The Hidden Canyon Ranch is arguably the most scenic and well appointed recreational/working ranch ownership opportunity in Nebraska and is among an elite few anywhere. There are only a handful of ranches in the west that can deliver the “WOW!” factor – and this one does! The western elegance and beauty of its setting is breathtaking. The Hidden Canyon Ranch is truly in rarified air and is definitely fitting of the title “Trophy Ranch.” The custom home and national park-like setting immediately surrounding it alone may be worth the price tag. If this is the case you get the 2,572 acres +/- of timbered canyons, fabulous wildlife viewing or hunting, well built working purebred cattle/horse facilities and 2 second homes thrown in for free! Opportunities like this come along once in a lifetime and you may be the one with the wisdom, vision and means to make it your Trophy to a life of accomplishment. The ranch is currently used as a purebred cattle operation with an owner rated capacity of 200 pairs with supplemental feeding for a seven to eight month grazing period with one to two months of winter grazing. There is a two year old steel built barn approximately 40' x 80' with 12' x 80' overhang and has two - 12' x 12' overhead doors and one – 8' x 12' overhead door. This building is designed for either a horse and/or cattle operation. Protective wood paneling (2” x 6” tongue and groove) reaching 6 feet high inside the open access shelter protects the walls and structure. There is another 40’ x 80’ heavy duty all steel shop with concrete floors, a 15’ overhead door and a walk in door. Pipe and cable working corrals and alleys outside with new frost free automatic Ritchie water (5) make operation easy to operate and maintain. The ranch is fenced into 10 pastures allowing for rotational grazing to maximize production and ecosystem improvement. There is a nice balance between warm and cool season grasses providing for excellent weight gain for cattle throughout the grazing season. Abundant wildlife finds a home on the ranch's 19 timbered canyons including trophy mule and whitetail deer. The timbered canyons feature numerous varieties of trees including cedar, pine, cottonwood, willow and hackberry trees, with currant berry bushes present as well. While the wild turkey population is thriving and flourishing in the numerous canyons, there are other small game species including waterfowl, pheasants, grouse and doves that call this home. Bald eagles, many hawk species, blue herons and egrets can also be seen on the ranch. The large pond system in front of the house is stocked with trophy bass, catfish and blue gill. If the deer and turkey hunting can’t draw you away from the comfort of this house surely the fishing will!
