Whitetail Properties Real Estate is proud to offer this high-quality combination farm for sale. This property is located amongst the MidAmerican Energy Arbor Hill wind farm and has one, 2 MegaWatt wind turbine on the property. Construction of the turbine took place in 2018 and it is currently producing renewable energy for Central Iowa. The easement to the turbine is located along the north property line and this location minimized disruption to standard farming practices. The farm has well above county average soils (74.9 CSR2) and enough slope to quickly drain the tillable acres for increased productivity.  Additionally, there are just over 10 acres of quality pasture for another source of income and to maximize the profitability of the farm. The woven wire and wood post fencing is less than 2 years old and is not only ideal for cattle, but also for smaller livestock like sheep or goats. Every aspect of this farm produces income: wind turbine lease, tillable production acres and pasture. If you’re a first-time farm buyer or seasoned farming operator, this would be a great farm to add to your portfolio. For more information about this farm, call the Listing Agent today.
