This 73±-acre wooded property in Jefferson County, Indiana, brings together a brand-new Amish-built log cabin, quality whitetail habitat, managed timber, and room to roam, all in one offering. Located between Madison and Versailles on the east side of the county, the property combines a ready-to-use cabin setting with a large, wooded hunting tract that walks and feels bigger than its acreage. There are no deed restrictions or covenants on the larger portion of the property, giving a new owner flexibility in how the land is used and managed.

The Log Cabin

A stone entry drive leads from the road to the cabin and a parking area. The solid log cabin was built with careful craftsmanship and high-quality materials and runs fully off-grid on a generator, with an inverter/charger and battery backup system. A mini-split provides heating and air conditioning, and a wood-burning stove adds a second heat source for cold mornings. Running water, a full shower, and a composting toilet are in place, with a cistern for water storage. The upstairs sleeping area can comfortably handle several people, and built-in storage runs throughout, including under the stairs and in the cabinets and closets. The cabin is ready for immediate use, so a new owner can start hunting and spending weekends on the property right away.

The Land and Timber

The entire property is wooded. The cabin side of the property is predominantly flat, with young to medium-aged hardwoods and a heavy concentration of oaks that drop acorns for deer, turkey, and squirrels. Over 700 yards of trails wind through the timber for walking, scouting, shed hunting, and quietly reaching stand locations.

The property lies as a large square, stretching about 800 yards from its southwest corner to its northeast corner. That depth creates room for multiple stand locations, additional trails, and sanctuary areas that can be left undisturbed. This portion holds a strong stand of young hardwoods along with a variety of other timber, and it is enrolled in Indiana’s Classified Forest and Wildlands Program through the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. Enrolled land receives a reduced property tax assessment in exchange for following a professionally written forest management plan, and classified landowners have access to technical assistance from DNR foresters and priority for cost-share programs. For a buyer looking to hold quality timberland with lower annual carrying costs, this enrollment adds real value.

Hunting and Wildlife

This part of Jefferson County is well known for deer hunting. The property adjoins tillable ground and sits across the road from more, so agricultural food sources are close at hand on multiple sides. With acorn-producing oaks, young hardwood browse, and over 70 acres of cover and bedding, the property offers the combination of food and security deer rely on. Turkey and squirrel hunting add to the seasons.

Public land opportunities are also close. Big Oaks National Wildlife Refuge lies approximately 2.5 miles away and offers scheduled hunting opportunities, and Splinter Ridge Fish and Wildlife Area is nearby for additional public-land hunting.

Access and Location

The property offers road frontage on both portions, approximately 900 feet along the cabin side and approximately 350 feet along the larger wooded portion. The property is located within the Madison Consolidated Schools district. Its position between Madison and Versailles keeps groceries, supplies, dining, and lodging within easy reach. Versailles is approximately 14 miles away (about 22 minutes), and Madison, the Jefferson County seat on the Ohio River, is approximately 15 miles away (about 24 minutes). Carrollton, Kentucky, is about 40 minutes away; Vevay is about 42 minutes away; Lawrenceburg is about 50 minutes away; and Louisville, Kentucky, is roughly 1 hour and 25 minutes away, keeping weekend trips manageable. Clifty Falls State Park near Madison adds hiking trails and waterfall scenery to the area’s outdoor options.

With a new off-grid cabin, oak timber, an established trail system, nearby crop fields, and more than 70 acres to hunt and explore, this Jefferson County property is set up for hunting seasons, weekend getaways, and long-term ownership from day one.
