Online bidding only for 163.667± acres of productive farmland in Miami County, OH. Located just SW of Piqua, these two productive tracts offer plenty of opportunity. Bidding is open 9/21/26 at 9:00 AM ET, and bidding ends 9/22/26 at 2:00 PM ET
Tract 1 - 50.977± Acres
Here’s your chance to own 50.977± acres of high-quality Miami County farmland located in Staunton Township within the Miami East School District. Located along East Loy Road northeast of Troy, this 50.977± acre tract is open quality cropland from end to end, ready to go to work.
These farms have remained in the same family for decades and have been thoughtfully cared for throughout their history. The farm has benefited from the consistency and stewardship of the same tenant farmer for the past 20 years, reflecting a proven commitment to responsible farming practices and long-term care of the land. This is a rare opportunity to acquire productive farmland with a strong family history and a well-established record of stewardship.
The soil tells the story: nearly 40% is Crosby silt loam on flat ground, while another 46% is Miamian silt loam on gentle 2-6% slopes, and 14% is Brookston silty clay loam. Overall, NCCPI comes in at 68.4. Substantial road frontage on East Loy Road sits at the north end of the tract, giving clean access to every acre.
Whether you're a farmer looking to add productive tillable ground or an investor seeking quality acres, this is a rare chance to bid your price on highly desirable farmland that seldom hits the open market in this area.
This tract sells online only, individually or in combination with a second, non-adjoining 112.690± acre tract on East Rusk Road. Bidding opens Monday, September 21, 2026, at 9:00 AM ET. and closes Tuesday, September 22, 2026, at 2:00 PM ET. Contact Land Specialists Travis Kenton or Tim Woods for your private showing.
Tract 1 Highlights
This is the cleaner of the two tracts. Nearly forty percent of it is Crosby on flat ground, another forty-six percent is Miamian on a gentle two-to-six percent slope, and fourteen percent is Brookston. Brookston is the dark, wet, high-organic ground — it is productive when it drains, and its presence tells you there is tile out there somewhere. Nobody is warranting that tile, and no tile map exists. The frontage on East Loy Road is at the north end of the tract on a leg that runs up to the road. Everything else is a field. There are no buildings, no fence, no wells, and nothing to clean up.

TRACT 2- 112.69± Acres
Here’s your chance to own 112.69± acres of high-quality Miami County farmland located in Staunton Township within the Miami East School District. Located along East Rusk Road southeast of Piqua, this 112.69± acre tract is open quality cropland ready to go to work.
These farms have remained in the same family for decades and have been thoughtfully cared for throughout their history. The farm has benefited from the consistency and stewardship of the same tenant farmer for the past 20 years, reflecting a proven commitment to responsible farming practices and long-term care of the land. This is a rare opportunity to acquire productive farmland with a strong family history and a well-established record of stewardship.
The soil tells the story: nearly ninety-two percent is highly productive Crosby, Miamian, Celina and Brookston soil types you would expect in this township, with an overall NCCPI coming in at 68.8. Road frontage on East Rusk Road sits at the south end of the tract, giving clean access to every acre.
Whether you're a farmer looking to add productive tillable ground or an investor seeking quality acres, this is a rare chance to bid your price on highly desirable farmland that seldom hits the open market in this area.
This tract sells online only, individually or in combination with a second, non-adjoining 50.97± acre tract located on East Loy Road. Bidding opens Monday, September 21, 2026, at 9:00 AM ET. and closes Tuesday, September 22, 2026, at 2:00 PM ET.. Contact Land Specialists Travis Kenton or Tim Woods for your private showing.
Tract 2 Highlights
The bigger tract and a slightly better overall NCCPI at 68.8, but it is not uniform ground, and the aerial shows you why. There is a defined drainage way running north to south through the middle of the field — you can see it plainly in the photograph. That is where the Shoals and Odell ground sits, roughly eight percent of the tract between the two. Shoals is alluvial bottom soil. It farms, but it is the low end of the field and it will be the last of it fit in a wet spring. The other ninety-two percent is the same Crosby, Miamian, Celina and Brookston mix you would expect in this township, and it is good corn and bean ground.

Real Estate Auction Terms and Conditions
Thank you for participating in this auction. Please familiarize yourself with the terms and conditions as all sales are final and irrevocable. The terms of sale are non-negotiable. Good luck and good bidding!
Registration at the auction (online and/or in person) finalizes each bidder's agreement to the terms and conditions of sale as stated in the Contract and its Addenda which are incorporated by reference into your bidding. Do not bid until you have read and agree to the terms and conditions. By bidding you are representing that you have read and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions for this sale as stated herein. DO NOT BID unless you have registered, received a Bidder's Card or paddle number and have read and agreed to be bound by the terms of sale in the Contract as they are enforceable against you upon becoming a high bidder. The successful bidder will be required to execute a Sales Agreement at the conclusion of the auction and submit the appropriate down payment in a timely manner as instructed by the Auctioneer.
All properties are sold "AS IS, WHERE IS" with no financing, inspection or other contingencies to sale. The Broker and Auction Company represent the seller only and do not inspect properties on the bidder's behalf. Read the Contract and Auction Day Notes to determine the existence of any disclosures, exclusions, representations and disclaimers. Do not bid if you have not inspected the property(ies). By bidding you agree to all disclosures.
Buyers receive a deed and Title Insurance Policy as provided by the Closer indicated in the Contract (any mobile/manufactured housing not legally affixed to the property shall only be conveyed by a Hold Harmless Agreement or Quitclaim Bill of Sale unless otherwise noted in the Disclosures). The current year's taxes are prorated through the day of closing as is customary unless otherwise noted or announced on sale day.
Or in abstract states, the seller shall provide a continuation of the abstract of title thru the date of sale for the buyer or buyers attorney to examine.
The sale of this property may be subject to a Buyer's Premium, which will be added to the high bid and included in the total purchase price. Please see the Auction Day Notes, The Contract for Sale, and/or the Auctioneer for specifics about the property you wish to bid on.
Tracts sold by the acre - The contract will indicate the current acreage, bid per acre and the high bid will be the current acreage multiplied by the high bid per acre. If a survey is required prior to closing that would result in a change to acreage, the contract will be adjusted to that acreage prior to closing and the purchase price will reflect that change in acreage.
If a survey is required, it is typically done immediately following the auction. The per acre bid at auction will then be multiplied by actual surveyed acres to determine the final sales price at closing. The purchase agreement and sales day announcements will identify the party responsible for survey cost.
Each high bidder must sign a purchase agreement and make a 10% non-refundable deposit immediately following the auction to the designated Title Company or escrow agent noted on the Purchase Agreement. Cash, wire transfers, cashier's checks, personal checks and business checks (electronically processed) are accepted. For online only auctions, wire transfers are the preferred method for deposits. Wire instructions will be sent from the escrow agent or title company at the conclusion of the auction or the next day. The balance of the purchase price and all closing costs are due within 30 days unless otherwise noted or announced.
Bidding starts at the nominal Opening Bid(s) indicated and is open to the public. The Auctioneer reserves the right to group, add to, delete, withdraw, consolidate or break down lots and/or quantities offered, to sell out of scheduled sequence, to reject any bid which is only a fraction advance over the preceding bid, to regulate bidding, to accept or reject any or all bids, and to cancel or reschedule an auction. The Auctioneer will call the sale and control any increments of bidding. To make a bid, raise your hand or Bid Card to be recognized. The bidding happens quickly. Absentee bids may be accepted at the discretion of the Auctioneer. The Auctioneer reserves the right to enter bids on behalf of absentee bidders. Any mistakes during bidding as to who has the high bid and/or at what price may be called to the Auctioneer's attention and corrected. The Auctioneer is the sole arbiter and controller of the conduct of the auction and shall be the final and absolute authority without liability to any party.
