*NOTE: BUYERS/BROKER’S PLEASE REVIEW ATTACHED NOTICE IN ABOVE DOCUMENTS
Auction Sales Method: The land will be sold in 4 separate tracts at live public auction, with online bidding available on a price per acre basis to the highest bidder. The trustees have every intention to sell the properties, but they have the right to reject any and all bids. This is a RESERVE Auction, and the final bid will be presented to the owners and their advisors to decide whether to accept the top bid.
Selling as Four Tracts: Tracts 1, 2, 3 and 4 will be offered separately starting with #1 then #2 then #3 then #4. They will not be combined at anytime so if a Buyer wants more than one tract then they need to buy them as they come available. If tracts 1, 2 and 3 sell together then these parcels will not be surveyed. If these tracts sell separately then they will each be surveyed. The multiplier for the closing will be the net acres surveyed times the top bid. Tract 4 was recently surveyed and recorded.
Online Bidding Is Available At Start of Live Auction: Register to bid at http://bid.gannonre.com/auctions. It is the responsibility of the bidders to ensure they have access to a strong internet connection while bidding.

No phone bids will be accepted without prior approval.
Possession: Possession will be granted upon the expiration of the pasture lease on February 28, 2025. The hunting rights are not part of the pasture lease so these rights will belong to the new owners.
Closing: Closing will be on or before September 25th, 2024, but we could accommodate a delayed closing for 1031 exchanges or other reasons if they are approved ahead of August 8th, 2024.
Earnest Money: A 10% earnest money payment is required on the day of the auction. Payments are to be made to the Belin Law Firm Trust Account. The earnest money must be paid in the form of a cashierโs check, cash or wire transfer.
Farm Lease: The subject parcels are leased for grazing and haying purposes for the 2024 crop year. These leases do not allow hunting which is the right of the owners.
Contract and Title: Upon conclusion of the auction and the decision by the sellers, the highest bidder will enter into a real estate sales contract and deposit with Belin Law Firm Trust Account the required earnest money payment. The seller will provide an updated abstract at their expense. The sale is not contingent upon the Buyers financing.
Mineral Rights: All mineral rights will be conveyed to the buyer (if any).
Taxes: Real Estate taxes will be prorated to closing.
Surveys: Tract 4 has been surveyed. A survey will be conducted after the conclusion of the auction on Tracts 1, 2 & 3 if they are sold separately.

Fences: The exterior fences are assumed to be the โright hand ruleโ but this is not guaranteed nor the adequacy of the fences. Any divisions of tracts 1, 2 & 3 will have survey lines that buyers may have to maintain or build new fence on the right had rule between them and the adjoining property.
