Welcome to Arneson Auction Service. If you are considering selling ranch land, recreational property, or other real property in Western South Dakota, we can help you maximize your return.

Lonnie is a licensed real estate auctioneer.

Located near Elm Springs, South Dakota, we work in the heart of ranch country where properties support cattle, horses, and abundant wildlife. Many of the properties we sell also offer excellent deer and antelope hunting, with some suitable for turkey, waterfowl, and upland game habitat. Our experience in this region gives us a deep understanding of land value, usage, and buyer interest, helping us present your property to the right audience. Whether you’re selling a family homestead or a well-managed hunting tract, we focus on delivering a professional and efficient auction process.

Professional Auction Marketing That Works

The auction method of marketing is one of the most effective ways to bring serious buyers together, stimulate competition, and achieve strong sale results. Our education, experience, and network capabilities stimulate bidding activity and secure competitive market prices.

An auction does not just happen. It requires:

  • Careful planning and market knowledge
  • Clear, honest valuation and strategy
  • High-quality property photography and presentation
  • Targeted advertising to qualified buyers
  • Professional on-site sale management and bid calling

With colorful advertising, online promotion, and professional signage, much of the selling is already done before sale day. We understand that we only have one chance to make your auction a success — and we are committed to doing just that.

Why Sell Land at Auction?

For ranches, agricultural land, and hunting properties, auctions create urgency and bring qualified buyers together at once. This competitive environment often leads to higher sale results than private negotiation.

Whether you are selling a multi-generation ranch, an estate property, or transitioning land to new ownership, we handle the process with respect, honesty, and clear communication.
