Pettit Ranch – 4,960 +/- Acres in McPherson County, NE


Property Overview:  The Pettit Ranch, established in 1904, is a cattle-producing operation in the heart of the Big Lamunyon Flats in McPherson County, Nebraska.  Consisting of 4,320 +/- continuous deeded acres and a 640-acre school section lease, this scenic, Nebraska Sandhills ranch is located about 4 miles north of Highway 92 in between Tryon & Arthur, Nebraska and approximately one hour from Ogallala or North Platte, which provide some of the best livestock markets in western Nebraska.  An oil paved road runs right through the center of the ranch providing excellent access.

The owners have been consistently running 500+ cows year-round on the ranch.  On an average year, 800-1,000 bales of hay off the many sub-irrigated meadows provide enough feed to get them through the winter, and some years, even provide enough feed to background the calves as well.  The highly-productive Sandhills offer many great native grasses that are known to put the pounds on your livestock and hold a home for many different types of wildlife such as grouse, prairie chicken, turkey, and geese.  The ranch is also home to many large mule deer and occasionally, antelope and white-tail deer.

The ranch is all set up for rotational grazing, as it is currently split into approximately 30 pastures, varying in size.  Due to the incredible Ogallala Aquifer, there is always an abundance of fresh water flowing from the 23 solar wells that are spread throughout the ranch.  With the annual rainfall in the area ranging from 17”-19” per year, drought conditions are rare.  There are also several large ponds that provide a steady stream of water running from the north end of the ranch to the south.

The property is currently open for the 2022 grazing and hunting seasons, as there are no leases in place.  The Seller has paid for the first half of the school section lease, which is paid in two semi-annual payments for a total of $13,720.16.

This property is offered for sale by the Seller with the intention of completing a 1031 exchange.

Housing Overview:  On the ranch headquarters sits two homes.  One was built in 1922 consisting of 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.  The other was built in 2015 and has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, with extra potential in the unfinished upstairs.

Improvements:  There is a 40 x 80 steel building with box stalls, a tack room, and a hydraulic working chute.  There are a few other outbuildings on the ranch that can be used for storage.  Two sets of cattle working facilities, one at the headquarters and one along the blacktop road, make it easy for semis to load and unload livestock.  Established tree shelterbelts provide excellent protection, and a few of the newer strips planted a couple of years ago, will be great for many future years to come.

*Co-listed with Hall & Hall.

Meridian Canyon Ranch – A Recreational Property in Custer County


Property Overview: Located in northeastern Custer County, near Sargent, NE, is a hidden one-of-a-kind recreational property.   There are approximately 2,340 +/- acres, with 1,914 +/- acres of that being pasture and recreational land that includes a mixture of deciduous and cedar trees, providing a great habitat for deer, turkey, elk, and several exotic animals.  There are several trails and scenic views overlooking the property, as well as several ponds and water sources for livestock and other animals spread throughout.  The other 426 +/- acres consist of dryland, hay meadow, and food plots for all your upland bird hunting.  The entire property is surrounded by an 8 ft. high tensile fence, which requires very little maintenance, with a remote-operated gate at the entrance.

Another desirable feature of the property is a 3 bedroom, 4 bathroom, 1,837 sq. ft. furnished rustic log cabin home built in 2001, with a   beautiful wood log and stone exterior.  Large windows throughout the home present natural lighting, along with breathtaking views of the property.  The updated kitchen and large stone fireplace in the living area serve as the heart of the home, with a guest suite and master suite to each side.  The master suite features a tiled bathroom, a large walk-in closet, and access to the wraparound deck that overlooks the beauty of the Meridian Canyon Ranch, where you can enjoy the sounds of elk bugling, birds chirping, and all the other wonderful sounds of nature with no neighbors in sight.  Downstairs you will find an entertainment area, office area, wet bar, and an additional guest bedroom with walk-out doors to the lawn.

Sitting next to the home, built in 2005, is a 390 sq. ft. art studio built within a detached, 598 sq. ft. rustic log cabin, two-car garage with a small workbench and control box for the underground sprinkler system.

There is a 40’ x 60’ steel building with concrete floors, workbenches, and electricity.  A registered irrigation water well sits just to the north of the building and is set to pump 700 gpm.  The property is located in the Lower Loup NRD Water District.

Additional Income:  To generate additional income and utilize the land in the summer months, the property is used for grazing, haying, and farming.  During the winter months, the property is used entirely for recreational purposes, selling all kinds of big game, exotic, predator, and bird hunts, along with property tours.
