This 46.82 acre tract sits just north of Freetown, in Jackson County, Indiana, on a dead-end road that borders Hoosier National Forest directly. Public hunting, hiking, and recreation land is right at the property line, not just nearby. The tract is offered as a whole or split into four separate tracts, each with its own dedicated driveway, giving flexibility for a single large recreational or hunting property or for multiple buyers each wanting a piece bordering public land. Approximately 1,563 feet of road frontage runs along the property, and a system of newly created trails already crosses the interior, ready for hiking or side-by-side (SXS) use. Water and electric are available at the road on each potential tract, removing one of the biggest hurdles to building - this is a legitimate option for a cabin, home, or weekend retreat, not just recreational ground. The area is one of the best-connected pockets of public land in southern Indiana. Beyond the bordering national forest, Jackson-Washington State Forest is nearby in Jackson County, with Brown County State Park and Yellowwood State Forest adding tens of thousands more acres to the north. The Charles C. Deam Wilderness - Indiana's only federally designated wilderness area - and Monroe Lake, the state's largest reservoir, are both within reach as well. Because the road dead-ends at the forest boundary, traffic here is minimal and there are few other homes nearby. State Roads 135, 58, and 258 are all close by, keeping travel north, south, and east straightforward despite the seclusion. Freetown is about 2 miles away, with Seymour, Columbus, Indianapolis, and Louisville all within a reasonable drive. The property lies within Brownstown Central Community School Corporation. Whether the appeal is direct public-land access, build-ready utilities, or the option to split into four tracts, this Jackson County property offers a lot of ways to put 46.82 acres to work.
