Located in a remote and secluded area, this property offers approx. 2800’ of road frontage along Butler Bridge Road and features a 10+/- acre ag field that could be enrolled in a conservation program, kept in production for cash rental income, or converted to a large destination food plot. The original homestead site sits on a high point in the middle of the property just off the county road and has just been cleared, offering a perfectly secluded 2-acre build site for a cabin or permanent residence. Hook up to services should be easy with Dubois Co water running along Butler Bridge road and electric service is nearby. A trail system leading from the building site leads you through the wooded acreage on the north side of the road and past 3 strategically placed food plot locations near heavily used bedding areas. The flowing Blue Creek offers a year-round water source and is located along the southern boundary of the tillable acreage. A powerline clear-cut bisects the property offering great browse and forage for the area wildlife along with good access to the majority of the acreage. Adjacent to the SE boundary lies approx. 800+ acres of Hoosier National Forest, giving the owners direct access to additional outdoor activities and plenty of room to roam. Portions of the timber acreage on this property have been select cut approximately 15 years ago while other areas show little sign of timber activity with numerous mature white oaks standing and a forest floor littered with acorns. Deer and turkey sign can be found throughout the property with regular sightings in the surrounding ag fields. Morel mushrooms, ginseng, yellow root, and wild blackberries can also be found on the property at various times of the year. With so much national forest nearby, this property sets up unbelievably well for someone hoping to create a work class deer hunting property. Between the included ag acreage and existing 3 acres of available food plot clearings, with some quality diverse plantings, there is no doubt this property would become the area herd influencer and would absolutely produce year in and year out. We’re sure once you get your food plots established and see the results, you’ll want to hold on to it for another 180 years! Don’t miss out on this chance to own a truly secluded and remote slice of Southern Indiana!
