Cozad West Railroad Street Acreage | 40 Acres with Home | Cozad, Nebraska Most people who want an acreage spend years getting there. First the land, then the well, then the fence, then the corrals, then a decade of weekends building what this property already has standing. The shortcut runs through Cozad, just west of town on W Railroad Street, and it's 40 acres deep. Start with the part almost no listing in Dawson County can offer: choice. Take the full 40 acres and step into a complete working acreage. Or buy the home with approximately 5 acres, and keep it simple. Same property, two different lives. You decide which one you're ready for. The home gives you 2,242 square feet, three bedrooms, three full baths, and an attached one car garage. But the heart of this place is everything beyond the back door. A detached oversized two car garage for the projects that never fit anywhere else. Multiple outbuildings. Working corrals, hay storage, and fencing already standing. Two wells, so the water is there before the livestock is. Whether it's horses you've been boarding too long, a few head of cattle, or simply the deep satisfaction of a shop with your name on it, this property skips the building years and hands you the part you actually wanted. And the ground keeps options open. The balance of the acreage suits grazing, hay, or future use under its agricultural zoning. No leases encumber the property, so possession comes quickly and every acre answers to you from the first morning. Mineral rights are intact and convey. The Platte River valley around you carries whitetail, mule deer, and turkey, a daily reminder that the country you moved here for is still very much alive. What Day-to-Day Life Looks Like in Cozad, Nebraska Here's what mornings actually look like from this address. Coffee on the gravel road quiet, chores before the sun gets serious, and then town is minutes away when you need it. And Cozad is a town that covers the needing. There's a hospital right in the community, with Cozad Community Health System providing everything from routine diagnostics to emergency care without a highway drive. Cozad Community Schools serve the town from elementary through Cozad High School, home of the Haymakers, and on fall Friday nights the whole community knows where to find each other. Downtown holds its own too. There's a grocery store, local retail, places to eat, and a modern movie theater showing current films, and the downtown earned designation as a state Creative District in recognition of its support for arts and culture. That arts streak runs deep here. Cozad is the boyhood home of painter Robert Henri, and the Robert Henri Museum now houses the largest collection of his paintings and sketches on display in the United States, with the 100th Meridian Museum next door keeping the town's railroad and homestead history alive. Not many towns of this size give you a hospital, a movie theater, and a nationally significant art museum inside the same few blocks. The geography is part of the story too. Cozad sits directly on the 100th Meridian, the historic line where the humid east meets the arid west, in country that once earned the title Alfalfa Capital of the World. Highway 30 and the Union Pacific line run through town, Interstate 80 sits just to the south, and Gothenburg and Lexington are about 10 and 15 miles out for anything Cozad doesn't carry. Summer weekends, Johnson Lake is close enough for an easy boat day. It's a full life within a short radius, and this acreage puts you on the quiet edge of all of it.

Platte River Waterfowl Lore was better known as The Drakes Nest Hunting Club and is located in Darr, Nebraska just ten miles west of Lexington, Nebraska off Interstate 80 at exit 231. The Drakes Nest Hunting Club was a quality waterfowl hunting destination for hunters from all over the country that wanted a top notch waterfowl hunting experience and a wine and dine experience after the hunt. This business ran successfully for nearly 30 years. This property sits smack dab in the middle of the Central Flyway so during migration times the sky is full of waterfowl. The Seller has maintained this property over the years with weed and tree management, specifically cottonwood tree removal and Phragmites grass removal. This specific type of grass is an invasive grass that absorbs water and spreads. With this maintenance, the river corridor is wide here, and conducive for waterfowl. Platte River Waterfowl Lore can also be considered a multi species property as many wild turkeys and white tail deer inhabit the property as well. After the morning hunt, enjoy sitting in the cabin and watch the wildlife come alive. Turkeys will come to the patio window and strut in front of you while wood ducks and other waterfowl land in the pond just off the patio. Some of the amenities that come with this property include, a top notch propane heated deer stand located in a strategic location, big game hoist to hang your game, a processing table with hole in the center to dispose of scraps, good trails around the property and nearly 22 acres to plant a food plot.
