AUCTION DATE IS SEPT. 12TH AT 4PM AT THE CROW RIVER WINERY. PLENTY OF TIME TO GET YOUR FINANCES IN ORDER SO DO NOT HESITATE ON THIS RARE OPPORTUNITY! The farm itself is located approx. 3 miles east of Hutchinson or less than an hour from the west metro area (see the general location maps /pics). Keep in mind for those that may be considering a move or building new in a relocated location but would still have a need to commute to the cities, this property is approx. 10 minutes from Glencoe and Hwy 212 which has had and is in final steps of being turned into a 4-lane highway all the way into the cities. Another side note of the area is that there are many lakes around the Hutchinson area and the community itself provides many amenities from schools, shopping, industry, and so much more. The property itself consists of 3 main components starting with the approx. 29.5+/- tillable acres. These acres yield an overall average soil CPI rating of 88.56 which, for those that don’t know, correlates to good productive soils which are currently in alfalfa and corn/bean rotation and rented out to a local farmer. The tillable acreage would be a good candidate for conversion to pasture for horses, cattle or other livestock and also for enrollment into CRP for added habitat and many other uses. As you will see from the aerial photo, basically the western half of the property is existing habitat consisting of the thick cattail wintering cover slough. The old trail road running through the slough allows access to the western wooded corners and then the meadow between them. I traveled this road on my UTV in the heart of this year’s late spring/early summer rains and made it across without any issues. The meadow is approx. 2 acres in size and is a no brainer in my opinion for conversion to a good protected and isolated food plot. Don’t let the smaller size of the woods fool you as I grew up again in this area and I’m here to tell you that some very respectable bucks have been taken over the years out of smaller patches of woods than those on this property and some not far away. I also readily see turkey’s in this area so they are also a real potential as well. Lastly then is the approx. 8ac +/- farm site which has been very well maintained. You will notice from the aerial photos that the farm site also includes a mature wooded area wrapping around the west and north sides creating a great windbreak. The farmhouse itself is an older farm house but again, has been maintained really well and consists of 4 total bedrooms (3 up and 1 on the main level) and two baths (one up and one on the main level). approx. 2400 +/- total ft2 with approx. 1500 +/- ft2 of finished area. It has a fuel oil furnace, forced air, a drilled well and a newer upgraded septic system. There then is the insulated 46x26 garage, 30 x 60 pole shed, larger lean-to and other smaller buildings. Another feature is a lot of open space as well that would yield well to the building of a newer home if now or in the future. All of this is off of Major Ave which is an asphalt road. Also, an important note is that from conversations with the county, there is a possibility of a future owner having/acquiring a second building eligibility for a second home.
