33.42 Acres in Orland, IN - $159,000

This property is situated in Orland just minutes south of the Indiana Toll Road and the Michigan border. It’s in the neighborhood of other farms, wooded tracts and a variety of homes, mostly on larger, 5-10 acre lots. Because it has some road frontage, easy access off the blacktop but with the majority of the property set off the road around 500 feet, it could be used for recreational purposes, hunting, a hobby farm or a location for your new home or cabin. Horse properties are common in this area, and this property is next to the former Great American Clydesdale Farm, a well-known destination among Clydesdale and other equestrian aficionados as they produced National Champion Clydesdale teams in the mid to late 2000’s. The breeding and training have since ceased at that farm and grounds are still impeccably maintained. This property could also make a great location for horses or other livestock as there are two pasture areas of several acres each fenced by a three wire and vinyl coated rail fence. Most of the remainder of the property is wire fenced providing a separation between the crop ground, the pastures and pond or wet areas completely by a nice, wide mowed path. This path covers the whole property and weaves around all the property’s natural features providing easy access. It would be awesome for horses, hiking or riding ATV’s. When I visited the property, I measured the paths, and they are well over a mile in total! Truly an awesome way to exercise and enjoy your property. With all the natural and diverse habitat on the property and all the food, cover, and water, there is an abundance of deer and turkey sign as well as small game and waterfowl. I witnessed herons, cranes, ducks wild turkeys, a group of deer and a rabbit on the property all in the same trip! Talk about a mecca for wildlife! Even though this property is diverse, there are numerous opportunities to improve it even more for farming, hunting, recreation, conservation or construct your new home. Approximately 17 acres are cash rented for row crop production, 5 to 6 additional acres could easily be farmed for more income. If you lean more toward the recreational or conservation mindset, the property's natural features, habitat, and low areas could be further enhanced to create a nice year-round water source with additional ponds or it may be a great property for a subsidized conservation or wetland mitigation program. Because of the way the property is laid out, it could be sold in two separate tracts so check the separate listings on each parcel or contact us to set up your personal tour and discuss all the opportunities owning this property has to offer.
