2455 N. US 231 , Spencer, IN 47460(Owen County)

PRICE REDUCED!!! A beautiful, rolling hardwood forest with a fantastic trail system and get-away cabin!  This property is super-easily accessible pulling right off of the blacktop of 231 onto the winding gravel drive lined by towering white pines.  There is an open area just off the entry drive that is a flat and cleared 2.4 +/- acres which would make a great future building site for a home or pole barn.  The property has very recently undergone a responsible and conservative timber harvest leaving plenty of great desirable species for future timber income and beauty.  The new sprouting flush of understory vegetation will provide fantastic food and cover for the resident whitetails and turkey.  The timber process allowed a fantastic road system to be created allowing easy movement throughout the property. Hidden high up on a ridge-top with awesome views to the surrounding timber is a very cozy, well-built hunter’s cabin.  The cedar and sandstone structure was built in 1982 by the current owner and boasts a beautiful stone fireplace with wood burning insert. There are 3 bedrooms, two are 12 x 12 and one is 10 x 12, and a full bath with a jacuzzi tub and shower. The kitchen features a large, solid walnut bar, and the spacious living room is ideal for sitting around and swapping stories in the evening next to a glowing fire.  The cabin also has electric service, well and septic, baseboard heaters, in addition to geothermal, and an attractive metal roof.  The utility room also has service ready for a washer and dryer.  Just off the immediate cabin “yard” is an open, level area of approximately one acre that would make a perfect location for a food plot of clover to allow you to watch the deer and turkeys feeding right out your window!  This cabin’s location fits the true definition of “get-away” or retreat.  You certainly feel secluded and private here, even though you could be in the town of Spencer within minutes. There is fantastic deer sign with tracks and trails everywhere.  The oak trees were dropping loads of acorns on all the trails providing great fall food supplies.  The ridge-tops with the newly created trails will be awesome turkey hunting locations in the spring, and the adjoining property to the north is a predominantly pasture farm, certainly contributing to the attractiveness of the immediate area.  This tract is connected to a large expanse of big timber, ensuring that there will always be the opportunity for deer movement and the possibility of that huge buck cruising by your stands. Don’t miss out on your chance to see this fantastic property, with a great, rustic cabin already in place for you to enjoy staying on your own private hunting get-away! Shown by appointment only.
