Located between Madison and Versailles on the east side of Jefferson County, Indiana, this +/- 55-acre wooded tract combines hunting ground, timber, and long-term land value. The property carries no deed restrictions or covenants. Most of the land forms a large square stretching approximately 800 yards from the southwest corner to the northeast corner, so it walks and hunts like a larger property than the acreage suggests. Approximately 350 feet of road frontage provides direct access. The property adjoins an 18.228-acre wooded tract with an off-grid, Amish-built log cabin that is also offered for sale. Together, the two create approximately 73 contiguous acres with lodging already in place. The woods hold young hardwoods and a variety of other timber, with habitat value today and growth potential for the future. The entire property is enrolled in Indiana's Classified Forest and Wildlands Program, which provides a reduced property tax assessment in exchange for following a professionally written forest management plan. This part of Jefferson County is known for deer hunting. Tillable farm ground in the surrounding area provides abundant food sources, while the timber offers the cover and bedding areas deer rely on. Big Oaks National Wildlife Refuge sits very near the property, and Splinter Ridge Fish and Wildlife Area is not far away, adding public land hunting opportunities close to home. Versailles is about 14 miles (22 minutes) and Madison, the county seat, is about 15 miles (24 minutes), keeping groceries, supplies, and lodging within easy reach. Carrollton, Kentucky, and Vevay, Indiana, are each under 45 minutes away, Lawrenceburg is about 50 minutes, and Louisville is roughly 1 hour and 25 minutes. Whether the goal is a dedicated hunting property, a timber investment, or a larger recreational holding paired with the adjoining cabin tract, this +/- 55-acre Jefferson County property offers a well-rounded opportunity in southeastern Indiana
