This is the LAST available lot/home available for purchase, all other available lots have been sold! Here is your opportunity to own a private lodge at the famed “The Prairie Club” Golf Course! This 4 bedroom, 3 bath, 3500 sq ft home sits among the highly exclusive “Pines Reserve” secluded acreage lots situated between The Prairie Club Golf Course and the Snake River. The home is nestled into a wooded 5-acre lot providing ample privacy from any neighbors. The air smells of pine and fresh prairie grass, and the only sounds heard are the birds and the breeze rustling the tree needles. The back deck of the property looks straight out the narrow pine tree-lined lawn to pristine Sandhills prairie in a scene reminiscent of the 18th hole at Augusta… You may be tempted to tee a few off the deck just to test your mettle before you head to the course!

This luxurious home fits perfectly into its setting with its muted green and brown exterior. The board and batten siding and scalloped “carriage house” shingles were chosen for their beauty and longevity. Underground sprinklers and low maintenance landscaping will ensure the beauty of the immediate outdoors without much fuss from an absentee owner. Deer, turkey, and even the occasional elk wander through the surrounding woods, and the area is a bird-watchers paradise. Bring your telescope if you are an amateur astrologist. The remote Nebraska Sandhills location means you are in truly “Dark Sky Country”. The Milky Way seems close enough to touch out here!

The home itself is a showplace built for entertaining. The full-size kitchen includes every amenity, and is open to a large great room with a gorgeous fireplace on the opposite end. Sliding glass doors open up to the deck for al fresco dining. The deck faces east for glorious sunrises while providing a shady gathering place during the heat of late afternoon and early evening. The finest materials, appliances and finishes were used throughout the home. The beautiful master bathroom features hammered copper sinks and “Fusion” Quartzite countertops, one of the most expensive natural stone materials available to exclusive builders. The upstairs bedrooms both feature coffered ceilings, and the solid wood door and window trim has Craftsman-style architectural headers. A walk through this home will reveal the many details that prove that this was no slap-shod construction project. The high-end materials and accents make evident that this home was built for those accustomed to finer homes and quality, well-built custom structures. Oversized picture windows are in every room; The guest bedroom, living room, master bedroom, even in the garage! The upstairs laundry is spacious with a countertop, soaking sink, and large storage closet. The pantry is massive, you could store provisions enough to last you all winter!

The downstairs has two more bedrooms with egressed windows and a modified Jack and Jill bathroom. The utility room is huge, and could provide tremendous storage space or a great room for workout machines and free weights. The star of the downstairs is an enormous great room/game room perfect for adding a pool table, big screen and a sectional for football games and still have room for foosball and ping pong! The custom-built bar rounds out this entertaining space complete with accent lighting, wine fridge, beer fridge and wet bar.

Drive your cart from this luxurious home right to the clubhouse to golf either of the two courses, The Dunes or The Pines. Keep your boat in the oversized three car garage, as Merritt Reservoir with its white sugar sand beaches and trophy fishing is only a few minutes to the south. Grill a feast for your guests on the deck or head over to the restaurant at The Prairie Club Lodge for haute cuisine and expert bespoke cocktails.
