About this property
40 Acres, More or Less Knox County, Nebraska Recreational Land with Verdigre Creek, Wetlands, Timber & Potential Cabin Site This approximately 40-acre recreational tract, subject to completion of a survey, offers a rare opportunity to own a smaller parcel with excellent paved highway access, scenic views, abundant wildlife, and direct proximity to the Verdigre Creek. The property consists of approximately 33 acres of wetlands enrolled in the Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP) and approximately 7 acres of cropland currently seeded to alfalfa. The alfalfa acreage provides an attractive potential building or recreational site, with portions of the property situated above the flood zone and offering scenic views overlooking the Verdigre Creek and surrounding hills. This area could provide an excellent location for a cabin, weekend retreat, or RV campsite, subject to applicable restrictions, permits, and floodplain requirements. Wildlife and recreational opportunities are abundant. The property provides excellent habitat for whitetail deer and wild turkey, with mature hardwood timber, natural cover, wetlands, and plentiful water resources. The marsh and wetland areas also provide habitat and potential hunting opportunities for waterfowl. Located adjacent to the Verdigre Creek, the property is conveniently situated just minutes from the Niobrara River and Missouri River corridors, providing access to some of northeast Nebraska's most scenic and recreational areas. The property is also located near Niobrara State Park and within the designated Niobrara National Scenic River area. Small recreational tracts with this combination of paved access, creek frontage, wetlands, timber, wildlife habitat, and potential recreational homesite are increasingly difficult to find and rarely become available on the open market.

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.
