11 +/- Acres with Ridge Views, Creek Access, and Direct Border to Hoosier National Forest—Ideal for Building or a Private Retreat MLS#11490146

Located deep in the Southern Indiana countryside yet within easy reach of town, this 11 +/- acre surveyed tract offers the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience. With county road frontage along the entire south boundary, the property provides easy access and multiple potential building sites—either near the road or atop the scenic ridge.

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.
