Truly One-of-a-Kind Brown County oasis. This 44 acre property, bordered on all sides by protected public forestland, features a custom-designed off-grid cabin set in a beautifully manicured valley surrounded by wooded hills. Located in the heart of Indiana's largest contiguous hardwood forest and far from neighbors, this serene property includes 37 acres of tax-saving classified hardwood forest and 7 acres of field and meadow. It borders Brown County State Park on the east and north, Hoosier National Forest on the west, and the Army Corps of Engineers (Lake Monroe Fee Line) on the south. A seasonal creek runs the length of the property. The property offers abundant wildlife, and the area offers endless recreational opportunities for naturalists, adventurers, and sportsmen. Trails for horseback riding, hiking, and mountain biking are in close proximity as is Salt Creek for fishing, kayaking, or navigating to Lake Monroe. Access is via a .3 mi drive (formally an unmaintained county road) across the Army Corps land. If desired, electric/fiber internet from Jackson Co REMC is available at the edge of Blue Creek Road. The roughly 1000 sq.ft. cabin was architect-designed and custom-built in 2019, and is as sweet and immaculate as it is private. It is modern yet warm, energy efficient, off-grid, solar-powered, and low-maintenance. It has a 240 sq.ft. storage shed, a deep-well, a septic system, and a wrap-around porch with breath-taking views down the valley. The views are just as nice from inside the open living room/dining area looking out the two sets of Pella 4-panel sliding patio doors. The room's woodstove and high pine-paneled cathedral ceiling provide a dramatic yet comfy contrast. With one bedroom, a roomy loft/studio, small kitchen with island, and a full bath, this cabin makes for a perfect family wilderness retreat.
