This exceptional Buyer’s Choice auction presents 620± acres offered in multiple tracts in Lake County, Indiana, with productive farmland, strong locations, and long-term land ownership appeal. Located near Crown Point, Lowell, Cedar Lake, and Hebron, this offering creates opportunities for local farmers, regional operators, investors, builders, 1031 exchange buyers, family offices, and institutions.
Each tract is currently in agricultural production, with an open lease for 2026. The land offers strong agricultural utility while also benefiting from proximity to growth areas, major transportation routes, and expanding Northwest Indiana demand.
In addition to continued agricultural use, select tracts may offer future potential for rural homesites, commercial development, or other long-term land use opportunities, subject to applicable zoning, approvals, utility access, and regulations. With scale, location, and productive cropland, this auction offers a rare combination of income-producing farmland and future optionality.
The properties will be offered using the Buyer’s Choice Auction method during a live in-person and online simulcast auction. This format allows the high bidder to select one tract, multiple tracts, or continue purchasing until all tracts have been chosen, providing maximum flexibility for buyers. Please review the Auction Terms and Conditions for complete details.
