This land auction near Arcadia in Morgan County, Illinois offers 162.42 reasons for you to take a closer look! These three gorgeous tracts will be the talk of the neighborhood where few opportunities to purchase high-quality farmland come available. Tracts 1 and 2 are nearly entirely tillable, boast Class A soil productivity averages, and drain well due to the strategic placement of field tile. Tract 3 is an affordably-sized mixed use property that offers a little bit of everything – tillable farmland, CRP, woodland, and build-site potential in the highly sought-after Triopia School District. North Morgan Water Co-op is nearby. All tracts are open for the 2027 growing season and are located immediately West of Arcadia, a short 1.5± miles West of Illinois Route 78 approximately 2± miles South of the Cass/Morgan County line. The farms will sell in the Buyer’s Choice format via public auction on Thursday, October 22 with online and in-person bidding options available. Don’t miss out on these great farms.
