Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 17, 2014, Gladstone Land Corporation (the "Company") won , at a public auction, the right to acquire 332 acres of cropland located in Monterey County, California (the "Property"), for a purchase price of approximately $17.0 million (the "Winning Bid"). The Winning Bid was accepted by John L. McDonnell, Jr., as trustee of the Jarvis Replacement Administrative Trust. The Property is irrigated farmland that is primarily farmed for strawberries and vegetables. The transaction is expected to close on January 5, 2015, and the Company intends to finance this acquisition primarily through its new facility with Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation ("Farmer Mac").

The purchase of the Property is subject to certain closing conditions, and there can be no assurance that the acquisition will be consummated by a certain time, or at all.

Certain statements and assumptions in this filing contain or are based upon "forward-looking" information and are being made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are subject to numerous assumptions and uncertainties, many of which are outside the Company’s control. The Company undertakes no obligations to publicly release the result of any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect any future events or circumstances, except as required by law.
