Southern Indiana Log Home Retreat With Creek, Pond, Pole Barns, And Prime H

Nestled in the scenic hills of northeastern Lawrence County, Indiana, just south of Lake Monroe and within proximity to the Brown County Conservation Area and the renowned Charles C. Deam Wilderness, this exceptional property offers a rare opportunity to own a truly authentic piece of Southern Indiana recreation and hunting land. Located on paved E. Powerline Road with a Norman, Indiana address, the property combines privacy, natural beauty, quality improvements, and outstanding access to some of the state's most sought-after outdoor destinations. Serving as an ideal base camp for outdoor enthusiasts, hunters, anglers, hikers, and nature lovers, this property provides a unique blend of comfort and adventure. The centerpiece is a well-maintained 1,400-square-foot log home built in 1994, offering rustic charm and practical functionality. The home features one bedroom, one and a half bathrooms, and a poured-wall walkout basement that provides additional storage and usable space. Utilities include Jackson County Water Utility service, Jackson REMC electric service, high-speed fiber internet, and a private septic system. The home is equipped with a wood-burning boiler that delivers efficient, comfortable heat during the colder months, while an electric heat pump provides both supplemental heating and central air conditioning. Whether utilized as a full-time residence, hunting lodge, weekend getaway, or family retreat, the home offers the comfort and reliability needed for year-round enjoyment. Additional improvements include an approximately 1,200-square-foot pole barn with multiple overhead doors, providing ample room for ATVs, UTVs, tractors, boats, hunting equipment, and recreational gear. A second utility barn provides storage for implements, tools, and maintenance equipment, making property management more convenient and efficient. The land itself is what truly sets this offering apart. Established trail systems wind through mature hardwood timber, providing easy access throughout the property while creating opportunities for hiking, horseback riding, wildlife viewing, and hunting. Rugged ridges lined with mature oak trees rise above scenic creek bottoms, creating classic Southern Indiana topography that is both beautiful and highly attractive to wildlife. A major highlight is the more than one-half mile of Back Creek that traverses the property. Flowing through the landscape for much of the year, the creek provides endless opportunities for exploration and recreation. Several shaded pools along the creek corridor create inviting spots to relax, cool off in the summer, and enjoy the peaceful sounds of running water. Adding to the recreational appeal is a secluded 1+/--acre pond tucked away on the property. This picturesque setting offers an excellent gathering place for family and friends. Overlooking the pond is an Amish-built fishing shack that creates the perfect location to unwind, enjoy a quiet afternoon, or simply take in the surrounding sights and sounds of nature. The pond area provides outstanding potential for fishing, wildlife observation, and outdoor entertaining. As summer transitions into fall, the property becomes a prime wildlife destination. The mature hardwood forest contains an abundance of mast-producing oak trees that generate a valuable food source for deer, turkey, and other wildlife species. The combination of creek corridors, ridges, timber cover, natural travel routes, and water sources creates an ideal habitat for whitetail deer and wild turkey. Several acres of open ground provide opportunities for habitat enhancement and could easily be developed into strategically placed food plots, wildlife openings, or hunting setups. The property's diverse terrain offers numerous stand locations and hunting opportunities while maintaining excellent wildlife security cover. Despite its secluded setting, convenience remains a significant advantage. The property is located approximately 10 minutes from both Bedford and Brownstown, providing quick access to dining, shopping, fuel, healthcare, and other essential services. Additionally, outdoor recreation opportunities abound nearby, including boating and fishing at Lake Monroe, hiking in the Charles C. Deam Wilderness, and exploring the scenic landscapes of Brown County and Hoosier National Forest. Whether you are searching for a private hunting property, a recreational retreat, a weekend getaway, or a full-time residence surrounded by nature, this remarkable Lawrence County property offers an outstanding combination of improvements, water features, wildlife habitat, and recreational opportunities in one of Southern Indiana's most desirable outdoor destinations.
