Entire Farm Description:
Here’s a nice income producing farm with tillable ground, woods, hunting, and possible future home sites that has been owned by the same family for over 125 years! This larger, 135-acre parcel is located in Jasper County, Indiana and has a Rensselaer mailing address. It’s in a convenient and desirable location just about 5 miles south of Wheatfield, Indiana and 10 miles north of downtown Rensselaer. Commuting to some of the larger shopping areas or to some nearby major cities is not that difficult with State Road 49 and US Highway 231 just minutes away and I-65 less than 10 miles away. With these travel options, a drive to Chicago is under 1.5 hours and to Indianapolis in less than 2.5 hours. This piece of land has many unique and desirable features and different uses so it could provide benefits to many different types of buyers. Clearly the 90 plus acres of tillable farm ground is the cornerstone of the property. Consisting of some sandy loam soils and drained muck soils it has been a consistent producer of corn and bean crops. A central drainage ditch and a low area on the north side may allow for some improved drainage of even a great pond site for water retention and as a desirable improvement to the property. The balance of the property supports a great mix of woods and mature timber including several species of oaks, hickory, cherry, walnut, and other hard and softwood trees. Much of the 2000+ feet of road frontage is all wooded with the timber stretching out into the farm fields with some attractive cuts and fingers. This could also be a good real estate investment with increased land values and residential building in this area. Many land buyers and home builders have sought out properties in quaint farming towns like this one for their future homesite. You get the privacy, seclusion and benefits that rural towns and county living offer but the convenience and amenities you can utilize in just a short drive and easy road access.
Tract 1 Description:
This 85 +/- acre tract is a perfect mix of good producing tillable farm ground, wide open spaces, and wooded acreage and future opportunities. With this you will have a property that offers a good balance in a multi-use or investment property. With almost 50 acres of tillable farm ground, it has been a reliable producer with consistent yields and steady income from cash rent or a nice addition to your current farming operation. It may also be some of the property's other features that you may find more appealing with the current or potential uses. In addition to the farm ground, the balance of the property consists of approximately 35 acres of timber and woods lining the 1300 feet of road frontage. It’s a mix of hardwood and softwood trees with varying age structure. With gently varying changes in the elevation and topography and several fingers and cuts where the woods reach out or recede in and out of the adjacent farm ground create some interesting and appealing natural features. Because of the diverse and natural habitat, the property is attractive to deer, turkey and other wildlife. It is also a great property for hunting and recreational use. Additionally, its location and the presence of some newer residential building in the area suggest that this property may also be a good place for your future home or hobby farms. It is not very often that a property of this size and so many potential opportunities and uses becomes available. If a larger or smaller piece of land fits your need better, there is also a 50-acre parcel with a farm ground and timber mix that could be purchased together with this one or by itself.
Tract 2 Description:
Offered for auction is a nice, 50 +/- acre, mixed-use property which offers a lot of opportunity and benefits to the future owner. The first of many is the FSA reported 45.68 acres of productive farm ground. Consisting of some loamy sand and drained muck soils, and Weighted Average Productivity Index (WAPI) of 131.1, it could add some additional acres to your current farming operation or be a source of consistent and reliable income for the new owner. Located in Jasper County, Rensselaer, Indiana and in an area of predominant farming with some existing rural residential homes as well as newer homes and hobby farms. With a nice mix of production farm ground, a section of mature timber and brush and a small wetland area, this property is suited for many purposes. Of course, farming or farming income is a big benefit but hunting, recreation, conservation or for a future homesite are also possible uses. It has excellent paved road frontage and good access and several spots that could be suitable building sites. Being split off of a larger 135-acre property, there is also a 85 acres tract available as well.
