Off Optical Rd Unit LotWP001 Saint Croix, IN 47576
About This Lot
Located in northeastern Perry County along the Crawford County line, this wooded acreage offers a secluded setting with direct adjacency to thousands of acres of Hoosier National Forest. Situated along a quiet gravel county road, the property provides approximately 250 feet of county road frontage and convenient access to utilities, while still offering a private and natural environment.Electric service from Southern Indiana Power, Patoka Water, and PSCI fiber internet are available along the road frontage. While a driveway has not yet been installed, the frontage provides a location for potential access. The availability of utilities along the road increases the propertys flexibility for a range of recreational or residential uses.The front portion of the tract includes approximately two acres of relatively level topography. This area was previously more open and has since grown up with young vegetation. With clearing or light improvement, this section may offer space suitable for a campsite, cabin, or other rural improvements, depending on the buyers intended use.Beyond the utility corridor, the property transitions into a scenic hardwood setting. The terrain slopes downward into a rock-lined ephemeral creek drainage that provides seasonal water flow during periods of rainfall. This drainage creates a natural travel corridor for wildlife and adds visual character to the landscape. Several mature white oak trees are scattered throughout this lower area, contributing to the timber diversity and natural habitat.Across the drainage, the ground rises gradually into a pair of ridges that extend toward the back of the property. These ridges lead to the clearly marked boundary of Hoosier National Forest. The direct adjacency to public land significantly expands the available recreational footprint beyond the property boundaries. From this location, outdoor enthusiasts can step directly into thousands of acres of national forest, including extensive roadless areas.Hoosier National Forest provides opportunities for hiking, wildlife observation, hunting, and general outdoor recreation. Having immediate access from a privately owned tract allows convenient entry into a much larger landscape without needing to travel to public access points.The propertys combination of road frontage, available utilities, hardwood timber, varied terrain, and direct adjacency to public land creates a diverse setting within a relatively compact tract. The mix of level ground, creek drainage, and ridge-top habitat provides visual variety and different types of wildlife cover.This property may appeal to buyers seeking a small recreational tract with access to large public lands, a potential rural retreat location, or a basecamp property for exploring the surrounding Hoosier National Forest region. As with any rural property, buyers should verify utility availability, driveway permitting, and intended land uses with the appropriate providers and local authorities.
