Description
This wooded property is located in the hills along the Jackson/Brown County line in a low-traffic, rural setting. The tract sits at the end of a dead-end road, resulting in minimal vehicle traffic and a secluded feel.
The land is primarily wooded with mature hardwoods and rolling to hilly terrain typical of this area. There is noted timber value on the property, along with long open views through portions of the hillsides. A small pond is located on the tract and may offer potential for expansion.
One of the defining features of this property is its adjacency to the Hoosier National Forest. More than 700 acres of public forest land lie between this parcel and the next public roadway, providing extensive access to publicly managed ground. The Hoosier National Forest encompasses thousands of acres in this region and is renowned for its mature hardwood forests and diverse recreational opportunities, including hiking, hunting, and wildlife observation. This adjacency significantly extends usable recreational acreage without ownership or maintenance responsibilities.
The property was formerly used as a full-time residence, though it has not been occupied in several years. Access is provided by an easement that historically served as the driveway when the residence was occupied. The surveyor is working on marking the easement for clarity. Buyers should confirm utility availability and capacity if future building is contemplated.
While the property offers a secluded setting, State Road 135 is located nearby, providing convenient north-south travel. This allows reasonable access to nearby communities, including Brownstown, Seymour, and Columbus. The combination of timbered acreage, utility access, public land adjacency, and location makes this tract suitable for recreational use, land investment, or potential future residential use.
