FRIDAY, MARCH 5, 2021 SALE TIME: 10:00 AM
ATTENTION: Area farmers and investors! This parcel of land has been in the Siebenahler Family for over 45 years, and due to undivided ownership interests of the Heirs, they have decided to offer this property at public auction. This land consists of a older farmstead that could have potential with renovation of the existing home or as desirable site for future construction of a new home and includes a mixture of productive cropland and a few acres of pastureland. This is a well located parcel of land that should be of interest to a wide variety of buyers and must be seen to be fully appreciated. Please inspect the cropland and pasture at your leisure prior to the auction, to inspect the buildings, please contact the auctioneers. THIS PROPERTY WILL BE SOLD SUBJECT TO EXISTING LEASES FOR 2021 ON THE CROPLAND & PASTURE! Mark your calendars and make plans to be in attendance at this auction. This +/- 160 acre improved farm will be offered as a unit. The Improvements on this property include an older 1½ story home with the main floor comprised of an open front porch, living room, dining room, den, kitchen, and back entry; 2nd story with an open landing and 2 bedrooms w/closets and a full bath; the home has a basement with a Ruud LP gas furnace, elec. HW heater, laundry area and a fused electrical service and there is a lean-to area attached to the rear of the home. Other improvements include a double garage, single garage, metal pole type machine shed w/3 sliding doors and gravel floor (approx. 30’x75’), a barn w/2 lean-to’s, an open front cattle shed, 8’x8’ stg. shed, 2 brooder houses, 2 small hog/sheep barns and misc. other improvements. Water for the farmstead is provided by a well with a pressure system. The home on this property is old and in need of a significant amount of repair, thus not knowing whether or not the home will be occupied in the future, any updating of the existing septic system or rural water, if available, will be the responsibility of the buyer. According to FSA information this +/-160 acre farm has approx. 128.25 acres of cropland, with the non-tillable portions comprised of the farmstead and a +/- 25 acre pasture, a few acres of non-cropland in the NE corner of the farm and roads; with an FSA 63.2 acre corn base with a 161 bu. PLC and a 63.2 acre soybean base with a 39 bu. PLC yield. According to Rock County Assessor’s info. this farm has a very good CER of 76.44 and comparatively data obtained from Surety Agri-Data Inc., indicates this land has a weighted soil rating of 59.1 with the soils being comprised of predominately Class I and II soils with the general topography of this land being level to gently rolling with slopes of 0% to 6%%.. The Non-Homestead RE taxes paid in 2020 were $3,538.00 and the proposed 2021 RE taxes are the same. This land is sold subject to existing leases on the cropland and pasture for 2021 with the buyer to receive credit at closing for the cash rent, which is calculated as $250.00/Acre on 128 acres of cropland or $32,000.00 and 24.5 acres of pasture at $85.00 per acre rounded to $2,085.00 – note the 3.61 acres in the NW Corner of the farm, the Bldg. Site and roads are not included in the lease, although the tenant on the pasture does have access to the livestock yard and the well and electricity at the farmstead. The purchaser of this property will have possession subsequent to closing to the farmstead including the house and outbuildings. Crop/Livestock Farms of this quality are difficult to find and rarely become available on the market, this evidenced by the long tenure of ownership by the Siebenahler Family, so make plans to take advantage of this opportunity to purchase this desirable +/-160 acre parcel of land, as this farm would truly make an excellent future addition to an area row crop/crop-livestock operation and/or investment. LEGAL DESC.: The NE¼ of Sec. 21, T. 104N., R. 46W., Rose Dell Twp., Rock County, MN.
