444.84 Acres in Tangier, IN - $1,829,000

The northwest part of the county is known for its ability to produce giant whitetail deer and this tract has all the ingredients any serious hunter looking for the ideal property could want. The large unbroken sections of rolling hardwood timber create vast amounts of seclusion and sanctuary areas for bucks to reach those older age classes. The timber consists of a high percentages of large, mast bearing oaks and other ideal hardwood species, along with plenty of top-end specimens to provide some valuable timber for return-on-investment. There are even areas within the property that have been replanted to trees creating stands of younger age class timber and valuable transitional cover and edge. The winding, secluded agricultural fields are cash rented for additional income production and are in the traditional Midwest corn and soybean rotation, which also provides ideal evening feeding destinations for the plentiful resident whitetails. The fields are widely dispersed throughout the property making multiple evening tree stand locations and light hunting pressure a tremendous asset. A well-built and secure metal building centrally located along the county road makes a great camp location and hunt headquarters. It has plenty of room for storage of equipment, along with a restroom and room for dining and sleeping during extended stays. A maintained trail system will allow access from the camp building to the farthest reaches of the property, making reaching stand locations and doing maintenance work very practical. The property also boasts a tremendous turkey population making spring season a very enjoyable experience with the sheer number of gobblers available to hunt throughout the farm. Morel mushrooms are also plentiful during that same time-frame and add a bonus to the turkey hunting. Small game such as squirrel, rabbit and coyotes will extend the hunting season opportunities once those deer tags are filled. The timber features an unusually high population of Ginseng, offering a recreational fall pass time with financial rewards! A year-round flowing creek winds along much of the western edge of the property offering a great water source for the wildlife. One of Parke County’s world famous covered bridges is located crossing this creek right along the property’s southwestern corner. Lastly, the local area offers convenient dining and shopping for supplies in nearby Rockville.
