About this property
Middle Canyon Pasture & Recreation runs approximately 275 acres just south of Eustis, in Frontier County, Nebraska, with roughly 65 acres in dryland farm ground and the remaining 210 or so in grass, pasture, and recreational country. The property carries real production and real wildlife use on the same ground, and neither one crowds out the other, which is what sets it apart from a straight farm listing or a straight recreational tract.The farm ground sits on one end of the property and has been in production for years, giving a buyer working acres that can stay in the same use going forward without any transition period or added investment to bring them back into shape. From there the land opens into pasture that has carried cattle for years, with the seller reporting roughly 35 cow-calf pairs in a dry year and 40 to 42 pairs in a normal one, numbers that reflect real, ongoing grazing use rather than an estimate pulled from a soil map. Newer five-wire fencing runs the perimeter, and water is already handled through a livestock well and multiple stock tanks, so a buyer taking over the cattle operation is not starting from bare ground on either the fencing or the water infrastructure. Past the working pasture, the terrain begins to change, with grass breaking into draws, scattered trees, and pockets of natural cover as the ground rolls toward the west end of the property. A dry creek runs through that west end and adds another layer of habitat to the property, cutting through the cover and giving wildlife a natural corridor to move along. Closer to the center of the property sits a large pond, ringed by grass and cover, and it does real work drawing wildlife to the ground rather than sitting as an unused feature on the map. During a recent walkthrough, dove moved through the property and off the pond steadily and in numbers worth noting, and deer and turkey sign turned up throughout the ground, confirming the kind of wildlife activity the habitat and water would suggest to anyone reading the property from an aerial view alone. That combination of working ground and recreational value makes Middle Canyon a fit for more than one kind of buyer at once. A cattleman gets grazing capacity backed by fencing and water infrastructure that are already built and functional, which removes a significant startup cost that often comes with buying bare pasture. A farmer gets dryland acres already in production, with no lag time between closing and putting the ground to work. A hunter or recreational buyer gets draws, cover, and a pond already holding dove, deer, and turkey, meaning the habitat has proven itself rather than relying on potential. None of those uses requires giving up the others, and a buyer does not have to choose between a working operation and a place to hunt in the fall. This is a property built to be worked and enjoyed at the same time, rather than favoring one use at the direct expense of the other. Eustis is a small village in Frontier County that got its start in 1886, when the railroad was built through the area, and it was incorporated as a village two years later. The town sits in a part of south-central Nebraska defined by grazing land and dryland farm ground, with pasture accounting for the majority of agricultural use across Frontier County and dryland crop production making up a significant share of the remainder. That mix is exactly what shows up on this property, and it reflects the broader character of the ground surrounding Eustis rather than something unusual for the area. For an out-of-state or out-of-area buyer, Eustis functions as the nearest town to the property and the reference point for the region, situated in a county built on cattle, grass, and farm ground rather than large-scale development, which keeps the land use around Middle Canyon consistent with what the property itself offers. Middle Canyon sits in Frontier County, south of Eustis, in a part of Nebraska known for mixed grazing and farm groun

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.
