8129 Big Woods Rd, Laurel, IN 47024 - Franklin County

PRICE REDUCED!!!! A beautiful setting to build your country home and enjoy nature right out your back door! Last property located on a dead-end road, it backs up to vast expanses of secluded hardwood timber.  The property has roughly 11 plus acres of woods, approximately 4 acres in brush successional habitat, and the balance being in grassy “lot”. There is a pond area of approximately 1/2 acre in size that can easily be restored with a simple repair to the earthen dam.  There is a shell of an older home still standing on the property that is approximately 730 sq. ft. over a full basement. This home is comprised of concrete block walls, studded interior walls, metal roof, and even a walk-out opening in the basement.  If you’re handy with construction or have a buddy, this could make a possible weekend retreat cabin or more. This structure could also easily be demolished to utilize the location for building your new home. There is also an old hand-dug, rock-lined well behind the home. Electricity is located on-site for easy connection. The topography is gently sloping around the lot area and rolls off into the woods behind the home-site. Deer are everywhere and wild turkeys too!  In fact, deer were bedded in the brush just behind the old home while I was out taking the photographs. There are enough open areas that a food plot or two could easily be added to attract wildlife, and the pond, although shallow, still attracts wildlife as a water source. The property is only 5 minutes from Metamora for groceries and gas and 20 minutes from Brookville.  The nearby Brookville Reservoir is a fantastic family recreational destination for camping, boating, hiking, and hunting. Shown by appointment only call to schedule your private visit.
