Parke County 3 Ponds Property - 68.7 Acres of Seclusion and Natural Beauty
Welcome to the Parke County 3 Ponds Property, a stunning 68.7-acre parcel located in the serene southern part of the county, just minutes from State Road 59. If you're seeking seclusion and a peaceful retreat, this might be the perfect property for you. Nestled at the end of County Road 775 East, the property greets you with a locked gate and a gravel road system that winds through its heart, leading you to two of the three picturesque ponds.
These ponds, covering over 4 acres, are home to several species of fish and provide a sanctuary for local waterfowl, offering a place for them to raise their young and a rest stop for migrating birds. Additionally, the north branch of Otter Creek meanders through the property, providing a year-round water source for local wildlife.
The diverse terrain features a mix of timber and small open areas, ranging from flat bottoms to rolling hillsides and ravines. Wooded ridges offer ample roosting opportunities for wild turkeys, while resident deer have left their mark with rubs, scrapes, and well-worn trails.
A small pole barn on the property includes two roll-up garage doors on the east and west sides, a sliding door on the south, and a living space in the north third of the barn. The living area includes a full bath and small kitchen, which are in need of some repair, making it an excellent start for a weekend getaway or a refuge from the weather. The structure is equipped with power, well water, septic system and full concrete floor.
For those interested in building a new cabin or weekend retreat, an open building spot is conveniently located at the entrance to the property.
