Recreational Land & Farm for Sale in Velpen, Indiana

This 80-acre slice of backcountry wilderness in Dubois County, Indiana, is where big timber, big bucks, and big adventure meet. If you're looking for polished, suburban acreage with manicured edges, keep scrolling-but if you want raw land that smells like oak leaves and river-bottom mud, the kind where every ridge tells a story and every trail pulls you deeper into the wild, welcome to your new stomping grounds. This is the kind of property serious outdoorsmen dream about: mature hardwood timber, trophy whitetail habitat, waterfowl draw, turkey roosts, and a natural pond tucked inside a quiet pocket of the woods. It's rugged, it's remote, and it's the type of land that keeps you up at night thinking about it. The property spans 80+- acres of mature hardwoods and a natural pond, offering recreation that includes hunting, trapping, hiking, camping, ATV/UTV riding, and wildlife viewing, with game ranging from whitetail deer and turkey to ducks, geese, small game, and predators. Walk beneath the canopy and you'll feel that hush of deep timber-the kind that only comes from woods that have stood long before you ever arrived. Towering oaks, hickories, maples, and walnut stretch across rolling terrain, forming a classic Southern Indiana landscape rich with character. This isn't managed parkland; it's authentic hardwood wilderness shaped by storms, seasons, and time. Dubois County is known for producing big, mature bucks, and this property sits squarely in the heart of prime deer country. Natural funnels, pinch points, thick bedding cover, established travel corridors, and a secluded natural pond create ideal conditions for year-round whitetail activity. Turkeys thrive on the ridgetops, with scratched ridgelines and spring gobbles echoing through the hollows, while the pond draws migrating ducks and geese for bonus waterfowl hunts. The land also supports excellent predator and small-game opportunities, with coyote, bobcat, coon, and fox frequenting the area. Tucked into the timber is a calm, natural pond that serves as a wildlife sanctuary-an essential water source and a peaceful place to watch the woods come alive at dawn. Built for those who truly appreciate the wild, the property offers endless adventure: deer, turkey, and waterfowl hunting, trapping, ATV and UTV riding, primitive camping, hiking, exploring, wildlife photography, and off-grid weekends. Every season brings its own personality, from spring green-up to fiery fall color to the quiet stillness of winter.
