4 N County Road 500 W

This 10.2 acre tract is one of four individual offerings carved from a larger 46.82 acre property just north of Freetown, in Jackson County, Indiana, and it's the one that borders Hoosier National Forest directly. It sits on a dead-end road, so through traffic simply doesn't exist here - the road terminates right at the property line, putting public hunting, hiking, and recreation land immediately accessible rather than just nearby. The tract carries approximately 345 feet of road frontage and runs roughly 1,310 feet deep, with its own dedicated driveway separate from the other three tracts in the offering. Being the tract that actually touches the forest boundary makes this the pick for anyone who wants to walk straight off their own ground onto public land. A system of newly created trails crosses the larger property, ready for hiking or side-by-side (SXS) use. Water and electric are available at the road, removing one of the biggest hurdles to building - this is a legitimate option for a cabin, home, or weekend retreat, not just recreational ground. The area is one of the best-connected pockets of public land in southern Indiana. Beyond the bordering national forest, Jackson-Washington State Forest is nearby in Jackson County, with Brown County State Park and Yellowwood State Forest adding tens of thousands more acres to the north. The Charles C. Deam Wilderness - Indiana's only federally designated wilderness area - and Monroe Lake, the state's largest reservoir, are both within reach as well. Because the road dead-ends at the forest boundary, traffic here is minimal and there are few other homes nearby. State Roads 135, 58, and 258 are all close by, keeping travel north, south, and east straightforward despite the seclusion. Freetown is about 2 miles away, with Seymour, Columbus, Indianapolis, and Louisville all within a reasonable drive. The property lies within Brownstown Central Community School Corporation.
