Here is an excellent sweet potato ranch opportunity within very close proximity to Highway 140 and close to town! This property easily has the potential to be a nice sweet potato packing shed operation with the two very large insulated warehouses consisting of 12,500+/- square feet of space, with 15 feet of clear height to stack up to 6 potato bins. As per seller, you can store roughly 4,000 bins in combined warehouses. You also get a 10x14 private office/break room within warehouses, 4 roll up doors that are 14ftx12 ft high, excellent lighting throughout, swamp coolers, propane gas lines to hook up heating, 480AMP electrical panel with 3 phase power, and roughly a 40x30 covered and screened in enclosure for equipment. The soil here is prime farm ground for sweet potato, row crops and permanent trees. Two sources of water with MID water with a bridge over canal and a 295 foot deep well with 8 inch casing. A 25HP pump that was installed roughly 3 years ago. You also get a spacious 2,562 square foot ranch home that has 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, central heating and air and an oversized 2 car garage built in 1975.
