Frenchman Creek Property
Hayes County, NE

 Photos Below
     
Location   The property lies along the meanders of scenic Frenchman Creek in southern Hayes County, immediately adjacent to the north line of the village of Palisade (population 386). Only one-half mile off U.S. Highway 6, paved access is provided by Nebraska State Highway 25A, which traverses the property.
 
Property Description   The property is an irregularly shaped parcel which contains 80 total acres, more or less. It is in the Transitional Agriculture District as defined by the zoning regulations of Hayes County. Approximately one-half mile of timbered Frenchman Creek defines its northeast boundary. Bobtail Creek, a small tributary, flows into the Frenchman on the southeast portion of the property. There is an old feed mill, and set of corrals and pens (once utilized as a small livestock feed yard) in the southeast corner of the property. There are 38.7 acres of cropable land, and the remaining acres are primarily river bottom grazing land, with a small area of corrals and pens. The crop acres are supplied irrigation water from an irrigation well with electric motor and panel. The Middle Republican Natural Resources District has allocated 39 inches of irrigation water for 37.0 certified acres for the years 2006-2007. The crop acres have an FSA corn base of 38.5 acres, and a corn payment yield of 128 bushels.

There is a Nebraska Game and Parks Commission Wildlife Management Area on the other side of Frenchman Creek, north and east of the property. The Palisade village park, with ball diamond and swimming pool, is immediately south of the property.

This is a beautiful piece of land with potential for residential development, hunting or other recreational development, production agriculture, or a combination of those uses.
 
Real Estate Taxes   The property is taxed as part of a larger parcel. Based on information supplied by the Hayes County Assessor, and Hayes County Treasurer, taxes on the property for the year 2005 were estimated at $650.
 
 Possession and Minerals   Buyer will receive full possession of the property at closing.

Seller will retain no mineral interest in the parcel, and will transfer to buyer all mineral interest owned by the seller, if any.
