Gladstone Land Corporation (LAND - Free Report) recently acquired 165 gross acres of farmland near Milton-Freewater in Oregon for $2.4 million. With this, LAND entered into a 10-year, triple-net lease agreement with a leading tenant in the wine industry.
However, shares of Gladstone have been revised marginally downward to $28.57 since the announcement, reflecting broader market concerns.
The property located in a setting of land overlooking the Walla Walla Valley will be used by the tenant to plant a vineyard. The acquisition seems a strategic fit as the acquired land is established with water rights.
This buyout will strengthen Gladstone’s existing foothold in Oregon. Previously, in August, LAND had acquired $42.3 million of farmland, blueberry plantings and improvements in Kern County in California plus Yamhill County in Oregon.
Additionally, last month, Gladstone acquired nearly 230 gross acres of farmland comprising 175 acres of blueberry bushes, and a fresh packing and shipping facility in Homerville, GA, for $2.9 million. This marked LAND’s first acquisition in Georgia. As part of the purchase, LAND entered into a 15-year lease agreement with a regional farmer.
Gladstone is well poised to grow with more than$190 million of new acquisitions this year. During the third quarter, LAND acquired five new farms covering 1,516 acres in California, Florida and Oregon, and another 5,000 acre-feet of banked water for $62.3 million.
Shares of this currently Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) LAND have appreciated 19.8% year to date compared with the industry’s growth of 4.3%.
