover for deer and turkey. Hunting is allowed around and on the lake, so you can hunt waterfowl from the lake’s edge in a portable blind, or pull a boat out on the water or ice and set up an array of decoys for ducks or geese. The lake’s position in the flyway means it is a magnet for migrating waterfowl. The Box Butte State Recreation Area, fed by the Niobrara River, encompasses 2,212 acres on the west edge of the Sandhills, 9 miles north of Hemingford NE. Hunting is allowed on the entire SRA.
For having so much to offer, this lake is very quiet with minimum visitation. All the locals know how great the fishing is here, and they are not telling anyone! As a landowner living close by, you will be amazed by how often you will have the whole lake to yourself. If you build a home on this idyllic spot, you will have an amazing view of migrating waterfowl and resident songbirds, and can watch the whitetail, mule deer, and even an occasional elk graze your yard as they stroll by. The silence is interrupted only by the birds and the breeze rustling through the native grasses. Sunsets and sunrises in this hidden paradise will start and end your days in peaceful beauty.
There is a new boat ramp only minutes from this property, and there are public access roads on the east and west. There is a shore access road that accesses the beach immediately adjacent to this property on the west. Power is easily accessible from power lines along River Road. A well and septic would need to be installed before building.
