Super Farming tracts
We just took in several outstanding tracts of farmland from an investor group, a total of 906 acres, nearly all of which is in north central to southwestern Montgomery County. I estimate 745 are tillable with very nearly every inch good to exceptional soils. No junk land, just the good stuff, all in an excellent state of cultivation, corn and soybeans. Its farmed conventionally, not organic. There over 3.6 miles of paved road frontage, with power. None of the tracts are on busy roads; all are on paved Town or County roads. There are neighbors dotted here and there, but no large numbers or clusters of them. There is only one set of buildings on all this acreage. The price is not cheap, nor is the land cheap - you get what you pay for. Figure on $3,900,000 to get it all.
Note: the largest parcel, 301 acres (#1180) is now under solar contract and also has a backup offer. The rest remains a...

#1181 - has 94 acres, all open land, basically all tillable with long views. No woods. There are 3 ponds, 2 of which are piped to the barn. There are also 2 drilled wells one with sulphur and one without.Over 4700 of frontage on two roads, great farming area. Areas traditionally pastured have (mostly) excellent high-tensile fencing.
There is a good home built at the turn of the century which has tenants + an apartment where an elderly former owner enjoys life tenancy. It is handicapped accessible for him. In the tenant portion are 3 bedrooms 1 1/2 baths, living room, dining room and kitchen, plus an enclosed porch. Lots of paneling, but everything is in good shape. The apartment has a nice kitchen, living room, 1/4 bath, and 2 bedrooms and a fun bath upstairs. 2400 total square feet of living space, oil hot air heat for the home and electric for the apartment. All electric is on breakers. There is also a trailer hookup.
Also a 2 car garage with picnic area across the end, a dairy barn w/50 stanchions and 14 ties plus heifer stalls w/full loft, and 3 machinery sheds (18x32, 32x48, and 28x60 (this one has very high sidewalls). In the dairy barn are a cleaner and a manure auger for the 3rd row, 1000 g bulk tank. It has 10 ceilings, a generator double-throw switch, and a 24x60 silo with unloader.. Large paved barnyard. This is a large complex of buildings. The barn is fully equipped, but needs remodeling before you milk again. An insulated shop is 24x40 and also has high sidewalls.
Well kept exterior, looks like a farm ought to look. $510000. Below, you see the western portion on the map, a perfect rectangle.
#1182 - has 176 acres and adjoins #1181. Buy the two together and get a $100000 reduction in price. 130 are tillable and the rest is wooded. It has 2850 of frontage on two roads. $755000. On the map, this is the eastern piece of land, goes around an in-holding.
#1183 - has 139 acres and 130 of it are tillable. There are 3185 of road frontage. Another one in a great farming area. This is an impressive piece of land. $595000.
#1184 - is near to #1183 and has 196 acres with 135 tillable or mostly exceptional land, including some creek flats. Yes, a creek winds through. We have worked with this before, years ago, and I am just as impressed with it now as I was then. 2105 of frontage on two roads. Most of the non-tillable portion is wooded land. This one is a little bit more private feeling than the others. $840000
