An old logging road creates a looping trail system through the property, providing access to both drainage areas. A seasonal creek crosses the southern portion, while rock-bottom wet-weather drainages create seasonal waterfalls and pools throughout the tract. The hardwood timber has been managed with wildlife in mind and provides bedding and cover. Several areas may offer potential food plot locations depending on the buyer's intended use and future management plans. The property is conveniently located near French Lick, West Baden, Patoka Lake, and the Hoosier National Forest, providing access to dining, lodging, boating, fishing, hiking, hunting, and other outdoor recreation. The property has not recently been maintained, giving a new owner the opportunity to shape the acreage according to their plans. Some clearing, trail work, selective cutting, and general cleanup could improve access and usability while creating opportunities for a future homesite and other improvements. Whether your goal is to build a primary residence, establish a homestead, create a weekend cabin, or own a wooded recreational property, this 30-acre tract offers a combination worth exploring!.
