The 2,666± acre JM Ranch is set in the scenic Pine Ridge area of northwestern Nebraska, home to elk, deer, antelope, turkey, grouse, coyotes, and bobcats. Whether you are looking for a beautiful working cattle ranch or a multi-species hunting retreat, the JM Ranch is a property full of possibilities. The ranch headquarters features a 60’ x 180’ all steel building (built 2002) that houses all of the necessary equipment as well as a one-bedroom, one-bath apartment and a three-bedroom, two-bath home. The shop is heated and insulated, with concrete floors and several overhead doors.
The ranch is cross-fenced into multiple pastures, each with several water sources. Water on the ranch is provided from numerous springs, ponds, windmills, creeks, and tanks on pipeline. The current owner has made a considerable investment in water wells, miles of new fences, sporting infrastructure, stocking fishing ponds, planting thousands of trees, and revamping water sources across the ranch.
This is one of the most diverse and improved ranches in the panhandle offering a playground for the outdoor enthusiast while maintaining a working agriculture operation. Two stocked ponds, several shooting ranges, and miles of trails offer entertainment when the cattle work is complete. The north and west portion of the ranch is made up of dryland farm ground and native grasses; as you venture deeper into the ranch you are greeted with pine- and cedar-lined canyons. The abundance of surface water, diverse terrain, and quality of forage make this a premier hunting destination.
Also, on the northeast corner of the ranch, there is a managers home and working facility. The home consists of 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms overlooking the beautiful Pine Ridge scenery with Chadron Creek running through the Northern boundary. The working facility includes multiple outbuildings and corrals that are all steel pipe construction with a substantial windbreak surrounding them entirely. Corrals also feature a loading chute, tub, alley and foremost chute along with numerous sorting pens and alleyways for ease of use. This is a perfect location for the managers home as it lays along the main entrance of the ranch ensuring the privacy of owners headquarters without interrupting ranch operations.
