Great opportunity to own a large tract of timber ground. This property is located in a very desirable location. Near US 50 in Shoals, IN, this property is only 35 minutes from Bedford, 1 hour from Bloomington, less than 1 hour and 30 minutes from Louisville or Evansville and 1 hour 45 minutes from Indianapolis. Property has good road frontage at 13290 East River Road. A recent selective timber harvest was done and has added some nice trails to the property along with a new main gravel road/entrance that goes up to the newly constructed 7+/- Acre lake. An area could easily be cleared near the lake and would make an excellent spot to build a dream home with great views. The new trails meander all the way through this beautiful forested ground allowing access and utilization to all parts of the property. This property is home to an abundance of wildlife. Awesome ground for deer, turkey, small game and morel mushroom hunting. This tract is large enough to be able to manage a deer heard and have monster bucks. Several areas would make excellent spots to add in some small food plots and have a dynamite hunting property. The lake, several brooks, and House Rock Branch creek run through the ground providing a water source for the wildlife. Two small off grid cabins are on the property that provide a place to set up camp and enjoy with family and friends. One older cabin is near the entrance to the property and another brand new one is nestled within the forest at one of the highest points of elevation and provides amazing views. Water and electric are available at the road. Just across the road is the East Fork White River that provides additional opportunities for fishing or kayaking. Another huge bonus is Martin County State Forest is only 10 minutes away where thousands of more acres can be enjoyed. Opportunities like this seldom come along.
