Held at the Gary Cunningham Event Center

Peoples Land Co., LLC is honored to present 185± acres of highly productive Macon County farmland owned by Frank and Diana Scott. This property will be offered at public auction on Thursday, April 2nd at 6:00 PM at the Gary Cunningham Event Center in La Plata, Missouri. After nearly five decades of ownership and careful stewardship, the Scott’s have made the decision to downsize, creating a meaningful opportunity for the next owner to invest in a well-maintained tract of land with a great location.
Situated along Highway 156 just east of La Plata, this farm lies in the northern portion of Macon County and offers outstanding accessibility with highway frontage. The property consists of approximately 185 acres (subject to final survey), with an approximate 160 acres currently in tillable production. The gently rolling topography promotes both efficient farming practices and natural drainage, while the high percentage of productive acreage enhances overall income potential.
Beyond its agricultural strength, the property holds significant appeal for investors, and recreational buyers. The balance of open ground and surrounding cover provides attractive habitat for wildlife, offering excellent hunting and outdoor enjoyment opportunities. With its proximity to La Plata and convenient highway access, the farm also presents an exceptional setting to construct a country home with the benefit of paved road frontage and quick access to town amenities.
The property will be offered as a single tract and sold subject to final survey, allowing buyers to acquire the entire acreage as one cohesive unit. Whether you are looking to expand your farming operation, diversify your investment portfolio, or secure a well-located tract with long-term upside potential, this Macon County farm deserves serious consideration. We invite you to join us on Thursday, April 2nd at 6:00 PM to participate in this outstanding land auction opportunity.
