25 Acres in Monterey, IN - $99,500

Offered for sale is a heavily wooded and very affordable piece of property with a variety of potential uses. It boasts a nice mix of big, mature oak and hickory trees and well as some soft woods and pines and other thick and brushy areas. It's just big enough to make a nice hunting, recreational property or possible homesite but also just small enough and has some considerations from the seller that make it really affordable. Located on the corner of two country roads, it has about 800 feet of frontage and over a quarter of a mile on the other road, so it has several options for accessing the property. The previous owner was somewhat of a pioneer as he intended to primitively develop the property and live there as a getaway from all the stresses that city living can bring. He felled trees and milled timber by hand, much of which is still in stacks in various places on the property. The former owner also salvaged and repurpose many items like old lumber, windows, tin and other old building materials which he either stored on the property or built two of the three cabins or hunting "shacks" on the property. The third building is reportedly a small 1800's true log cabin that he relocated from its original site from somewhere here in northern Indiana. The logs are in surprisingly good condition and by looking at the details and craftsmanship that went into the joinery and construction, you will have no reason to believe the cabin is not from at least 100 years ago. If nothing else you can get a sense of the age of the structures by the previous owner's car (seen in a few pictures) which is a rusty but almost completely intact 1940's Chevy Master Deluxe. I imagine he drove it there many years ago and it either broke down or he got tired of driving and there it sits, encased in dozens of mature grown trees. The current owner inherited the property and has pretty much left it untouched for years and didn't allow hunting on the property.  Come with an open mind and revive your Pioneer spirit when you come take a look and the property. Imagine the adventure and the possibilities that owning a piece of land like this will bring. With just a few improvements and some cleanup, it has all the elements needed to be a very productive hunting or recreational property and maybe a great rural homesite.
