Barbara Clark Trust & Shannon Giles - Seller
Broker’s Notes: This quarter section presents a prime opportunity for a diversified and productive farming operation. With approximately 78 acres of native grass pasture, it’s perfectly suited for livestock grazing. The pasture is well-maintained and secured with good perimeter fencing, ensuring it's immediately ready for use. Two quality ponds are located on the property, providing reliable, year-round water sources for livestock and adding value through improved sustainability and reduced reliance on external water systems.
Conveniently located just half a mile off Highway 36, the tract offers excellent accessibility for equipment, livestock transport, and general operations. The balance of the land is comprised primarily of Crete soils, which are known for their high productivity and adaptability across a wide range of crops. This makes the cropland not only versatile but highly efficient in terms of yield potential.
One of the most attractive features of this property is that approximately 95% of the land has a slope of 7% or less. This low gradient enhances both its usability and erosion control, and opens up the possibility of converting a significant portion of the existing pasture into cropland, thereby expanding the total acreage in production. This added flexibility makes the property especially valuable for those seeking to grow their farming operation or diversify their land use options.
Whether you're an established producer looking to expand or an investor seeking high-quality, versatile farmland with strong potential for return, this property delivers on both counts. With its mix of pasture, water sources, quality soils, and expansion opportunities, it's a standout piece of ground in a prime location.
