If you've been searching for a sizeable recreational property in western Indiana that combines quality hunting habitat, productive tillable acreage, established food plots, and utilities, this 132.44± acre Vermillion County property deserves a closer look.
The property consists of two adjoining parcels that combine to create one contiguous tract. Approximately 39.43 acres are tillable, with the remaining 93.01± acres wooded, creating an excellent balance of agricultural income and recreational ground.
The agricultural acreage is more than just an income-producing component of the property-it features some quality western Indiana soils. The soil report covering approximately 39.42 acres shows an overall NCCPI rating of 83.28. The two predominant soil types are Xenia silt loam, covering approximately 17.07 acres with an NCCPI of 87, and Rush silt loam, covering approximately 16.74 acres with an NCCPI of 85. Together, these two soils account for nearly 86% of the mapped acreage.
The accompanying productivity report gives the mapped acreage an overall corn productivity rating of 138.38. Xenia silt loam carries a corn rating of 144, Rush silt loam 140, and the approximately 2.02 acres of Reesville silt loam are rated at 170. This productive tillable acreage provides the opportunity for annual farm income while also serving as an important food source for the property's wildlife.
For the serious deer hunter, this property already has several important pieces in place. Two established food plots are currently being maintained, with two box blinds overlooking the plots-and both blinds are included in the sale.This gives the next owner established hunting locations from day one.
With approximately 93 acres of woods and nearly 40 acres of open ground, there is plenty of opportunity to further develop the property for whitetails. The timber was commercially harvested in 2021, and the resulting new growth and regeneration can provide the thicker cover, browse, and bedding habitat that whitetails utilize.
The property map also shows an existing network of roads and trails along with intermittent streams running through portions of the wooded acreage, providing additional habitat diversity and access throughout the farm.
Another major advantage of this property is the availability of utilities. City water is available at the road, and electric power is already located on the property. A shed is also included in the sale, providing convenient storage for hunting gear, equipment, ATVs, or property-maintenance supplies.
The combination of existing power and city water availability could also provide options for a future hunting cabin, pole barn, equipment building, or other improvements, subject to local zoning, permitting, and building requirements.
Whether you're looking for a hunting property, recreational retreat, income-producing farm, or a combination of all three, Hillsdale 132 offers a hard-to-find mix of productive soils, agricultural income, wooded habitat, established food plots, hunting improvements, utilities, and more than 132 contiguous acres in Vermillion County.
