Property Info

Description

Peoples Company is honored to represent the Estate of Don Mootz in the sale of 232.70 total acres m/l located just three and a half miles northwest of Belmont, Wisconsin. This sale will be an ABSOLUTE auction, which means the farm will sell regardless of price and will be offered in one individual tract. Mark your calendar for Tuesday, April 5th, 2022 at 10:00 AM. Land rarely trades hands in this tightly held area of Lafayette County. This land would make for a great add-on unit to an existing farm operation or a premium investment-grade land purchase.

The farm consists of 232.70 total acres m/l with 156.34 FSA cropland acres carrying a NCCPI value of 70. Over 80% of the tillable row crop acres boast a NCCPI rating above 82.5 with the primary soil types being Ashdale silt loam and Dodgeville silt loam. Mounds Branch creek flows through the middle of the 58 acres m/l of grazing pasture providing a great water source year-round. The remaining 10 acre m/l  consists of a previously mined quarry. Buyers could potentially get this quarry re-permitted for mining to provide additional income from the mining royalties. This property is in a strong farming area with an excellent location with multiple grain facilities including ADM - Belmont, See-Mor Grain, Inc - Darlington, and the Mississippi River markets. Interested parties will have the option to bid in person or online. This property is located just northwest of Belmont, Wisconsin along County Road G, in the Town of Belmont.
