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). Current year's taxes are prorated through the day of closing as is customary.

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 results in a change to acreage, the contract will be adjusted to that acreage prior to closing and 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 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 auction to the 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 with the Purchase Agreement thru DocuSign. The balance of the purchase price and all closing costs are due within 30 days.

Entire Farm Description: 699.19+/ acres offered in 14 tracts

This beautiful farm is located off of Stone House Rd, Maness Rd, and Pigg Rd. This farm has tons to offer including the two homes, the farming potential, and the all-around great hunting! For starters this farm has many access points from three different county roads, making it easy to find that perfect spot to build a new home or just to access your favorite hunting location. The two homes on the property have already been remodeled on the exterior and just waiting for someone to take them the rest of the way. Home one is an approximately 2400 square foot mostly brick split foyer home and home two is an approximately 1900 square foot two-story farmhouse. There is also a newer 50x60 hay/machine shed on the property with a smaller grain bin in place. This farm also offers two fully stocked ponds ready to fish and enjoy. The larger pond measures around 1.5 acres and is located on the south side of Stone House Road, the smaller pond measures around .5 acres and is located near the north of the property. This farm has nearly 90 acres that are easily used for tillable and hay/pasture ground with many more acres opened up for food plots. This farm still contains several overgrown fields that could easily be cleared for more tillable income or just to make more food plots for the large population of deer and turkey calling this farm home. There are several food plots already established with 8 box blinds already in place. The timber on the property consists primarily of hardwoods with a few cedars spread throughout and also offers excellent deer and turkey hunting. If you are looking for an all-around great farm, this one is a must see! With a variety of acreage and 14 tracts, there is truly something for everyone.
