There are two windmill operated wells on the property (one is currently not operating and will be serviced soon). The Loup Basin Reclamation District owns the ground to the south and utilizes the area as a canal holding pond. There is an agreement in place that allows for the fence line boundary to be south of the actual boundary, allowing the cattle to utilize this overflow from the canal and graze an additional 25+/- acres of which 11+/- acres is the pond. For those looking for hunting ground with income potential in central Nebraska, this is it. Various wildlife tracks have been found on the property. You can expect pheasant, quail, turkey, whitetail and mule deer hunting. Hilltop Hunting Lodge is located on the east boundary line of this property. The overflow from the canal adds another element to keep deer and other wildlife coming back.
