Blue River Frontage Farm With Tillable Acreage, Hardwood Timber, And Build Sites In Washington County, Indiana

North & South Side Of Grandview Road, Lot#WP001 Salem, IN 47167

Description

Located in southwest Washington County, just south of the historic Beck's Mill, this expansive mixed-use farm offers a rare opportunity to own a highly versatile property in a peaceful, secluded country setting. Offering an excellent balance of productive tillable acreage, mature hardwood timber, extensive river frontage, and exceptional build potential, this property is well-suited for buyers seeking a recreational retreat, working farm, future homesite, or multi-family rural compound in southern Indiana.

Accessed from paved W Grandview Road, the property features more than 1,600 feet of road frontage along with multiple established entrances that provide excellent accessibility and flexibility for future development or land management. Municipal water and electrical service are already available along the road frontage, adding convenience for future construction plans and making this property ready for a variety of residential or agricultural uses.

An old homesite remains on the property and offers a glimpse into the area's agricultural heritage. A standing corn crib, along with established patches of iris, daffodils, and lilies, reflects the character and history of a time when farms like this served as full-time family homesteads. The setting around the former homesite provides an attractive location for a future residence, cabin, or family compound surrounded by rolling southern Indiana countryside.

One of the most remarkable features of this property is the extensive Blue River frontage that stretches for more than one mile along the eastern and northern boundaries. This exceptional water feature offers stunning views and direct access to a variety of outdoor recreational opportunities, including fishing, kayaking, canoeing, wildlife observation, and hunting. The river frontage also enhances the property's natural beauty and creates excellent wildlife habitat throughout the farm.

Importantly, only the eastern 10 +/- acres of tillable ground are located within the FEMA floodplain, allowing the majority of the property to remain highly usable for agricultural production, recreation, and potential building opportunities. The tillable acreage totals approximately 41 +/- acres and is divided among three primary fields. The soils consist predominantly of productive Class II Elkinsville silt loam, offering high-quality agricultural capability for row crop production or potential income generation.

Across the river, within a large, owned oxbow area, approximately 16 +/- acres have been established in hardwood tree plantings. This area serves as an outstanding cover for bedding and a sanctuary habitat for local wildlife. Combined with the property's diverse habitat features, this area offers strong potential for whitetail deer and turkey hunting.

An additional 25 +/- acres of mature hardwood timber occupy the steeper western portions of the property that are less suitable for row crop production. These hardwood ridges provide scenic topography, wildlife habitat, privacy, and additional recreational opportunities throughout the farm.

With multiple access points, excellent infrastructure, productive soils, significant riverfrontage, mature timber, and outstanding recreational appeal, this Washington County property offers a unique opportunity rarely found on the market. Whether you are searching for a private country estate, family retreat, hunting property, income-producing farm, or long-term land investment, this Blue River farm delivers exceptional versatility and potential in a highly desirable southern Indiana location.
