Property Details
The north boundary of the property borders the Hoosier National Forest, offering direct access to public land for recreation and exploration. A picturesque creek runs just along the north edge on National Forest land, adjacent to a peaceful pine stand that’s ideal for weekend picnics. On the east ridge, another beautiful pine grove awaits, featuring a section of planted chestnut trees that add character and long-term potential to the landscape.
The gently sloping valley that runs through the middle of the property offers a possible site for a pond, pending soil suitability. This land is enrolled in the Indiana Classified Forest and Wildlands Program, providing reduced property taxes for added value. Additional acreage is also available if you’re looking to expand.
Whether you’re planning a country home, hunting retreat, or weekend getaway, this tract offers peace, privacy, and potential with scenic natural features and forest access.
