Property Info

Description

Peoples Company is honored to be representing The Estate of Ruby Starnes in this ‘No-Reserve’ Auction of 131.91 acres m/l of the family farm located south and east of Corydon, Iowa. The late Ronald Starnes parents, Pearl and Edith Starnes purchased this farm back in January of 1941 and then sold it to Ronald in February of 1950. Ronald and Ruby were married on June 16, 1952, and together made their home on this family farm for 34 years until Ronald’s sudden death in October of 1986. This farm has not been available to the public in over 81 years making it a rare opportunity for you to own an exceptional farm that has multiple options for any type of Buyer.

This farm will be offered in one individual tract and will sell to the highest bidder via a Live Public Auction that will take place at 5:00 PM on Wednesday, March 30, 2022, at the Wayne County Fair Event Center located at 800 2nd Avenue in Corydon, Iowa. This auction can also be viewed through the Peoples Company mobile bidding app with online bidding available to registered bidders.

ABOUT THE FARM:

These 131.91 acres present a unique opportunity to own an excellent hunting and recreational farm with the potential for added income all located along a paved highway just minutes from Corydon, Iowa in Wayne County. The farm totals 131.91 taxable acres m/l with 80.74 FSA cropland acres that carries a CSR2 average of 43.7. These cropland acres were previously enrolled in CRP that expired in 2021 and were then mowed and baled in late 2021 now allowing for multiple options to farm and bring added income to a new Buyer. The balance of this farm is in mature timber, timbered draws & ditches, cedar thickets, and smaller blocks of timber which allow for multiple stands and blind locations throughout the farm.

With the many travel corridors for deer and other wildlife, there is an abundance of ideal locations to plant numerous food plots in key areas across this farm. This is truly a unique hunting and recreational property that will be available at auction on March 30, 2022, making it available to the public for the first time in over 81 years.
