About this property
Snell Canyon Road Ranch, Lincoln County NE PROPERTY HIGHLIGHTS: Located 12 miles southwest of Brady, NE on Snell Canyon Road in southeastern Lincoln County, NE 1,477+/- taxed acres Enrolled in the Box Elder District of the Game and Parks Elk management Program Cross Fenced for grazing. Carrying capacity of 130 - 150 cow calf pairs for summer grazing The Loess Canyon region of southeastern Lincoln County is known for it's very diverse and unique ecosystem and this ranch sits in the middle of the region. With a mix of narrow gulches and steep canyons this property offers opportunities for livestock grazing and big game hunting. County maintained Snell Canyon Road traverses through the property and Government Pocket Road traverses the southwestern portion. Rural public power is located on the property along the road. An older building site includes an older house and outbuildings with an electric submersible well and power. No one has lived at the property for many years. There is an additional point on the ranch that includes a calving barn and gathering pens. There is a submersible well at this barn as well. Stock water is provided by a series of stock tanks serviced by a water pipeline and windmills. The water pipeline is supplied water from the submersible well at the building site. The stock tanks are equipped with water valve and float systems. The property is cross fenced for grazing management. The western portion of the ranch has had some management of the cedar trees through the years however the eastern portion has had little management of the cedars. This mix of tree cover lends the property to being diverse for both livestock grazing and big game hunting. Historically and depending on rain fall, the ranch has a carrying capacity of 130 - 150 cow calf pairs for a 5.5 month summer grazing season. Most of the perimeter of the ranch is fenced with barbed wire on wooded posts and cross fenced with the same. The eastern side of the ranch is fenced with a high fence game type of fence. It should be noted that as common with some Loess Canyon ranches, the perimeter fences are not on the actual rectangular survey lines. The fences are actually placed for convenience and there is some give and take between neighbor for land use. Annual precipitation rate in this region is 20-22". Please note that this Ranch is comprised of two different family ownerships and will sell together as one combination unit. The ranch is available for full possession to the Buyer at closing for the 2026 grazing season. This property lies within the Box Elder Elk Unit of the State of Nebraska Game and Parks Management system. Hunting opportunities on the ranch include white tail and mule deer, elk, turkey, turtle dove and the trapping of fur baring animals. More information on the hunting seasons and permit regulations in Nebraska can be found in the link below.

LOCATION: 12 miles southwest of Brady, NE on Snell Canyon Road. Below is a Google Maps location pin to the property. LOESS CANYON REGION OF NEBRASKA This unique ecosystem located south of the Platte River valley and southeast of North Platte is comprised of about 340,000 acres of silty soils, which long ago eroded into narrow gulches and steep canyons. These hills support mixed-grass prairie and scattered cropland. The mixed-grass prairies have been highly invaded by eastern red cedars in recent decades. Though the cedars have limited the grazing capacity of the rangeland they have created fantastic wildlife habitat for elk, mule deer, whitetail deer, turkey and many species of fur baring animals including coyote, bobcat and raccoon. Upland bird hunting including prairie chicken and grouse is also active in this region. NORTH PLATTE AND REGIONAL INFORMATION Brady and Maxwell as communities have limited services. Brady and Maxwell Public Schools are K-12 schools. North Platte is the County seat of Lincoln County. It is home to a Regional hospital and nearly all the services one could want.

Buyer checklist
Questions worth investigating for any farm or ranch purchase. They are not claims that this property has a problem or meets any condition.
- Legal accessIs there deeded or recorded access to a public road, and are there easements across the land (or that the land relies on)?
- Water rights and wellsA well, pond, creek or irrigation system does not by itself establish a legal right to use the water. Ask for the water right, permit or registration documents and test the well.
- Leases and tenanciesAre there farm, grazing, hunting, CRP, oil and gas or wind leases? Some survive a sale or require notice before they end.
- Soil and usable landHow many acres can actually be cropped or grazed? Check the NRCS soil survey and get a current lab soil test for the use you plan.
- RestrictionsZoning, conservation easements, deed restrictions, HOA rules, floodplain and wetland rules can limit what you can do.
- Building conditionBarns, fences, wells and septic systems need inspection; a listed building may not suit a commercial or livestock use.
- UtilitiesPower, water, septic capacity, internet and road maintenance: who provides them and at what cost.
- What is included in the saleEquipment, growing crops, stored hay, livestock, irrigation equipment, permits and farm program contracts are often separate. Get it in writing.
