This significant land auction offers approximately 4,398 acres of quality North Dakota farmland located across Steele & Traill, Wells, and Barnes Counties. All the land will be offered through three separate timed online only auction events! The portfolio is anchored by 3,089 acres in Steele and Traill Counties, consisting of large, contiguous tracts with productive soils and strong farming characteristics typical of some of the most desirable land in the region. The Wells County land includes approximately 750 acres of cropland with some recreational and pasture appeal that would integrate into just about any farming operation, while the Barnes County property includes approximately 559 acres with the added benefit of established wind tower income from 7 towers.
The property is owned by the Edson & Margaret Larson Foundation, a charitable organization that provides educational scholarships to students throughout the region. This auction presents an opportunity to invest in a substantial amount of high-quality farmland! All of the land is available to farm or rent to the operator of the buyer’s choosing.
