1919 Oakland Nebraska Home with Updated Systems and 2,354 Sq Ft — $110,000

For $110,000 you are getting 2,354 square feet of a 1919 house in Oakland, Nebraska, and the county has it assessed at $157,799. That gap is worth paying attention to.

The house was built over a century ago, and it reads like one. It is the kind of square footage that does not show up at this price without a reason, and the reason here is that it needs finishing work. But whoever has been working on it went after the right things first. The windows are done. There are two furnaces and two air conditioners, so the heating and cooling are handled and then some. The plumbing has been updated. So has the electrical, with the exception of some knob and tube wiring still in the attic. The water heater is new. Some of the flooring and drywall have been addressed as well. The current owner documented all of this, and those records are attached to the listing.

What is left is cosmetic and finish work. The sold-as-is condition means you are not negotiating around inspections, but the expensive, invisible, hard-to-finance-later systems are already behind you.

Oakland is a small town in Burt County in northeastern Nebraska. It runs a July 3rd celebration in the park each year and hosts the Burt County Fair. There is camping and swimming nearby. It is the kind of place where people know their neighbors and property taxes do not consume your income.

At $110,000, you are paying roughly $47 per square foot for a house that has had its mechanical systems modernized and sits under a county assessment that is $47,000 higher than the asking price. The finish work remaining is real, but the foundation of what makes a renovation stressful and expensive has largely been handled. That combination, the size, the price, the work already done, is what makes this one worth looking at twice.

Originally listed for $110,000, this property sold for $110,000 on August 28, 2026.
