Entire Farm Description:
Turn-Key Rotational Grazing Cattle Farm with Bear Creek Frontage
Nestled in the rolling countryside of Washington County, this 100± acre farm is a premier turn-key operation for rotational grazing and cattle production. Thoughtfully designed to support a healthy and productive herd, the property includes 68± acres enrolled in a Permanent USDA Grassland Reserve Program (GRP)—ensuring these acres remain dedicated to grassland conservation for generations to come. With few restrictions for cattle farmers, this farm balances efficiency, sustainability, and long-term land stewardship.
A purpose-built water system features an 8,000-gallon well-fed cistern supplying nine established pastures through an extensive network of waterers, hydrants, and holding tanks. Additionally, 1,800± feet of spring-fed Bear Creek frontage offers a reliable natural water source—a valuable backup should the well ever struggle to meet demand.
The farm is well-equipped with a cattle barn and handling facilities, including a head chute with a digital scale, allowing for seamless livestock management. Dedicated hay storage accommodates 200± 4×6 round bales, ensuring ample capacity for forage harvested from the nearly 13± acres of productive hay ground enrolled in the GRP.
Beyond grazing, the property features 18± acres of bottomland tillable ground with productive Class 2 Haymond silt loam soils. These acres, not included in the GRP easement, provide excellent versatility—whether continuing in row crop production, converting to hay, or developing into a prime homestead overlooking Bear Creek bottom.
For those seeking a build site closer to the front of the property, the sellers are open to selling an additional 7± wooded acres separately, offering an ideal setting for a future residence.
With a desirable location, exceptional water resources and well-maintained infrastructure, this property presents a rare opportunity for cattle producers, hay operations or those looking to establish a picturesque rural homestead.
