Located north of SR-56 in northeastern Dubois County near the Martin and Orange County lines, this approximately 30-acre wooded property offers an opportunity to create a Southern Indiana homestead, cabin retreat, or recreational property. With a 1/4-acre pond, potential homesite, established access, and nearby utility infrastructure, this property offers several features that may appeal to buyers looking to build and enjoy acreage.
One of the property's most appealing features is the approximately 1/4-acre pond, which provides an attractive setting for a potential home or cabin. The wooded surroundings could allow a future owner to create a homesite while retaining substantial acreage for recreation, wildlife habitat, gardens, trails, and other improvements, subject to applicable regulations and site conditions.
Underground electrical and water utilities are available on the proeprty. Buyers should independently verify the location, availability, capacity, connection requirements, and costs associated with all utilities before making decisions regarding construction.
Access is provided by an existing shared driveway with an adjoining landowner. The surrounding area consists primarily of larger rural properties, many reportedly 20 acres or more, with homesites scattered across the ridges. An old logging road creates a looping trail system through the property, providing access to both drainage areas.
A seasonal creek crosses the southern portion, while rock-bottom wet-weather drainages create seasonal waterfalls and pools throughout the tract. The hardwood timber has been managed with wildlife in mind and provides bedding and cover. Several areas may offer potential food plot locations depending on the buyer's intended use and future management plans.
The property is conveniently located near French Lick, West Baden, Patoka Lake, and the Hoosier National Forest, providing access to dining, lodging, boating, fishing, hiking, hunting, and other outdoor recreation. The property has not recently been maintained, giving a new owner the opportunity to shape the acreage according to their plans.
Some clearing, trail work, selective cutting, and general cleanup could improve access and usability while creating opportunities for a future homesite and other improvements. Whether your goal is to build a primary residence, establish a homestead, create a weekend cabin, or own a wooded recreational property, this 30-acre tract offers a combination worth exploring!.
