Description
Just east of Billett lies this truly unique and diverse property. Established 22 years ago, the hardwood planting features multiple varieties of oak, including distinctive species such as Shumard oak, along with walnut, maple, and birch. Portions of the property also contain old-growth timber dating back to when the land was farmed. Natural succession areas of grasses and cedar trees add further diversity to the landscape.
One rare feature is a small planting of bamboo that appears to remain green year-round, adding both character and visual appeal.
From a hunting perspective, this tract is exceptionally well laid out. It offers access from three sides, and with minimal work, a small timber road could be opened along the north boundary to allow access from all four sides. Several open areas in the center and southern portions of the property would make excellent food plots. There is also a long, narrow strip previously planted by the current owner that could easily be restored. As the oaks reach maturity and begin producing acorns, the property will become even more attractive to deer and turkeys.
An established trail system provides quiet, strategic access for hunting and game recovery. With some light cleanup and a few additional connecting trails, multiple entry and exit routes could be created for optimal stand access.
The property is located within a couple of miles of over 2,100 acres of state land, offering additional recreational and hunting opportunities. The area is well known for abundant deer and turkey populations.
For those looking to build a dream home, this property checks many boxes. Several excellent building sites are available, some offering exceptional seclusion depending on driveway placement. Power is available on three sides of the property, and neighboring homes utilize well water. The property is located within the Lawrence County Community Unit District 20 school district.
Conveniently situated within 20 minutes of Vincennes, Indiana, and Lawrenceville, the area also offers outstanding recreational amenities nearby, including Red Hills State Park, Chauncey Marsh State Natural Area, George Rogers Clark National Historical Park, Oubache Trails Park, and Embarras River Bottoms State Habitat Area.
