This Washington State irrigated farm asset is comprised of 957.72 +/- deeded acres across two non-contiguous assets, that are less than three miles apart, in Franklin County, Washington. The farm is located in central Washington State in an area known for dryland wheat production, irrigated row crop production, and hunting opportunities for deer and birds. In addition, this location is just a few minutes drive north of the Snake River, which is a sportsmans paradise for boating and fishing.
There is a total of 675.72 +/- cropland acres included, broken down as follows: 664.49 +/- deeded cropland acres per the Franklin County Farm Service Agency and 11.23 +/- leased cropland acres from the Department of Natural Resources. The final cropland acres are subject to change as a result of pending boundary line adjustments being completed by the Seller prior to closing.
The farm is currently operated under a cash-rent lease to a local farm tenant. The tenant is responsible for all operations costs and property taxes. The historical crop rotation has included alfalfa, timothy hay, wheat, seed corn, and mint. The farm ground has been operated under an annual crop rotation, usually with 100% of the irrigated tillable acres in production each year using typical farming practices for the area.
There are 15 pivot irrigation systems included in the sale of this asset and irrigation water for the farm is provided by groundwater rights sourced from several irrigation wells located on the property. These water rights, included in the sale, are authorized for use on 635.00 irrigable acres. This farm has a significant acre-foot-per-acre water right and Washington State does consider applications to spread existing water rights across additional acres if water-efficient crops and/or irrigation systems are implemented.
There is a 5,832-square-foot hay shed, 1,848-square-foot manufactured house, 1,792-square-foot utility building, and 952-square-foot shop located on the property and included in the sale of this asset. All buildings are currently occupied by the farm tenant.
The total acres included in the sale of this asset are subject to pending boundary line adjustments, which will be completed by the Seller prior to closing.
