61 Acres of Recreational Land for Sale in Portland, Indiana

This farm has everything you could want for a starting point of a new recreational farm, or to build a dream home in a wildlife paradise. The icing on the cake is $8,000 annual income via an agreement with the United States Department of Agriculture, the Indiana Department of Natural Resources and the landowner. This farm is enrolled in a CRP (Conservation Reserve Program) and specifically the State Acres for Wildlife Enhancement (SAFE) utilizing the CRP practice CP38-3A (Hardwood Tree Planting Program) to benefit the Indiana and Northern Long-eared bats. The 20 year old tree planting with oaks that are ready to start producing acorns, walnuts planted in the right location and cedars sprinkled throughout help set the stage for great wildlife habitat on this farm, and profit that could be produced in marketable timber in the future. Old fence rows divide the acreage into blocks and provide some mature trees for multiple stand locations for hunting depending on the winds. Thick areas of crabapple trees and other brambles and briars are found throughout the field with small open pockets of grass that are always full of deer beds. An established trail system allows access to all of the property no matter the wind direction, and Buckeye Creek flows along most of the north side of the farm to keep fresh water available for all the animals. If you are looking for a farm with a high deer and turkey density and plentiful small game this farm will interest you.
