About this home
129.94 Acre survey just completed! High-Productivity Tiled Farmland for Sale - Steele County, Minnesota (West Side of 218, that 19.36 acres (of the original 150) is pending under contract)
Prime Agricultural Investment | Near Claremont Ethanol Plant | 1031 Exchange Eligible | Estimated $300/Acre Cash Rent Potential
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a turnkey, income-producing Minnesota farm with exceptional soil quality, extensive drainage infrastructure, and strong local grain marketing advantages. Located in Aurora Township, Steele County (Section 8, T106N R19W), this 130.4-acre property (subject to survey and split) has been under the dedicated care of the same operator for over 55 years, reflecting pride of consistent stewardship.
Superior Soil Productivity (CPI 91.4 Weighted Average): Among the highest in the region. Major soil types include Webster clay loam, Glencoe clay loam, Nicollet clay loam, and Clarion loams - classic, high-yielding southern Minnesota soils ideal for corn, soybeans, and other row crops. Excellent yield potential and long-term soil health.
Extensive Drain Tile Infrastructure: The land features comprehensive drainage improvements. Historical maps from Hodgman Drainage Company (detailed 1990s installations) show thousands of feet of 4", 5", and 6" tile lines that effectively manage these naturally heavier (poorly to somewhat poorly drained) soils, maximizing tillable acres and reliability in Minnesota's climate. Full tile maps available for review.
Favorable Topography & High Usability: Gently rolling to level terrain (elevations 1,211-1,246 ft, mean ~1,229 ft) with modern equipment-friendly slopes. Minimal wetlands (only 1.34 acres per National Wetland Inventory) - the vast majority is highly tillable cropland.
Strong Cash-Flow Potential: Estimated market cash rent of $300 per acre at 124.85 acres supports approximately $37,455+/- in annual gross rental income. Steele County and surrounding south-central Minnesota farmland commands premium rents for quality tiled ground due to strong tenant demand and proven productivity.
Strategic Location Near Claremont Ethanol Plant: Conveniently positioned with excellent proximity to the Al-Corn Clean Fuel ethanol plant in nearby Claremont, MN. This provides local grain buyers, shorter hauling distances, lower transportation costs, and enhanced marketing flexibility - a major operational and economic advantage for both owner-operators and absentee investors.
1031 Tax-Deferred Exchange Opportunity: Seller is seeking to relinquish this property for a replacement opportunity.
Additional Investment Highlights:
Long-term consistant operator (55+ years) ensures the property has been well-maintained with investments in drainage and soil care.
Clean, productive asset with minimal improvements beyond excellent drainage and soil base - ready for your plans or continued rental.
in one of America's most reliable agricultural regions.
Coordinates: Approx. 44.0045°N, 93.1413°W - easy to locate on mapping platforms.
This is a low-management, high-performing agricultural real estate investment in the heart of Minnesota's fertile farmland belt. Whether you are an investor, 1031 exchanger, or expanding farm operator, this property offers proven cash flow, strong fundamentals, and future appreciation potential in a stable U.S. ag market.
