Generational Opportunity on Buckner Creek

Property Description

Midwest Land Group is proud to bring one of the most impressive properties in this region of the state to market for the first time in decades. This quarter-section in Hodgeman County offers more than other ranches four times its size in the area. Boasting multiple dwellings, vested water rights, lucrative oil income, premium bottom ground, live water, and excellent hunting—all conveniently located just a short drive from town and multiple local reservoirs—you simply won’t find a better all-around package.

Of the total acreage, 64.22 +/- acres are deemed cultivated by the FSA, with a very impressive NCCPI of 73.8. The entirety of this acreage consists of high-quality Class II soils. The current tenant plants wheat, milo, and corn, and would like to plant portions in alfalfa if approved by the new owner.

The farm includes two branches of the Bruckner creek system that traverse the property and conjoin at the southeast corner. The creek flows year-round and provides water for wildlife and ample fishing opportunities. A variety of fish can be caught as water flows from nearby reservoirs into the property. The seller has caught largemouth bass, bluegill, sunfish, catfish, white bass, and other fish stocked in the reservoirs.

There are nearly 800 yards of shelter-belts along the northern and eastern boundaries, providing complete privacy from the county road. The habitat is highly diverse for the region, with mature timber, native grasses and shrubs, manicured edges, and food plots.

Given the property's rich habitat, it’s no surprise that the hunting is phenomenal. The seller has meticulously maintained the land with bow hunting and conservation in mind. The property is home to whitetail deer, Rio Grande turkeys, and upland birds—all of which are frequently seen from the front porch. Multiple tree stands and feeders are set up and included in the sale.

This property is the site of an original homestead dating back over 100 years, with the original sandstone home still standing. The main house is a 3-bedroom, 3-bath home with an unfinished basement, totaling 1,746 square feet. An additional limestone house, remodeled in 2004, serves as a guest house or man cave.

A 40'x80' metal building provides ample storage for equipment and vehicles. Various metal grain bins are also located on-site.

This property has vested water rights dating back to 1945, offering the potential for a new owner to reestablish irrigated cultivation. Water rights are recorded under:

• HG 31-00: 80 AF / 1,000 GPM
• HG 71-00: 40 AF / 300 GPM
