Rugged Lawrence County Indiana Homestead With Timber, Pond, Secluded Homesi

Located in the northwest corner of Lawrence County, Indiana, near Popcorn Church Road, Arther Road, and Popcorn Road, this rugged 50-acre property offers mature hardwood timber, open ground, a secluded homesite, a pond, established access, and recreational potential. Located approximately 30 minutes from Bloomington, the property offers a rural setting while providing convenient access to the Bloomington area. Approximately 750 feet of paved frontage along Popcorn Road provides excellent access through a gated entrance. An established driveway leads into the property and currently needs vegetation control to expose the existing gravel base. Overhead power has been extended approximately 1,000 feet into the property to the homesite, providing existing utility infrastructure for future use. The property is currently overgrown and will require clearing, trimming, and general cleanup, creating an opportunity for a buyer looking to improve and customize a larger tract of acreage in Lawrence County. With thoughtful land management, the property could serve as a hunting property, recreational retreat, rural homestead, weekend getaway, or future building site. Near the homesite is an approximately 1/4-acre pond. The pond dam was damaged during spring storms and will require repair. Buyers should use caution around the existing washout. The driveway follows the pond dam toward the homesite, providing convenient access to this portion of the property. The secluded homesite is surrounded by massive mature white oaks and beech trees and includes a simple, approximately 576-square-foot, one-bedroom, one-bath home with wraparound decking. A spring-fed cistern, an insulated pumphouse, multiple exterior frost-proof hydrants, a utility shed, and a dog pen are also present. Buyers should independently verify the condition and functionality of all existing structures, utilities, water systems, and improvements. Beyond the homesite, the terrain transitions from upland prairie and open ground into mature hardwood timber. The 50-acre layout provides plenty of room for timber management, recreational trails, wildlife habitat improvements, and hunting opportunities. A dry creek bed runs generally northwest to southeast through the property, creating a natural travel corridor. Heavy deer trails have been observed along the drainage, with nearby agricultural fields potentially providing additional food sources and contributing to wildlife movement through the area. Several old-field areas provide additional opportunities for a new owner. Depending on the intended use, these areas could be cleared for pasture, gardens, food plots, additional open ground, or managed wildlife cover. Selective clearing could also be used to create bedding habitat and improve the property's overall habitat diversity. The combination of mature timber, open ground, drainage, changing elevations, and nearby agricultural land creates a diverse landscape with multiple recreational and land-management options. Across the creek drainage, the terrain rises again into mature hardwoods. The changing topography provides opportunities for hunting locations, trails, timber management, wildlife observation, and future improvements. The acreage and layout also provide flexibility for a buyer considering a new homesite or additional development of the existing homesite, subject to county and utility approvals. For buyers looking for Lawrence County acreage near Bloomington, this property offers a unique starting point. The existing home and infrastructure can be evaluated as part of a renovation or recreational-use plan, while the larger acreage provides room to think beyond the current improvements. Another option may be to clear the existing structures and create a new homesite that takes advantage of the mature trees, terrain, and surrounding acreage. The location adds to the property's appeal. Bloomington is approximately 30 minutes away, while Bedford and Mitchell provide additional shopping, dining, services, and outdoor recreation opportunities. Lawrence County also offers access to destinations including Spring Mill State Park and the Hoosier National Forest. This 50-acre Lawrence County property is well suited for buyers seeking timber, wildlife habitat, recreational acreage, a rural homesite, or a project property with room to create something of their own. The property will require work, but the combination of paved road frontage, established access, power to the homesite, existing improvements, pond, mature hardwoods, open acreage, natural drainage, and proximity to Bloomington creates a versatile opportunity.
