Well-Maintained Brick Ranch on Quarter Section With Commercial Potential

Property Description

Just off Interstate 70 is 147+/- acres of cropland and pasture adorned with a beautiful home. The ranch-style home was built in 1965. Quality construction and pride of ownership are very evident in person. The home is in good shape, is clean, and is ready for a new family legacy. 2 bedrooms and 1 full bathroom upstairs, with a nice-sized living room and open kitchen. The custom cabinetry and natural morning light draw you into the kitchen and lead you outside to the farmyard. The front living room has a stylish stone hearth and picture window that looks out over the long driveway. There is a convenient mud room with laundry and a second bath to kick off boots and clean up after caring for animals. There is a total of 1,466 square feet upstairs. In the full basement, there is some additional finished space, adding an additional 700 square feet. Half of the basement is unfinished, which makes for good storage to keep a house clutter-free. There is also an insulated single-car garage with an opener. The home recently had a septic inspection and is supplied with metered rural water and a drilled water well.

The outbuildings are a mix of construction types. The primary implement storage building was built in 1981 and measures 81’x54’ with two sets of large doors. There is a 60’x40’ tool shed built with cinder blocks and a metal roof. This can also store equipment with sliding doors and cabinets for tools/supplies. There are multiple other functioning buildings, including a lean-to, garage, and horse stable. There is fencing, enclosures and corrals, water hydrants, and electricity run around the farmyard, making this home suitable for you to hit the ground running and start your farming operation. Personal belongings on the property are not included; possession is subject to removals and is negotiable.

The land is balanced and productive. In the center of the property and connected to the water in the farmyard is approximately 85 acres of pasture/hay ground. This could use some fence splicing, but is ready for immediate possession and a good place to winter your cattle. There are some brushy corners on the north and southeast corners of the pasture, whitetail deer and quail were observed. This is not a trophy buck property, but the opportunity to view wildlife out the back door and put some meat on the table is a sure thing.

The homestead consists of 8.72 FSA acres and has fenced enclosures, water sources, livestock shelter, and working facilities. Around the homestead and pasture is 49.42 FSA tillable acres broken down into 4 individual fields. Currently planted to milo, these productive acres would make a great addition to your farming operation. Possession of these planted acres is subject to tenant’s rights. Grow corn, wheat, milo, and soybeans in rotation and graze cattle on stalks or green wheat. The tillable acres consist primarily of Harney Silt Loam with a cumulative average NCCPI of 68. This means above-average grain yields for the region with proper practices and rainfall in place.

At the corner of Interstate 70 and 290th Road is a commercial build site. This is a reclaimed area that once was an active service station. The I-70 and Beverly Interchange store was a Stuckey’s. The bright turquoise roof attracted travelers from the interstate for pecan candies and burger meals as they refueled. The service station closed down in 1978. This area has some pavement infrastructure, its own entrance, and high interstate visibility. The savvy buyer would have a commercial plan for these acres or advertise their business. Stage construction or farming equipment for use/sale. Or, once again, invite travelers to exit and provide essential services like vehicle charging/repair, RV parking, or other related dining services.

This property is truly one of a kind. The home is in excellent condition for its age, the buildings are ready to go to work for your lifestyle, and the land is balanced and productive in the ways the ag economy demands. This would make an ideal home for a young family getting started in agriculture or entrepreneur-minded, with potential for other build sites.
