Kosciusko County farm sells for $20,000 an acre, highlighting strong demand for high-quality farmland in Indiana.
Nestled just 45 miles west of Fort Wayne, Indiana, Kosciusko County is renowned for its vibrant arts scene, over 100 picturesque lakes, and expansive farmland. One standout example is the Huffman & Weber Farm, a 47.5-acre property that recently sold for an impressive $950,000.
This property, auctioned by Schrader Auction Company on November 25, 2024, fetched $20,000 per acre—a testament to the value of high-quality farmland in the area. We spoke with Joe Kessie, one of the auction agents on this listing along with Luke Schrader, and he helped paint a picture of all this property has to offer. Comprised of five separate tracts ranging from 6 to 15 acres, the farm offers the flexibility to either maintain the land as a unified farming operation or develop smaller farm sites. Sold to a neighboring land owner, Kessie explained that this property attracted a lot of local attention due to its agricultural capacity.
Of the 47.5 acres, 44.9 acres are tillable, with a National Commodity Crop Productivity Index (NCCPI) score of 68.5 out of 100. This score emphasizes the land's productivity potential, especially for crops like corn, which has historically been grown on 26 acres of the property. The soil, composed of various loam types, provides excellent conditions for farming.
The property’s layout includes ample frontage road access, ensuring convenience no matter which tract you’re on. Its combination of fertile soil, contiguous tracts, and strategic location makes it an exceptional choice for both farming and future development.
With limited ground for sale, Kessie mentioned that he sees “buyers getting more aggressive when there is land on the market.” The sale of the Huffman & Weber Farm highlights that strong demand for quality farmland, especially in Indiana. Whether used for large-scale farming or smaller agricultural endeavors, properties like this one underscore the enduring value of productive land.
