GENERAL DESCRIPTION: Wow Wow Wow!! 474 plus acres of Super High Quality
Buena Vista County Farmland. The Bob and Marilyn Demers Heirs are
offering some of the best in the area in this very unique opportunity for the
discerning buyer(s) to purchase 6 tracts of outstanding farmland and an
acreage with a great location. Since the late 1800’s up to 2024 and today’s
modern farming world, the American farm families have strived to own the
very best farmland they could find. Following in the footsteps of their
ancestors they too see the grand
vision as it lays out the road map to
success that can be passed down
from generation to generation. The
determination and resolve to forge
ahead, good times and bad, following
your dreams and making a commitment
to the future are what makes family
legacies go from a dream to a
reality!! As your forefathers did,
realizing the true value of owning
high quality land will put you light
years ahead of others who don’t
seem to see the value in owning the
BEST. The quest for top quality Ag land continues. Every year there is less
and less opportunity because of consolidation into fewer and fewer hands
and population expansion. Before the opportunities pass you by and its too
late, please give these
tracts, whether its 1
or all, your careful
consideration. Your
family for generations
to come will thank
you for your foresight.
Best of luck to all!
