Is it possible to create a nuc and keep it in the same beeyard or in close proximity (200 feet) from the donor hive?

Yes you can put it right next to the donor hive, shake plenty of extra bees into it because the older bees will fly back to the mother hive. And you want to provide enough nurse bees to cover the brood.
