Excellent Rural Acreage With Large Timber Appraisal Near North Vernon - T2

This +/- 39.7 acre tract in Jennings County, Indiana combines established hardwood timber, strong wildlife numbers, and a private setting on a dead end county road. It works as a hunting retreat, a recreational property, or a timber-backed land investment in southern Indiana. The property fronts East County Road 550 North with approximately 1,200 feet of road frontage, just northwest of Butlerville. The road dead ends with only two properties beyond this one, so traffic is minimal and the setting is quiet. Electric is available at the road, and the tract is not in a floodplain, a real advantage for anyone planning a cabin, food plots, or trails. The layout is nearly square, roughly a quarter mile wide and a quarter mile deep, or about 445 yards each way. A compact, even shape makes the whole property easy to plan around, from stand placement to trail cutting, and the boundaries can be walked in a single outing. Timber carries much of the value. A January 2026 standing timber appraisal estimated the total timber value at $111,000, with tulip poplar, red maple, pin oak, red oak, and white oak. The mix gives a buyer options, from holding the timber as a long-term asset to managing it with a consulting forester. The oaks produce the acorn crops that draw deer and turkey through fall and winter. The tract holds great deer and turkey populations, making it a natural fit for bowhunting, firearms deer hunting, and spring turkey hunting. A dead-end road with little traffic helps keep pressure low. The property sits northwest of Brush Creek Reservoir, a 167-acre lake, and the Muscatatuck Urban Training Center, which gives the area a strong outdoor identity. Downtown North Vernon is a 12-minute drive, Westport is 15 minutes, and downtown Columbus and downtown Seymour are each about 30 minutes away. Indianapolis is roughly 68 miles, and Louisville is roughly 71 miles, so the tract is reachable from two major metro areas.
