Located at the end of a long, dead-end road in Switzerland County, Indiana, this parcel is known as “The Bird Sanctuary.” The property received its name from former owners who spent many days observing and enjoying the wildlife that thrived within its boundaries. Over the years, it has remained undeveloped and largely untouched, preserving its natural character and habitat.
Remnants of past farming activity are still visible across the ridgetop, where rusted plows and tillers remain embedded in the landscape, some with trees grown around them over the last several decades. These features tell the story of the property’s history while highlighting how long the land has been left to return to its natural state.
The property supports abundant deer and turkey populations, indicating balanced habitat and ample woody browse. The combination of cover, food sources, and natural travel corridors provides strong recreational and hunting potential for those interested in pursuing game or simply maintaining a private retreat in a secluded setting.
Switzerland County is well known for its agricultural base, rolling hills, and outdoor recreation. The area features a mix of working farms, family homesteads, crop fields, and larger agricultural operations. This rural community is valued for its farming heritage and hunting opportunities, which continue to draw outdoorspeople to the region.
The property also offers convenient access to surrounding towns. Rising Sun, located to the northeast, provides dining, amenities, and entertainment along the Ohio River. Vevay and Florence offer additional services to the south and are home to the Belterra Casino and resort. Together, these communities provide a balance of rural seclusion with nearby conveniences.
This tract represents an opportunity to own acreage in a part of Indiana known for farming and wildlife. Tucked away at the end of the road, it offers privacy, hunting potential, and a connection to the agricultural landscape of Switzerland County.
