THIS AUCTION FEATURES AN AUTO BID EXTEND: When a bid is placed in the final 3 minutes of bidding, the auction bidding will be automatically extended 3 minute (i.e., if an auction scheduled to close at 6:00 receives a bid at 5:59, the close time will automatically extend to 6:03). The auto extend feature remains active until no further bids are received within a 3-minute time frame.
NOTE: It is very IMPORTANT that every Bidder read and understand the terms & conditions BEFORE bidding (either online or LIVE). Each Bidder is solely responsible for inspecting this property BEFORE bidding (property is sold AS IS, WHERE IS).
We strongly encourage all bidders to inspect/ask questions regarding this potential purchase.
This auction will be conducted using the Ultimate Choice auction platform which allows Bidders to bid on single or multiple lots. There will be (3) rounds of bidding: single lots, combinations (a combination is one or more lots) and then as a whole (a whole is the entire 16 acres±). During all 3 rounds, a bidder may bid on a single lot.
Here is a mini tutorial on how to bid:
To Bid: Hover your cursor over the tract you want to bid on and click on it. The box on the right side of the picture will display bidding information. You should see the lot you're wishing to bid on highlight and you will see the selected tracts in the yellow box beneath the tract selector. (If you do not, go back to the map and select your lot.) When you see your tract number, click on "Get Price". Now you will see what your bid price must be. In the white rectangular box with the dollar sign in it, you may either type in the asking bid or you may type in the ultimate price you wish to pay for that lot ("max bid"). By putting in a max bid, the bidding platform will NOT automatically take your bid to your max but will follow the increments set up in the bidding platform.
Round 1 (now until November 10th at 12 Noon) bidding allows bidding on individual lots at a time. You may bid on multiple lots right now but only at the lot level and this will not create a combination bid. More to come on combinations below.
Round 2 will begin at 12 Noon on Monday, November 10th, *the combination round, which allows bidders to bid on multiple lots by selecting each lot (or all lots) you wish to bid. Again, you will click on "Get Price" to see the asking bid and the cost.
Round 3 will begin at 12 Noon on Wednesday, November 12th, *the whole round, which allows bidders to bid on the entire property by selecting all lots and clicking "Get Price" to see the asking bid and cost. NOTE: During Round 3, bidders may select single lots and back out a certain lot out of a combination or the whole.
Bidding will begin to close at 7 PM on Thursday, November 13th, 2025.
THIS AUCTION FEATURES AN ALL- AUTO BID EXTEND: When a bid is placed in the final 3 minutes of bidding, the auction bidding will be automatically extended 3 minutes from the time the bid was placed (i.e., if an auction scheduled to close at 6:00 receives a bid at 5:59, the close time will automatically extend to 6:03).
