Recreational & Residential Land for Sale in Mitchell, Indiana

Located along Clark Cemetery Road in Mitcheltree Township, this +/-29-acre property offers hunting, timber, a creek, and a build site, all just minutes from Martin State Forest in Martin County, Indiana. The property consists of two adjoining parcels. County road frontage runs along the entire west border, providing the tract with easy access to the road. For hunters, the terrain does a lot of the work. A rock-bottom creek runs below a bluff on the property and carries seasonal water depending on rainfall. Down in that creek bottom is a natural choke point that funnels deer movement. It offers multiple stand locations so that you can set up for different winds and approaches throughout the season. The mix of bluff, creek bottom, and wooded cover gives this tract the variety that makes a smaller property hunt bigger than its acreage. The property is wooded, and a consulting forester has marked the timber. The current owners have held the land since 1996 and have not harvested timber during their ownership. They have also worked with foresters and the Indiana DNR on invasive species management, so the woods have been actively cared for. For a buyer who sees land as a long-term asset, the standing timber adds value beyond the acreage itself and is a standout feature of the property. There is also a strong option for a future home site, cabin, or campsite in the northwest corner. Its level enough for a camper and has enough space for a nice campfire. The seller reports that a percolation test was performed in the northeast area of the property in 1996 and passed. Because that test is dated, buyers should confirm current septic requirements and permitting with Martin County before making building plans. The location adds to the appeal. Martin State Forest, a DNR-managed public forest of +/-7,000 acres is just minutes away. It offers campsites, fishing lakes, hiking & mountain bike trails and the Hoosier Woodland Arboretum. That leaves a large public recreation footprint nearby, while you enjoy the privacy of your own ground. The property is within reasonable driving distance of Shoals, Mitchell and Bedford. It is also within a few hours of Indianapolis and Louisville. Whether you want a place to hunt, a spot to build a home, pull in a camper, build a cabin or pitch a tent, this land holds value for the future and has a lot to offer.
