Property Info

Description

Peoples Company is pleased to present 89.89 acres m/l located southeast of Columbia, Iowa, in Section 11 of Pleasant Township, Lucas County. This combination farm offers an opportunity for recreational buyers, investors, and farmers looking for income-producing farmland with hunting potential. The property will be offered as a single tract via public auction on Friday, December 4, 2026, at 10:00 AM at the Columbia Community Center in Columbia, Iowa. Online bidding will also be available.

The property includes 71.84 FSA cropland acres with an average CSR2 rating of 50.1. The FSA records indicate 26.58 corn base acres and 38.11 soybean base acres. The farmland consists of a mixture of row crop and hay production, with rolling terrain, timbered draws, and natural travel corridors across the property. The combination of cropland, hay ground, and timber provides an attractive setting for whitetail deer and turkey hunting while offering the potential for an agricultural return.

The farm has road frontage along 330th Avenue and is available for the 2027 crop season, as the existing farm lease has been terminated. This gives the new owner the option to continue farming the property or negotiate a new lease.

An added benefit for recreational buyers is the opportunity for early possession in time for the 2026 deer season. Early possession will be granted to the successful bidder upon receipt of the required 10% earnest money deposit and proof of a liability insurance policy. All hunting activities must comply with applicable Iowa hunting regulations.

Whether you're looking to expand your farming operation, add to your investment portfolio, or purchase a recreational property with an agricultural return, this Lucas County farm is worth considering.
