Description
Tucked along East Brushy Fork Road in Jefferson County, Indiana, this 290.1+/- acre tract offers a rare combination of size, water, wildlife habitat, and history in a region well known for producing large whitetail deer. The property is a contiguous, essentially rectangular tract, with only a small portion lying across the road in one corner. Road frontage runs 1,500+/- feet along East Brushy Fork Road, giving convenient access to the entire property.
Water is a defining feature of this farm. The eastern boundary runs along Molly's Run Creek, and the property carries an additional 1,800+/- feet of frontage along Brushy Fork. Between the two waterways, wildlife on the property has reliable access to water and natural travel corridors year-round.
The land carries deep family history. The seller's family has a long connection to this ground, which was once worked as fields and pasture. Multiple homes and barns stood on the property over the years, including homesteads dating back to the 1800s. Several stone foundations, stone walls, and stone fences remain today, marking where these structures once stood. Two distinct historical features are found on the property: an area identified on older maps as an Indian Mound, and Lawson Cemetery, which contains a large historical monument honoring William Lawson, born in 1795 in Scotland and died in 1873. Both add a layer of local history that few properties of this size can offer.
Since the property transitioned away from farming, low-growth and brush have taken hold across much of the acreage, growing alongside mature trees of varied species. That mix of thick cover, brush, and standing timber has created excellent year-round habitat for whitetail deer, wild turkey, and bobcat, all of which are prevalent here. This part of Indiana carries a strong regional reputation among hunters for producing large deer genetics, and the habitat on this farm supports that reputation. For a new owner looking to shape the timber further, the property is a strong candidate for a Timber Stand Improvement (TSI) program, and the brush and invasive growth present a good opportunity to pursue EQIP (Environmental Quality Incentives Program) cost-share funding for invasive species removal.
Recreational infrastructure is already in place. More than 5,000 yards, or roughly 2.8+/- miles, of trails wind through the property, giving access to food plots, timber, and the creek bottoms without heavy disturbance to the habitat. Multiple small food plots have been established and are ready to hunt or continue managing.
Whether the next owner is drawn to the hunting, the water frontage, the history, or simply the size and privacy of a nearly 300-acre tract, this Jefferson County property offers a strong foundation to build on for years to come.
