About this property
This truly is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to own a portion of Black Dog Bend - an iconic property with a rich history as a true sportsman's paradise. Known for producing top-end whitetails and offering incredible waterfowl, turkey, and upland hunting, this property is a rare find along the Missouri River corridor. This Missouri River tract offers a distinctive ownership opportunity with land located on both sides of the state line - all protected by the river and situated on its east side. The primary parcel is deeded in Nebraska but accessed from Iowa. It features substantial buildable ground, portions enrolled in the Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP), and additional acres with agricultural potential. Included are 85.96± deeded acres in Iowa, expanding the overall footprint and providing even more diverse recreational opportunities. The Nebraska portion boasts riverfrontage, exceptional wildlife habitat, and buildable acreage suitable for cabins, sheds, or other improvements (subject to county regulations). With open fields, wetland sloughs, and mixed timber, this tract supports a wide range of uses and explains its consistent history of trophy whitetails, strong turkey populations, and impressive numbers of waterfowl. What sets this property apart is the unmatched consistency of its hunting success. Numerous high-end deer have been harvested here, and turkey numbers remain excellent. Upland game has rarely been hunted, yet pheasant populations are strong. Waterfowl hunting, already exceptional, becomes world-class when nearby waters freeze - and the natural bend in the river makes this an ideal stopover for migrating ducks and geese. The current owners have even enhanced conditions by pumping sheet water into certain areas, creating exceptional results. Whether hunting dry fields or flooded sloughs, this property has the proven formula for success and the potential to be developed into a premier waterfowl destination. The Iowa acres add valuable diversity and flexibility, with the ability to utilize tags from either state within the same property boundaries. Located in Iowa's non-resident deer zone 3, it currently offers the best draw odds for non-resident hunters. The property's balance of conservation, recreation, and agricultural use - including potential hay production - makes it truly versatile. A well-maintained trail system throughout ensures easy access to all areas. Location is key, and this property delivers both convenience and seclusion. Just a short drive from the Omaha/Council Bluffs metro area, you can escape city life and enjoy your private outdoor retreat in no time. Long held in the same family, Black Dog Bend has provided generations of memories and stands ready for its next steward. This is a legacy property - one you must see to fully appreciate.

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.
