PROPERTY INFO

Description

Lafayette County, Wisconsin Land Auction – Mark your calendar for Thursday, November 10th, 2022, at 10:00 AM! Peoples Company is honored to be representing the Teutschmann family in the sale of 200.32± taxable acres located between Darlington and Shullsburg, Wisconsin. This sale will be a 'NO-RESERVE' auction, which means the farm will sell to the highest bidder. The Farm will be offered in three individual tracts ranging from 40± acres to 120± acres via the "Multi-Par" auction method. The tracts can be purchased individually or combined. Southern Lafayette County farmland is a tightly held asset with ownership often transferring from generation to generation and rarely comes up for sale. This farm has not been available to the public in over 60 years making it a rare opportunity to own an exceptional farm in the heart of Lafayette County! These high-quality farmland tracts would make a great addition to an existing farming operation, an investment-grade quality land purchase, or a long-term investment.

In addition, there are several competing grain marketing options located nearby including ethanol plants combined with a variety of grain elevators to merchandise crops. The farm is available for the 2023 cropping season and has been operated by the Teutschmann family for over 63 years. The Teutshmann family has meticulously cared for this farm and has been an outstanding steward of the land from day one.
