Getting the chance to own a larger recreational parcel with income AND several potential building sites in Northern Indiana is a like a dream come true. Properties like this one just don’t come on the market too often and this property has everything you would want. Indiana has long been considered a "sleeper state" for trophy whitetail deer, but it's properties like this that put it on the map.

Getting the chance to own a larger recreational parcel with income AND several potential building sites in Northern Indiana is a like a dream come true. Properties like this one just don’t come on the market too often and this property has everything you would want. Indiana has long been considered a "sleeper state" for trophy whitetail deer, but it's properties like this that put it on the map. Although the seller doesn’t hunt, he created a rare larger wildlife sanctuary you just don’t see too often in this part or the state. There are 170 acres registered in a WRP/CRP program. On it are 120 to 140 acres of native grasses, brushy areas and transitional woodland areas and stands of young trees……what would naturally happen if we left mother nature alone to do her work. There is also the addition of 10 to 12 seasonal and year-round ponds creating a constant water source for the abundance of deer, pheasants, rabbits, turkeys and of course ducks and geese that inhabit and use the property. Combine that with the 8+ acres of planted food plots, the 30 or so acres of income producing tillable on the property and the 6 or more acres of timber and treelines, its easy to see why this property is a haven for all the species of wildlife it draws. Not wanting to be limited in its future uses, but still protecting the integrity of the land, the seller carefully set aside about 50 acres spread around the four corners of the property for potential homesites, cabins, outbuildings or whatever the buyer may need. It's got a fair amount of road access, but I wouldn’t expect a lot of traffic at its country road location. Another great feature is an access drive around the perimeter of the property and several nice ATV or walking trails. You'll be able to view and admire the entire property with a very unique 75+ foot commercial observation tower with a motorized passenger compartment/hunting blind that will give you an elevated 360 degree view of this nature and hunting preserve which any sportsman, outdoor enthusiast or conservationist would love to own.
