About this property

Lake views, secluded & newly remodeled ranch house

This ranch house, is set on 10 of the 130 acres with views of Lake McConaughy. It offers the perfect setting for larger families or groups coming to enjoy the serenity of the country while visiting the lake, playing golf or hunting. The newly remodeled home sleeps 12, in four bedrooms (2 King & 2 Queen), a loft with two more queen beds. It has 3.5 baths (one tub), a full walk-out basement with a 70" TV & a game room w/ a ping pong table. The home has new HVAC and tankless hot water systems. The living room features a wood burning fireplace offering a cozy atmosphere on chilly days.
The No Business Ranch sits on a spectacular and serene 130 acre property with views of majestic Lake McConaughy. This secluded ranch is located on the south side of the Lake and sits only a mile and a half from Ogallala Beach. No Business offers the perfect setting for larger families or groups coming to enjoy the serenity of country living while visiting the Lake. While Lake McConaughy is a popular Summer destination, the area is also a perfect spot for hunters during the Fall and Winter months. In all seasons, visitors can experience an abundance of wildlife from the 10 acre ranch home’s wrap-around deck or while exploring the property’s three out-buildings. The property also includes a 1930’s era barn connected to Lake McConaughy’s unique history. When construction of the dam and reservoir caused the relocation of “old” Leymone to a different area of the Lake, the barn was moved to the No Business property. For our equestrian guests, this barn is available for an additional fee.

Country living can be described in many ways. To start, the driveway begins with white gravel but quickly turns to dirt for the next 1,500 feet. Cars will have no trouble gaining access to the Ranch home, but it’s a bit bumpy and will be muddy if wet. Stickers, dust, bugs, large and small animals, some friendly and some not, are common on the property. Keep your eyes and ears open while checking out the property, as some snakes are common in all areas of the Lake.

This slice of paradise was originally built in 1918 and has been recently updated since purchased in October 2021. The 2,800 sq. ft. home sleeps 12 and includes four bedrooms, a loft with two queen beds, 3.5 bathrooms (one tub) and a full walk-out basement and game room. The home has an indoor wood pellet fireplace in the living room, which is ideal to take the chill-off during cool Summer nights and during Nebraska’s cold seasons. The home has new heating and air conditioning units and a new tankless hot water system, which is nice for large groups.

The kitchen, dining and living rooms are spacious enough to accommodate a large group of guests, adding to the Ranch’s unique experience. The fully equipped kitchen contains a new range, dishwasher, sink, instapot, blender, toaster oven, mixer, coffee maker and microwave. The dining room has a table for 8 and many other places to sit, either by the fireplace or on the sofas in the living room.

The rest of the main floor has a half-bath off the kitchen, with a pocket door to a bedroom with a queen bed and closet. Another two-sink, full-bathroom (with tub) connects to the main suite with a king bed and ample closet space. The third bedroom has a queen bed and a closet with access to the two-sink full-bath, while still allowing privacy for the main suite. The home also features a large capacity washer and dryer located in the mud room.

The basement features a 70” big screen TV, sectional sofa and massage chair. An additional table and chairs are perfect for cards or board games or while enjoying a 1948 piano owned by our late grandmother, Ethel Worden. The game room features a ping pong table and rings. A full bath and shower are located off the game room for your convenience.

The property allows for ample, well-lit parking for cars or trailers. The yard light can be turned off to enjoy star gazing without light pollution, should you desire. No Business also has 110 outlets available to charge your rig while enjoying the comfort of the house. The property contains a propane bbq grill, an outdoor fire pit (please check if allowed due to burn restrictions) a horse-shoe pit, corn-hole game and a portable Bluetooth speaker.
