Please note that there have been excellent long-time farm tenants on these tracts who desire the opportunity to continue renting them in the event the successful buyer needs a tenant.

Tract 7 is a combination of the contiguous Tracts 5 and 6 as these properties are being offered both individually and in combination with the properties selling in whichever form garners the most proceeds. Totaling 180 more or less, you couldn’t ask for much more with all it has to offer. Over a mile and a half of Cottonwood River frontage, excellent soil types, tremendous deer, turkey and waterfowl habitat and the most appreciated attribute for the hunter, natural screening provided by the trees along the only road that borders it and also from the abandoned railroad track just inside the property.

As previously described in Tracts 5 and 6, this property features some of the most desirable and fertile soil types in the area consisting of Reading, Ivan and Chase varieties that compose the approximately 119 acres of productive cropland.
