The farm will be offered in four tracts, each bringing a unique opportunity to the table: Tract 1 - 83 Acres: An extremely attractive parcel that combines productive tillable ground with beautiful topography and multiple potential building sites. The rolling nature of this tract provides several elevated locations that would make for outstanding home or cabin sites, offering long-range views of the surrounding countryside. In addition to its building potential, this tract also carries strong recreational value; making it a rare combination of lifestyle, income, and hunting appeal. Tract 2 - 60 Acres: A highly efficient parcel designed with the row crop operator in mind. This tract offers a strong percentage of productive tillable acres, supported by quality soils and a layout that allows for practical, efficient farming. The field configuration and contouring minimize unproductive areas, resulting in very little wasted ground and maximizing overall usability. With excellent access off Neumann Road, this tract is easy to operate and integrates seamlessly into an existing farming operation. Tract 3 - 157 Acres: Standing out as the largest tract and offering a highly functional and valuable pasture component, making it especially attractive to livestock operators and recreational land investors. The rolling terrain, multiple ponds, and established grasses create an excellent setup for grazing, while still offering pockets of cover and topography that contribute to its recreational upside. This tract is well-suited for someone looking to combine pasture income, incredible location, and hunting potential all rolled into one. Tract 4 - 21 Acres: This tract presents an opportunity for a buyer looking to take advantage of an existing rural building site with established infrastructure in place. This tract offers a strong foundation for redevelopment, with utilities and site infrastructure already established, making it an attractive option for a buyer looking to rebuild or create a new rural homesite in a desirable Southeast Minnesota location. This auction presents a rare opportunity to purchase high-quality land in Houston County, where available inventory is limited, and demand remains strong.
