Chase County Farm - Hunt and Build on 120± Acres
Somewhere west of Champion, the light does a thing in the evening that's hard to describe to anyone who hasn't stood in it. It comes in low across the crop ground, catches the grass along the river bottom, and turns the whole 120 acres gold for about twenty minutes. People buy land for a lot of practical reasons. That light is usually the reason they keep it.
The practical reasons are here too, and they're good ones. Roughly 60 acres are already in dryland production, rotating corn, soybeans, and wheat, and returning around $50 an acre every year. The land pays its own taxes, which run just $630 annually, and then keeps going. From the day you close, this property is working for you, not the other way around.
The rest of the acreage is pasture and dry river bottom, and this is where the place starts to feel less like an investment and more like a life. The bottom holds real cover, and the cover holds wildlife. Whitetail and mule deer move through it. Turkeys roost in it. Pheasants flush out of the grass edges on cold mornings when your breath hangs in the air and the dog can't sit still. You don't have to be the one carrying the shotgun to love what that kind of ground brings to a property. It means the land is alive, every season, all year.
And then there's the part that lets you dream a little. This tract is buildable, with gravel county road frontage and soil suited for a homesite. If you want room to do it right, an additional 40 acres east of the road is available, which would let you build there and keep the full 120 across the road for farming and hunting. Picture morning coffee on a porch that looks out over ground you own, watching deer slip out of the bottom in the early light. That's not a someday fantasy. The pieces are all sitting here, waiting on someone to put them together.
Life in Champion and Chase County, Nebraska
Champion is a small, quiet community in the Frenchman Creek valley of southwest Nebraska, the kind of place where Champion Mill State Historical Park still anchors the town and your neighbors wave whether they know your truck or not. Imperial, the Chase County seat, sits about seven miles to the northeast and covers the essentials and then some, with a downtown of local shops and restaurants, the historic Imperial Theatre, a grocery store, schools, and medical services, all close enough for an easy errand run and far enough to keep your evenings dark and quiet.
For anyone who loves the outdoors, this corner of Nebraska is hard to beat. Chase County offers roughly 17,000 acres of public walk-in hunting access with strong populations of pheasant, quail, dove, turkey, and deer, meaning your hunting ground at home comes with thousands more acres nearby. Enders Reservoir State Recreation Area, southeast of Imperial, adds a 1,700-acre lake for boating, fishing, and camping, with walleye, white bass, crappie, and channel catfish waiting for the boat. Owning land near Champion means farm income on weekdays, birds in the morning, and a lake afternoon within a short drive. Few places stack the lifestyle this completely at this price per acre.
This is the kind of property you walk once and then can't stop thinking about. The aerial, topo, and soil maps below will give you the lay of the land, and Koby Rickertsen, ALC, will give you the rest.

Early settlers were drawn to this area for its fertile soil, abundant timber, and access to water—qualities that still define the landscape today.
Beyond its hunting potential, this property offers a chance to own a piece of Nebraska’s rich outdoor heritage. The combination of natural beauty, wildlife diversity, and convenient access makes it a standout option for anyone looking to invest in recreational land.
