6,242.12+/- Acres Ranchland
Brown County, Nebraska
Selling in 3 Tracts
UNRESERVED ONLINE AUCTION
Thursday, April 25, 2024
Bidding opens April 11, 2024, and ends April 25, 2024, at 11:00 a.m. CDT
Tract # 1, "The Main Ranch," is 3,733.13 acres. It includes a stately two-story home that overlooks the privately owned Enders Lake. From your front door, you can stroll down to your private dock on the beautiful Enders Land, which offers million-dollar views.
The home has a large, heated, attached two-car garage. There are two bedrooms on the main floor and three bedrooms upstairs. There are two bathrooms. The kitchen is modern and comes furnished with nice appliances, including a washer-dryer, a refrigerator, a gas stove, and a dishwasher. It is equipped with two furnaces and two central air units, which allow you to control the temperature differently on separate floors.
OUTBUILDINGS & LAND: One of the best features is the 170 ft. x 50 ft. shop. The main shop area is heated. There are indoor calving facilities, steel corrals, and a loading chute. There are several large pens with a lot of wind protection. There is a mature shelterbelt around the main Ranch, which is top-notch for calving or backgrounding calves.
The North two-thirds of these acres have four windmills, one free-flowing well, and one submersible well throughout the property. This North two-thirds of the "Main Ranch Headquarters" features five different pastures fenced separately for rotational grazing.
Part of Tract 1 is 629.52 acres that lie to the extreme southwest and are included in this main ranch offering. This 629.52 acre parcel is NOT enrolled in the Grassland CRP Program. The perimeter of these 629.52 acres has four wire fences. This ranchland grass is cross-fenced into three different pastures, which allows for excellent rotational grazing. Water is provided by two windmills and one solar well. This pasture is unique because it was farmed at one time, indicating the good soil types.
FENCE NOTE: There is no fence between Tract # 1,"The Main Ranch," and Tract # 2, "The North Ranch." The property line will run exactly on the section line and will be determined by a survey to be paid by the seller. If it sells separately, the buyer of Tract # 1 and # 2 will pay for a new fence. The cost of the fence will be split equally between the two buyers. If the same buyer purchases Tracts 1 & 2, a survey WILL NOT be completed.
Bid Increments will be per acre - see bidding increments table below. The final sale price will be calculated based on total acres times the highest bid.

COMMENTS: Greg and Malinda Villwok are selling their ranch located south of Ainsworth, Nebraska and are offering it in 3 very sensible tracts or you can own it all…….just bid. This Ranch is formerly the Lake Land Ranch. It is located only 3 miles off of a blacktop highway.
This Ranch consists of productive and well cared for Sandhill grass. It is cross fenced and watered by windmills, solar wells, free flowing wells, surface water ponds and 3 privately owned lakes. Every pasture has live water! There is a good mix of meadows and hay ground. The condition of the rangeland is above average with warm and cool season grasses. There is excellent winter calving protection.
Enders Lake is located on the Ranch. It is an approximately 300-acre lake that is 13 ft. deep, which makes it excellent for a moonlit boat cruise or a fun filled day of waterskiing. Located in Brown County, this ranch is unique from other sandhill ranches because it comes with LOTS of recreation! This ranch abounds with wildlife including ducks, geese, white tail and mule deer and elk.
Greg and Malinda Villwok own the majority of the Ranch, and their dad owns about 760 acres. All of it will be offered at the same time, along with a rented School Section. This Ranch runs 8-10 acres to the pair.
Recently the ranch was awarded and entered the Grassland Conservation Reserve Program via NRCS where as the Natural Resource Conservation Service pays the ranch $50,000 per year to manage these pastures in a way to not overgraze and not break the sod up for modern day farming practices.
The home has been remodeled. In the summertime it is like Yellowstone and in the winter months it is like Winter Park.
