Property Description
Peoples Company is proud to present 212 acres m/l of high-quality farmland in Lewis County, Missouri, to be sold at public auction. This offering consists of three tracts situated between Taylor and Durham, Missouri, and provides an excellent opportunity for operators, investors, and those seeking a rural lifestyle. With highly tillable acres, rural water availability, and diverse features including a potential homesite and recreational appeal, this auction offers something for everyone.
Tract One includes 150 acres m/l with approximately 126.25 tillable acres, representing nearly 90 percent tillable farmland. With blacktop frontage and gently rolling terrain, this tract provides efficient field access, smooth operations, and strong drainage characteristics across multiple soil types. Predominant soils include Arbela silt loam, Blackoar silt loam, and Gifford silt loam, which are recognized for their fertility and crop-producing potential. With an average NCCPI rating of 80.1 and primarily Class II and III soils, this tract offers excellent productivity for corn and soybeans. Its large contiguous field structure is well-suited for modern equipment, while proximity to area grain markets and rural infrastructure adds long-term investment value.
Tract Two consists of 53.8 acres m/l with 50.42 tillable acres, representing nearly 94 percent of the tract. Located southwest of Durham, Missouri, this tract features gently rolling topography, county road access, and rural water availability. Soils are primarily Putnam, Leonard, and Kilwinning silt loams, carrying an average NCCPI of 64.8. A portion of the tract includes Gorin silt loam, a higher-quality soil with an NCCPI of 76. With strong farming potential, efficient layout, and immediate possession after the 2025 crop year, this tract is well-positioned for row cropping, expansion, or long-term investment.
Tract Three offers 11.7 acres m/l with approximately 6.28 tillable acres, complemented by a balance of wooded timber and county road frontage on two sides. This tract combines productivity with recreational value in a quiet rural setting. Tillable soils include Gorin silt loam and Keswick clay loam, averaging an NCCPI of 72.4. These soils provide strong conditions for row cropping or hay production. The timbered portion offers abundant wildlife habitat, including whitetail deer, and enhances the property's recreational appeal. With access to county water, this tract is well suited for a homesite, hobby farm, or mixed-use retreat while still generating income from the tillable acres.
Farmland in this region is rarely offered to the public, as it is often held within families for generations. This auction provides a unique opportunity to acquire land with strong soils, desirable features, and excellent access to local grain markets. The farm is leased through the 2025 cropping season, with tenancy open for 2026.
