PROPERTY DESCRIPTION:
This is a very rare opportunity to purchase 7 Contiguous Irrigated Quarters
Totaling 1,119+/- Acres Antelope County
With an all new, in 2016, 300,000-bushel state of the art grain handling system. Located in the extreme Southeast corner of Antelope County, Nebraska, with excellent producing soils and high output irrigation wells, test pumped from 900 to1250 gallon per minute. All pivots are 2008 or newer Reinke systems, power to all wells, except tract 7, which is from 100 hp electric motors. All wells have remote operation at the wells. A good corn and soybean crop rotation and weed control policy has been followed over the years. If you have multiple farms scattered apart from one another that require moving grain and large equipment down the highway from farm to farm, we ask you consider doing a 1031 tax-free exchange of those farms for this all in one operation with new grain handling/storage in place. We can help you make that happen.
This property is being offered in its entirety at $8,228 per acre which totals $9,207,500 or it can be purchased in individual tracts with pricing shown along with other information within this brochure.
