Seller’s mineral rights convey to the buyer but there is a current oil/gas lease on the property. 2023 production was approximately $14, 000 but no production in 2024. Seller is of the opinion that oil/gas lease may be able to be purchased back from Lessee. Seller is interested in negotiating a post-closing lease for grazing rights, if mutually agreeable with buyer.  Definition of 'selling by the acre': A method of sale often used for agricultural or undeveloped acreage in which bids are made based on a per acre price. By way of example, if a 160-acre parcel was offered “by the acre” the high bid may be $5, 000 an acre. That amount would then be multiplied times the total acreage to arrive at a total bid price of $800, 000 (plus Buyer’s Premium, if applicable). For the purposes of calculating the total sales price, the acreage will be rounded to the nearest whole acre. For example, a parcel with 158.7 acres would be offered as 159 acres or a parcel is 158.3 would be offered as 158 acres. *Buyer should verify school assignments as they are subject to change. The real estate is offered at public auction in its present, “as is where is” condition and is accepted by the buyer without any expressed or implied warranties or representations from the seller or seller’s agents. Full auction terms and conditions provided in the Property Information Packet. Total purchase price will include a 10% buyer’s premium ($1, 500.00 minimum) added to the final bid. Property available to preview by appointment. Earnest money is due from the high bidder at the auction in the form of cash, check, or immediately available, certified funds in the amount of $30, 000.
