909 W Ash Creek Road , Crawford, NE 69339(Dawes County)

Located 9.5 miles southeast of Crawford, Nebraska, sits one of Dawes County’s few acreages that borders close to 20,000 acres of national forest. Public land borders three sides of this rare opportunity. This beautiful 47.56 acres provides privacy, public access, and serenity. Imagine every morning walking out your front door to a gorgeous stocked trout pond, deep ridge draws, and all the outdoor opportunities such as horseback trail riding, mountain biking, big game hunting, and hiking.The original owner’s vision showcases the primary use to utilize the public lands directly from your front door. As you come up the trail roa,d you are met with a 2,016 sq ft horse/shop building fitted for three internal corrals. Outside a covered corral gives your horses protection from the elements as well as room to move out into the exterior corral area. Also included is a custom tack room, tool shop, and double doors on each side of the building to pull your entire trailer unit inside without having to back in.Further up the trail, you will find what makes this property so special, and that is the cozy 1,296 sq ft log cabin. This two-bedroom and one-bathroom cabin has an open concept living room/kitchen with exposed rafters that give you that mountain cabin feel. As you walk through the home, you will notice a stone fireplace to warm your feet by the fire. The cabin is also heated by electric and propane heating. New windows were installed in 2018, as well as the roof. Cell service is weak in the canyons; satellite internet would be needed. Next to the home is a two-door detached garage with a small living area at the back of the structure. There are large sliding doors that can open up the living unit and be utilized for entertaining and accommodating guests visiting the Fort Robinson area. The living area features a shower, toilet, propane heater, hot water heater, and sink. If you’re a gardener, you have plenty of planting to do on this property, with a designated gardening area with a tool hut to hold equipment and seed. There is a flower garden next to the cabin that also includes an enclosed dog run that protects your pups from the elements, and they have access to get into the home. Now is the time to purchase this property at a fair price point.The current owner has put lots of time and effort into developing this property. There are improvements that can be added, such as tower blinds, food plots, water tanks, and feeders. This property is great to take the kids shooting or just ride your UTV at sunset, you don’t have to travel to far to have a piece of land to call your own. This tract of land is large enough for long days spent in your insulated tower blind waiting for that mature mule deer to come feed on your food plots and be home before lunch, but it won't break the bank.*The family does have a small cemetery on the property with an easement to visit a buried family member, and would like to have continuing visiting rights once or twice a year to visit their beloved family member. Viewing by appointment only.
