The North Platte Outpost

  • $24,000,000

Description

Nestled along the storied North Platte River in western Nebraska, The North Platte Outpost stands as one of the finest and most exclusive waterfowl destinations in North America. Its approximately 1,259 acres, or 510 hectares, include two linear miles of dual-bank river frontage under full control, forming an extraordinary mosaic of river channels, side sloughs, and irrigated croplands that create a habitat perfectly suited for migratory waterfowl and upland game.

Strategically located along major migration corridors, the property delivers exceptional duck and goose hunting through sixteen heated pit and box blinds, each accommodating up to six hunters. Access to every blind is direct, requiring no wading or walking through water, ensuring a safe, dry, and effortless experience for hunters of all ages and skill levels. The region benefits from the longest uninterrupted waterfowl season in North America, averaging ninety-four days from late October through January, which guarantees consistent, high-quality hunting throughout the season.

Beyond waterfowl, the Outpost offers diverse outdoor pursuits. Fifty-seven irrigated acres under preserve status provide outstanding pheasant habitat and upland opportunities. Whitetail deer, wild turkey, and excellent fly-fishing for trout and bass further enrich the sporting experience.

At the heart of the property, the Main Lodge — originally a historic cattle sale barn — has been masterfully transformed and expanded by Paul Reed Construction of Scottsbluff into a classic, fully appointed sporting retreat. Measuring roughly 10,000 square feet, it includes multiple living spaces, a bar and “river room” with taxidermy displays, a walk-in sauna, massage room, five private suites, four full baths, a professional kitchen, and office facilities, making it perfectly equipped for both corporate and private gatherings. Nearby, the 12 Gauge Residence offers an additional lodge with three bedrooms and three baths, complete with kitchen, laundry, and private living areas, ideal for guest overflow or staff accommodation.

Three more residences enhance the property’s lodging capacity. Chuck’s House is a luxury 7,000-square-foot ranch-style home with five bedrooms, ample entertainment areas, and panoramic views of the bluffs and river valley. The Mallard Residence provides 4,000 square feet of living space with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, offering privacy for guests or family. Big Honker Haven is a warm and inviting three-bedroom, two-bath home set among mature walnut trees, ideal for family stays or additional lodging needs. In addition, the Highland Road House, located eleven miles from the main lodge near Scottsbluff and the regional airport, provides convenient housing for management and operational staff.

The North Platte Outpost is a truly turnkey sporting legacy. With its exceptional natural habitat, world-class facilities, and a well-earned reputation as the nation’s premier waterfowl destination, it represents a rare opportunity to acquire a property that seamlessly blends natural beauty, sporting heritage, and operational excellence, ready to be carried forward by its next steward.
