Description

Pleased to present the Moser Family's 232.25 acres m/l of high quality, diverse northeast Iowa farmland that will be sold at public auction on Tuesday, August 24th at 2:00 PM in Waucoma.

This certified Century Farm has been in the same family since 1860 and will be sold in three contiguous tracts using the "Buyer's Choice" auction method. Tracts one and two both offer tillable soil as well as a pasture area that is ready to hold cattle or could likely be cleaned up to increase tillable acres.

Bidding can be done in person or online through the Peoples Company mobile bidding app. Don't miss your chance to own this literal "Garden of Eden" with a location just southeast of Waucoma, Iowa in Section 23 of Eden Township.
