The Schaeffer Hardy Ranch is an incredible Sandhills property offering something for all outdoor enthusiasts. Whether you like to hunt, fish, bird watch, stargaze, or just enjoy the outdoors, you will get your fill on this easy-to-access property.

The ranch is home to two creeks, the Calf Creek to the South and the Cow Creek to the North, and is only 3/4 of a mile from the North Loup River. The various dams, gravel pits, and water holes make the property a hot spot for both fishing and waterfowl hunting. Catching bass up to seven pounds isn't unheard of in our stocked ponds and lakes!

During the migration season, the ranch is a stopping point for geese, cranes, swans, and other migratory birds. Year-round both native and upland birds like grouse, doves, and pheasants can be found across the property. A professional birder with the US Fish & Wildlife once said he saw more birds here than any other property he has ever been on.

Small to medium-sized herds of mule deer call the ranch home during the fall. Larger populations of whitetail spend their time in the area. Both can be expected to be found on the field of irrigated alfalfa on the ranch or in the numerous tree groves. Turkeys work their way up to the property from the nearby North Loup River.

The annual "Nebraska Star Party" takes place not far from this ranch which proves how great the stargazing can be from this property.
