295.62 Acres in Salem, IN - $1,099,900

This huge sprawling tract sits in the highly sought-after area of Delaney Bottoms, known for big bucks with an area attraction for camping and outdoor recreation for all. It is a rare find, as acreage of this size and location is always hard to find in Southern Indiana. Starting from the county road, access is made available with two private driveways. The first veers to the left, is gated and paved all the way to the home and shops, while a brand new gravel drive makes a more straight approach and y's into the paved at the top of the ridge. Once at the top, you will come upon the three pole barn/shop buildings. All three are in very good condition and are well cared for. The first is 40x40x16, which has two bays, was insulated this year, lean-to off the left side, power, and has an LP gas line to the back wall. The second one is 30x50x12 with four bays, power and is perfect for making a shop with ample room for work benches and vehicle storage. This building offers a lean-to off the back length of the building. Coming to the last structure, this measures 30x50x12 and has one bay, offering a huge, open, well-lit space. It also has a wall splitting the right side off to a bunkhouse or possible office. Currently, it is set up with a kitchenette, bathroom, bed, and well-sized living space to hang out. It also includes a huge full-length lean-to off the back as well. At the end of the buildings, you will find a cute, cozy, comfortable log cabin with roughly 1200 sq. ft. The home is a two-bedroom, one-bath with an open floor plan. The main floor holds the kitchen, living space, bathroom, bedroom, and laundry, while the upstairs has a large private bedroom and its own porch with stairs leading to the outside. Once outside, the outdoor area has a large oversized pool with a deck to enjoy the summer sun and cool off. Moving on to the main attraction, +/-295 acres of extraordinary land that encompasses attributes that will check all the boxes of the wish list. The main road system was just put in place, with the seller having over five weeks on the dozer grading most of them out and installing water bars. This internal road system has an estimated +/-6 miles of roadway. These roads wind the property valleys, ridgetops and hillsides, which enable you to gain access almost anywhere you wish to travel. This property has it all. The tract has undergone a resectable timber harvest in the past year, with targeted trees of 19-20 inches and above, leaving a nice stand for the future. The new growth, coming on now in the early spring, is guaranteed to be an explosion, providing great food sources and bedding/nesting for the wildlife that call this home. While on the subject, the deer hunting is off the charts, with 160-inch class deer year in and out. It's no surprise with food plots, cover, a pond and creeks. Nine deer were seen on the first trip to the property while just walking around and learning about it. Deer stands and blinds have been strategically placed to catch big bucks crossing the property and have been highly successful. For those who have always wanted a pond, you're in luck. Whether it be catching some fish or maybe taking a ride across the pond on the zip line, for those who are up to the challenge, the fun never stops. True outdoor recreation comes in all forms, and for some, it may be going for long hikes on your own property, enjoying the wildlife and scenery or breaking out the dirtbikes, SxS, or UTV for a day of riding or four-wheeling. No matter how you choose to enjoy the outdoors, this is a property that can truly fulfill all outside recreation.Note: (Besides home and building sites, the rest of the property is in Classified Forest)
