For Sale: $1,824,000 or $1,200/acre

This dependable, productive Faulk County farm/ranch, containing 1,520 nearly contiguous acres, is situated in the heart of South Dakota cattle country. The Robert Hoffman family has nurtured the pastures and farm ground of this land (located north of Rockham, SD) for over a half century.

In addition to gently, rolling pastures, the farm includes 790 acres of reliable cropland with few rocks. The various crop tracts have produced some very good dry land yields, despite a recent stretch of dry weather. Steadily improving, the counter cyclical corn yields have reached nearly 90 bu./acre. The stable annual wheat yield is 33 bu./acre and oats have a 35 bu./acre CC yield. Soybeans yields resulted in 28 bu./acre during the drier 2006 season.

The centerpiece of this property is the vast acres of tame and native grasses that can support a profitable livestock business. All of the fields are bordered by durable barb wire fencing and each pasture contains a flowing well - an excellent water supply. A total of nine dugouts also dot the landscape. Many pastures are currently enrolled in a federal grass easement program.

A modern home (Craig Martinmaas family) and two good buildings are available on the balance of the listing. The 5-bedroom Martinmaas house, built in 1984, has a quaint 64’X64’ barn and a functional 32’X 48’ steel building on the property. The house, featuring an attached two-stall garage, is heated by a geo-thermal artesian well unit. As expected, the opportunity for deer hunting is outstanding on this property. The land could also be developed into an excellent pheasant hunting site.
