Description

Mark your calendar for the Major Grant County, Wisconsin Absolute, No-Reserve Land Auction on Wednesday, October 23rd, 2024. Peoples Company is representing the David J. Brandt Estate in selling 389.96± acres of tillable, pasture, recreational, and developmental land divided into five parcels. This property is ideally situated just 10 minutes from Dubuque, Iowa, and less than 5 minutes from Kieler, Wisconsin, providing a unique blend of income potential, leisure activities, and seclusion while being easily accessible from Highway 151. This property is an excellent agricultural investment and a recreational retreat. It also presents an ideal opportunity to construct your dream home with breathtaking views of the Mississippi River or the expansive valley.

The Sinnipee Lane portion of the Brandt Farm is a century-old farm that was first homesteaded in 1914 and hasn’t been publicly available for 110 years. Over the years, the Brandt Farm has expanded and now encompasses 389.96± acres. The current operation features approximately 177 tillable acres with an average NCCPI rating of 73.7, with the main soil types consisting of Seaton and Fayette silt loam. The remaining land comprises over 150 acres of timberland, pasture, a three-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath house, dairy barn, cattle sheds, and a machine shed. The farmland could immediately be a turnkey dairy, beef, or crop farm. Farmland in southwest Wisconsin is rarely available and often handed down through generations, making this auction a unique opportunity to own high-quality farmland in a robust farming community. Whether you want to expand your farming or business operations or diversify your investment portfolio, these tracts offer great potential.

Additionally, the farm offers excellent recreational opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts to hunt Wisconsin whitetail and additional small game. With the mix of dense timber cover, cropland, and natural water sources, the land provides everything you need to attract and sustain a healthy deer population. The varied topography – featuring rolling hills, valleys, and ridges – offers numerous vantage points and natural funnels ideal for setting up bow and gun hunting stands. Multiple access points allow you to enter and exit your hunting spots without disturbing the wildlife. The property also presents ample opportunities to establish food plots and strategically place tower blinds, ensuring you have the perfect setup for a thrilling and successful hunt every season. Whether you prefer the quiet challenge of bow hunting or the excitement of rifle hunting, this land offers endless possibilities for unforgettable hunting experiences.
