Land for Auction in Alcester, South Dakota

Peoples Company, in conjunction with Westra Auction Land & Realty, is proud to offer 298.11 acres m/l in Union County, South Dakota, through a live public auction on Thursday, December 10, 2026, at 10:30 AM CST. The auction will be held at the Alcester Golf Course, located at 307 E. 6th Street in Alcester, South Dakota. The property will be offered in three tracts, allowing buyers the opportunity to purchase either of the two individual tracts or the entire 298.11 acres as a single unit.

The farm contains 238 FSA cropland acres, of which approximately 136.80 acres are currently being farmed, with an average NCCPI rating of 68.6 and CPI rating of 61.1 on the tillable acres. Primary soil types include Alcester silty clay loam and Moody silty clay loam. The balance of the farm consists primarily of pastureland, featuring multiple natural springs, mature timber, and a 2-acre pond.

In addition to its agricultural uses, the property offers hunting and fishing opportunities. The mature timber provides cover for whitetail deer, wild turkey, and other wildlife, while the surrounding cropland and pasture offer additional food sources. The 2-acre pond, located near the timber, provides excellent fishing opportunities and adds to the recreational appeal of the farm.

This property would make a great addition to an existing farming operation or an investment for buyers looking for a combination of cropland, pasture, and recreational land. For those considering a future building site, South Lincoln Rural Water has a 2-inch water line running along 299th Street approximately one-half mile west of the property.
