Description
Located in Pike County, Indiana, this 26.6±-acre tract offers an opportunity for those seeking hunting land or recreational property with established access and diverse wildlife habitat. The property sits at the dead end of Meridian Road, south of State Road 64, providing a secluded setting with minimal through traffic. Access to the property is provided by Meridian Road, which is currently unmaintained. The entry opens into an established internal trail system designed for durability and function. These trails were constructed with railroad ballast, providing stable access throughout much of the property. While walking these trails, you could mistake yourself for being in a state park!
The land features a mix of habitat types that support a variety of wildlife species. Whitetail deer, wild turkey, and waterfowl are commonly observed in the area. During property visits, wood ducks were observed using shallow water areas, indicating the presence of wetland habitat suitable for nesting. The property includes frontage along the South Fork Patoka River. Its location is within minutes of several large public land areas, including Patoka National Wildlife Refuge, Sugar Ridge Fish and Wildlife Area, and Pike State Forest. This further enhances the habitat connectivity for wildlife. These surrounding properties provide additional public hunting acreage that supports regional wildlife populations and seasonal movement patterns.
Timber management has been conducted on the property in phases. Approximately 19 acres were selectively timbered around 20 years ago, allowing for regeneration and the development of a younger overstory. More recently, about 18.5 acres underwent selective timbering approximately one year ago. This recent harvest targeted species such as pin oak, sycamore, and poplar, creating openings and early successional growth. These varying timber stages contribute to habitat diversity, which benefits wildlife cover, forage, and movement. The seller's trail camera images provide insight into the deer present in the area.
The property lies within a designated wetland area. Therefore, constructing a structure with utilities is unlikely. Buyers are encouraged to conduct their own research if they desire to place improvements/structures on the property. This property's highest and best use is believed to be recreational and hunting.
The seller has indicated a willingness to consider improvements to Meridian Road access, such as adding gravel, depending on the terms and conditions of an offer. This property offers recreational opportunities, including hunting, wildlife observation, hiking, and other outdoor activities, in a setting that combines managed timber, water features, and proximity to public lands, at a fraction of the cost of other land for sale. The last one listed in this price range didn't last long. Give us a call before it's gone!
