42± Acres Crawford County Hunting And Recreational Land

Located in Crawford County between the towns of English and Marengo, just north of Temple along graveled N Radiator Road, this 42 acre property offers a diverse mix of timberland, water features, and improvements suitable for recreation, hunting, or a quiet rural retreat.The property is positioned within a horseshoe shaped ridge system that creates a naturally secluded setting. The terrain consists primarily of mature hardwood timber, including trees that have been carefully maintained over time. Much of the acreage sits within a ridge to ridge configuration, providing varied elevation, scenic overlooks, and a network of trails that allow access across most of the usable ground.One of the defining features of the property is a naturally occurring spring that emerges from the hillside near the upper portion of the ridge. The spring produces a flowing waterfall that continues down the drainage below. Walking paths and small viewing areas have been established to allow access to the spring and surrounding landscape. The sound of flowing water and the wooded backdrop create a unique setting rarely found on properties of this size.Below the spring sits a small A-frame cabin that provides comfortable accommodations for extended stays. The cabin includes a loft bedroom area, a full bathroom, and laundry facilities. Heating is provided by a wood-burning stove along with baseboard heat. The cabin receives its water from a spring-fed cistern system. A drilled well is also present and can be used to refill the cistern if needed. According to the owner, the well has not been required for the past several decades, even during dry periods.Additional improvements include an approximately 1,200 square foot insulated metal pole barn that provides space for equipment storage, workshop use, or recreational gear. Several additional utility sheds are located on the property as well.A replica trapper style cabin is positioned on a natural ledge overlooking the valley and the spring drainage below. This structure provides a simple retreat area and a place to camp or enjoy the surrounding woods.A maintained trail system connects the cabin area, water features, and upper portions of the property. These trails allow for hiking, ATV access, wildlife observation, and access for property maintenance.Near the upper portion of the property is a 2.5 acre field opening. The field currently produces grass hay but could also be adapted for a garden, orchard planting, or wildlife food plot depending on the owners preferences. Adjacent to the field is a pond measuring approximately one eighth of an acre. The pond supports fish and also attracts wildlife such as waterfowl, deer, and wild turkey.The combination of mature timber, reliable water sources, open ground, and varied terrain creates a habitat that supports a range of wildlife species common to southern Indiana. The propertys location within Crawford County also places it within a region known for its public lands, recreational opportunities, and rural landscape.This property offers a blend of wooded terrain, water features and existing improvements in a private setting while still being within driving distance of nearby towns and services.
