It will be a Friday frenzy for buyers hunting for productive cropping country on the red hot Yorke Peninsula.
Agents for Ray White have three online auctions running parallel tomorrow afternoon in a triple auction treat for the Bensen family's long-held cropping country at the top of the YP.
Going on recent sales results, the land could make more than $9 million in total.
On offer is three parcels of land taking in a combined 466 hectares (1150 acres).
One of the paddocks even has a small gold mine although the Kadina district is historically more famous for copper.
The Bensen's are hanging onto their home and home block on 108ha (266 acres) with a winning buyer of the first lot offered first rights to lease the cropping land for the next three years.
The auction schedule (through Openn Negotiation) is:
Auction one (2pm close) - Rodda Road, Boors Plain - 299ha (737 acres).
Auction two (3pm close) - Beare Road, Kadina - 134ha (332 acres).
Auction three (4pm close) - Copper Coast Highway, Thrington- 33ha (80.5 acres).
Agent David Bussenschutt said the YP farming land had been in the Bensen family "for many years".
Mr Bussenschutt sold a single add-on paddock (82ha) at Cunliffe, just south of Kadina, for $1.6 million a few weeks ago.
With his latest sales campaign, the largest lot in Boors Plain includes cropping land on both sides of Rodda Road with the house block not part of the sale, but available for lease.
Internal fencing has been removed and the property has been continuously cropped.
A wheat harvest has been completed and stubble will be cut, baled and removed before settlement day.
The second auction is at 117 Beare Road, Kadina.
This block is located on the northern side of the Copper Coast Highway and has two sections combined into one large paddock.
The first section has a home and shedding while it is the second section which has the Bensen's small gold mining operation.
The final auction (closing at 4pm) is a small block on the Copper Coast Highway, Thrington.
It also has two sections on the corner of Mitchell Road and the highway.
Agents say this block has also been continuously cropped with internal fences removed.
