Description

This property presents substantial acreage in southwest Jackson County, Indiana, configured as a rectangle extending inland from the roadway. Entry to the property includes a pull-through camp area set above the road and screened by tall timber. Two gates, one at each end, facilitate convenient drive-through access. The property's network of trails is robust and well-maintained, allowing the frequent use of SXS and ATVs. These trails traverse diverse terrain, including wooded ridges, creek bottom, and woodland hilltops.

The mature timber stand comprises oak, walnut, hickory, gum, poplar, and varied understory and age classes. Even in the summer months, visibility through the woods extends 100 yards or more, aiding navigation and wildlife observation. Trail routes descend through hills and ridges to a wide-open creek bottom, then ascend to a long, tall ridge on the far side. Wildlife activity is evident; several deer and wild turkey were encountered upon entry, indicating daily habitat use.

Access is convenient: the property sits a short distance from U.S. 50, providing straightforward regional travel to the east or west. Nearby towns offer practical amenities: Brownstown and Bedford are the closest centers for dining and shopping; Seymour and Bloomington lie a modest drive away and offer broader lodging, dining, and entertainment options. Several state and national recreation areas are within reach, including nearby Jackson-Washington State Forest and Spring Mill State Park to the southwest and portions of Hoosier National Forest and Austin Bottoms not far away. Indianapolis is approximately 1.5 hours north, and Louisville is about one hour south, making this property a logical midpoint gathering spot.

Overall, this parcel offers substantial timbered acreage, mechanical access via trails, gated privacy, and proximity to infrastructure and amenities, offering versatility for recreation, hunting, or retreat.
