Set in the rolling countryside of Highland County, this 71.727± acre farm is a true general-purpose property — the kind of place that lets a buyer farm, hunt, and live all on the same ground. It sells in a single tract at auction on Thursday, September 17, 2026, at 1813 Elmville Road, roughly 15 miles southeast of Hillsboro and 11 miles northwest of Peebles.
The land is put together for versatility. About 43 acres are tillable and open for row-crop production, while approximately 13 acres are in pasture — ready for livestock or hay. The balance lies in woods and cedar thickets, providing the kind of cover that draws deer and other wildlife in a part of the state long recognized for its hunting. The terrain runs level to rolling, so the open ground works well for equipment while the wooded draws hold game and offer seclusion.
Improvements add to the property's utility. An older 1½-story farmhouse with three bedrooms and one bath stands on the land, along with several barns and outbuildings suited to equipment, livestock, or storage. The home shows deferred maintenance and is offered as-is — an opportunity for a buyer willing to renovate and make the place their own. Well and septic are already in place, and annual real estate taxes are modest.
Whether the plan is to put the tillable acres to work, hunt the timber, run stock on the pasture, or simply establish a country home base with room to grow, this farm offers the flexibility to do it. Properties that combine productive ground, recreational cover, and a building site in one tract do not surface often, and this one sells to the highest bidder on auction day.
