Tract 10 totals 10 acres m/l and contains the headquarters of the Kauffman farming operation. The headquarters consists of a nice ranch style home, office building, heated shop, state of the art grain storage system, and ample equipment storage. This turn-key acreage is complete with natural gas, three phase electric service, and fiber optic installed between the home office and shop. Tract 9 is located on the north side of W 19 Road in Section 31 of Precinct 8 Township.
Built in 1973 and consisting of approximately 3,500 square feet, the house contains 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and a half bath. The home is complete with a finished basement, three fireplaces, central heat, and air conditioning. Outside of this Colorado sandstone home, you’ll find a hardscape patio and a yard complete with a lawn sprinkler system. There is also an attached two car garage with central floor drain.
Built in 1979, the headquarters also includes a 60’x80’x16’ fully heated and insulated steel building utilized as the Kauffman Farm shop. The shop is complete with cement floors, floor drains, and a 30’ bi fold door. The shop contains many improvements including a large overhead deck storage area and a bathroom.
The grain bin facility consists of 5 bins that have the capacity to store a combined 164,000 bushels. There are two 55,000 bushel Behlen grain bins built in 1976 and 1979 and three 18,000 bushel Butler grain bins built in 1967-1968. The grain bin site is improved with two grain dryers for on-site drying including one Delux 1,000 bu. N/G grain dryer installed in 2008 and one low profile Delux 1,000 bu. grain dryer installed in the late 90’s. In addition, the facility is equipped with Two York 2,500 bushel grain legs for grain transfer, a 500 bushel boot pit, and a 1,000 bushel dump pit for inbound grain, as well as two 3,000 bushel overhead bins for outbound grain. This turn-key grain bins site has been well maintained and would be a great add-on to a current farming operation.
In 1987, an in-ground truck scale was installed to assist with accurate record keeping of the farming operation. The scale measures 14’x 80’ and contains updated electronic load cells and controls. In the mid 2000’s, the Kauffman’s built a 16’x20’ office near the scale. The office is heated and contains air conditioning.
Tract 10 also includes multiple Behlen storage buildings that have been utilized for both equipment and grain storage in the past. The curvet building on the west side of Tract 10 was built in 1981 and measures 68’x165’. This storage building is complete with full cement floors, two large sliding end doors on both ends, and contains ample lighting. The second storage building between the grain bins and shop was built in 1970 and measures 50’x120’ with 12’ sidewalls. It is also complete with full cement floors and two 20’ sliding end doors. In addition, this storage building contains an overhead auger attached to the grain system.
