Tract 3: 60± ac
Located with frontage along County Road 35, this tract offers a very deep nearly 60 acre farm site. There are approximately 985 feet of road frontage.

The soils on the tract are mostly Riddles-Oshtemo fine sandy loams.

Tract 4: 25± ac SWING TRACT
Located between Tracts 3 and 5, this tract has a much lower elevation and contains a small open drain across the tract.

Its soils are mostly Rensselaer loam and Brookston loam.

Tract 5: 67± ac
Located with frontage along County Road 36. This tract offers a gorgeous view overlooking the valley created by the elevations. It is mostly elevated along the road and then slopes to the southwest to create the valley which feeds into Tract 4. There is approximately 1825 feet of road frontage. The combination of Tracts 2 and 5 would be a rectangular 100+ acre farm. The soils are mixed on the tract as the elevations change.
