1007 W 21st Rd, Marquette, NE 68854

Spanning 148.064 +/- acres across a diverse, multi-parcel tract of rolling hills, hardwood forest, and open meadow along the Platte River, this property offers privacy, natural beauty, and quality-built infrastructure in one of the best deer bedding areas along the river. The property is accessed via W 21 Road, east of the Chapman River bridge. The land includes an island on the river to the north, leading down through tree-covered, rolling terrain to a cleared southern boundary along agricultural ground, with trails and roads winding throughout for convenient access. Mature timber, open clearings, food plots, a stocked lake, and river bottom cover make this an exceptional setting for serious hunters, recreational buyers, or full-time country living. The property also includes 28.4 acres of tillable ground with underground irrigation for the crops, adding valuable income potential alongside the recreational and residential features. Main Residence - Built 2007 Coming down the paved driveway, the main residence sits on the left. Built in 2007, the home offers 3,048 sq. ft. of total building area, with 2,292 sq. ft. across the ground floor and a matching 2,292 sq. ft. basement, providing ample room to finish additional living space. The home features 3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. A 986 sq. ft. attached garage offers generous vehicle and storage capacity, while a single-story fireplace and heat pump heating add comfort. The home is served by its own well and septic system. Shop at the Main House Across the driveway from the main home sits a 44x60 shop with heating and air conditioning. The shop includes a north wing for vehicle storage with a 10x9 door, a large open area workshop, and a utility room. Next to the shop sits a high fence pen currently holding fallow deer. Hunting & Fishing This property has a proven track record as a true trophy destination, with over two dozen 140-class or better whitetail bucks harvested over the years. A large, healthy turkey population calls the property home as well, offering excellent spring and fall hunting opportunities. Bass fishing on Lake Vettel is enhanced by baitfish stocked every spring and fall to keep the fishery thriving. A dedicated game bird pen on the property allows owners to release their own upland birds, creating an enjoyable wing shooting experience for family and friends. Lake Vettel At the center of the property lies Lake Vettel, a stocked dam with its own well, offering docks for convenient water access and recreation. Guest Cabin - Built 2004 The gravel road continues north through the property, flanked by food plots on both sides, past a quarter acre sandpit near the cabin, and past a 90x20 machine shed on the west side of the driveway between the house and the cabin, arriving at an impressive grouping of buildings along the river: a large shop, two additional garages, and the guest cabin, all positioned together on the property's northern edge. The large shop here totals 40x100, with 40x80 fully enclosed, and includes three overhead garage doors, satellite TV, a bar, a bathroom, an indoor archery range, and an enclosed wood workshop, heated by a 125,000 BTU heater and cooled by air conditioning, making it fully functional for projects, entertaining, or equipment storage year-round. The cabin offers 1,800 sq. ft. of single-story living space in an efficient, low-maintenance layout, plus a separate 576 sq. ft. garage. Central air conditioning, warm air heating, and a cozy fireplace make it comfortable year-round, and a durable metal roof keeps upkeep low. Both the shop and the cabin have their own well and septic system. Ideal as a guest house, weekend retreat, or rental unit.
