Live Real Estate Auction | Saturday, November 14, 2026 | Stark County, Ohio

SELLING ABSOLUTE: Welcome to Blossom Creek Farm! Located between Canton and East Sparta, Ohio, this remarkable 70.1± acre property offers a rare combination of agricultural production, business potential, country living, and recreational opportunities. Currently operating as an established blueberry and flower farm with a direct-to-consumer retail business, this property has the infrastructure in place for a buyer to continue the existing operation or bring an entirely new vision to life.

The property will be offered at auction in 7 individual tracts, combinations of tracts, or as an entire 70.1± acre farm, creating opportunities for a wide range of buyers. Whether you're looking to own an established agricultural business, expand your farming operation, purchase a country home, invest in a short-term rental, or build your dream home overlooking the countryside, this auction offers something for everyone.

Blossom Creek Farm is an established blueberry and specialty flower operation featuring approximately 6,000 blueberry bushes across four varieties: Duke, Bluecrop, Elliott, and Brigitta. In addition to direct-to-consumer sales through the farm's retail shop, the farm also supplies blueberries to Gervasi Vineyard, highlighting an existing commercial relationship and additional market for its production.

These established plantings provide a strong foundation for continued blueberry production, with an irrigation system supplied by a beautiful 1.8± acre pond. Approximately 12 acres of tall fencing surrounds the blueberry and flower fields to help protect the plants from wildlife.

In addition to the established blueberry operation, Blossom Creek Farm features approximately 800 peony plants and an impressive variety of specialty cut flowers. The flower fields were planted in 2026 with 14 varieties, including snapdragons, yarrow, statice, feverfew, dill, sunflowers, zinnias, ageratum, amaranth, gomphrena, spike celosia, cockscomb celosia, marigolds, and cosmos.

This diverse flower production offers additional opportunities for direct-to-consumer sales, fresh-cut bouquets, farmers’ markets, floral arrangements, and potential agritourism experiences. Combined with the existing retail farm shop, blueberry production, and greenhouse space, the flower operation adds another exciting dimension to this established agricultural business.

Multiple agricultural outbuildings provide valuable storage, workspace, and operational flexibility. Several buildings feature concrete floors, electricity, and water, along with two large cooler spaces that could continue serving the agricultural operation or potentially be repurposed for other uses. Two older outbuildings had their metal roofs resurfaced in 2026, adding to the recent improvements throughout the property.

The possibilities for growth are exciting! Continue operating the established blueberry and flower farm, expand the retail business, introduce additional crops, or explore agritourism opportunities. With approximately 6,000 established blueberry bushes, peony production, blackberry plantings, irrigation infrastructure, and significant agricultural improvements already in place, this property provides a tremendous foundation for its next owner.

On the north side of the road sits a beautifully remodeled 3-bedroom, 2-full-bath home, updated in 2026, offering modern comforts while maintaining the charm of country living. The home features two fireplaces, a convenient main-level laundry, and an attached two-car garage currently transformed into a game room and entertainment space. Just outside, a large concrete paver driveway provides additional room for parking and gatherings.

Near the home are a charming red barn, an additional detached garage, and a gazebo overlooking the blueberry fields, creating an inviting setting to relax and enjoy the countryside. The red barn, gazebo, and garage all received new roofs in 2025, providing additional value to these improvements.

Currently operating as a successful Airbnb, the home offers flexibility for its next owner. Continue utilizing the property as a short-term rental investment, enjoy it as a weekend retreat, or make it your own full-time country residence. With its recent remodel, attractive improvements, and beautiful setting, this property offers excellent versatility.

Beyond the farm improvements, the remaining acreage features rolling terrain, open ground, scenic hilltops, and beautiful views of the surrounding countryside. Several areas offer outstanding potential building sites where you can enjoy the peaceful rural setting. Additional opportunities could include expanding agricultural production, establishing a hobby farm, creating a fenced pasture for livestock, or enjoying the property for recreational purposes. A wooded section with abundant deer sign adds hunting appeal, while frontage along Nimishillen Creek provides another unique natural feature.

One of the most attractive aspects of this auction is the flexibility to purchase the acreage that best fits your needs. Buyers interested in the complete blueberry operation should strongly consider combining Tracts 1 and 2, which together offer 30.3± acres and bring together the established blueberry fields, primary irrigation pond, retail shop, greenhouses, and supporting farm infrastructure.

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.

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.
