Wheeler Auction and Real Estate is honored to navigate the liquidation of this prime real estate know as the Branson Family Farm at the Higginsville Junction of I-70 and HWY 13. The entire Branson family has decided it is time to move on. This land has been in the Branson family for well over 100 years. We believe it is the ultimate location for new business growth along I-70 Kansas City/St. Louis and the North/South Springfield to Iowa corridors. Land with this kind of frontage along an intersection that sees over 35,000 vehicles pass by each day is increasingly difficult to procure. This auction will make it easy for area residents, farmers, developers, or investors to reap the spoils of good investment timing and money. We invite you to be with us at this historic land auction, Monday, September 23rd, 2013, visit with the Branson Family and the Roncelli’s, and allow the Wheeler Auction staff to be of service to you.
