• A burdened property refers to a piece of real estate that is subject to a legal restriction or obligation, typically in the form of an easement, covenant, or other encumbrance, which benefits another property (known as the "benefited property") and limits the use or development of the burdened property; essentially, it is land that is "burdened" by a restriction that benefits another parcel of land.
• A benefited property is a property that receives benefits from a project, easement, or other source.
The properties subject to this auction, Tract 1, Tract 2 and Tract 3 have an agricultural irrigation system with corresponding pipeline and electrical runs and service. The system has shared components including but not limited to pipeline and electrical runs which may include an electrical service. The purchaser of Tract 1, Tract 2, Tract 3, or a combination thereof will have deeded to them a share ownership of Parcel 27-10-5-27-3001-006. This parcel is located between the Flint River and Morseville Rd. and is the current location of the pump for the irrigation line for Tract 1, Tract 2, and Tract 3. If the repairs and maintenance are made to the pump system, then all parties with a shared interest shall split the cost to repair or replace said pump equally.
Some parcels in this Auction have signed agreements with landowners regarding the irrigation and/or electric systems. Those agreements may or may not be enforceable.
Some parcels that are not subject to this auction have pipeline and/or electrical lines running under the property, there are signed agreements with landowners regarding the irrigation and/or electric systems run under their property in the form of easements and licenses. Those agreements may or may not be enforceable. The property owners will be responsible for working out any agreement with the other existing owners and/or purchasers of the other Tracts to reach a mutual agreement for the use and apportionment of cost of the irrigation system and power. It is highly recommended that any parties considering purchasing these tracts review the corresponding maps showing the approximate location of the pipeline.
The purchaser of Tract 4 and/or Tract 5, or a combination thereof will be subject to an Easement Agreement for the irrigation and electric systems. After purchase, the purchaser will be responsible for creating an easement/agreement for any shared usage required for the irrigation system to function including the use of the electrical services for the parcels. Some parcels in this Auction have signed agreements with landowners regarding the irrigation and/or electric systems. Those agreements may or may not be enforceable. The property owners will be responsible for working out any agreement with the other existing owners and/or purchasers of the other Tracts to reach a mutual agreement for the use and apportionment of cost of the irrigation system and power.
Crowe Auctions make no representations about the future use of the agricultural irrigation system and discloses that the future use could be predicated on the relationships of separate owners and the enforcement of existing easements or licenses. Crowe Auctions make no representations about the enforceability of these easements or licenses and potential bidders should seek legal advice if they have questions. Seller and Purchasers of individual and/or combination of Tracts of land in this Auction will hold Crowe Real Estate & Auction Co. harmless for any and all issues regarding the functionality or use of the irrigation and corresponding electrical systems.
