Description
20 Acres – Clay County, Indiana | Hunting, Recreation & Building Potential
Located just northwest of Bowling Green in Clay County, Indiana, this 20-acre property offers an excellent combination of wooded acreage, early successional cover, wildlife habitat, and potential building or food plot locations.
The property is nearly an even mix of wooded ground and former agricultural ground. Just over 9 acres were previously in production but have been allowed to grow up naturally over the past several years. Today, this area consists of native grasses, brush, and young growth that provide excellent bedding, nesting, and security cover for deer, turkey, and other wildlife. A new owner could continue managing this area for wildlife habitat, establish multiple food plots, or potentially return portions of it to agricultural production.
The former field is mostly flat to gently rolling, and the northern portion offers an attractive potential building site. For residential construction, a private well and septic system would need to be installed.
The wooded acreage features a nice variety of hardwoods, including oak, poplar, beech, maple, and hickory. The terrain transitions from rolling flats into steeper drainages, creating natural funnels and pinch points that help concentrate wildlife movement.
One of the things that immediately stands out about this property is the amount of deer sign. The terrain and different habitat types come together extremely well, with heavily used trails throughout much of the property that show years of consistent travel. Numerous old rubs can be found along these travel corridors, including several cedar trees showing repeated activity over multiple seasons.
The surrounding properties add even more to the recreational potential. Neighboring acreage is primarily in agricultural production, while substantial areas of connecting timber extend beyond the property boundaries. This combination of nearby food sources, connected timber, and the thick bedding and security cover found on these 20 acres creates an excellent habitat setup for whitetails and other wildlife.
Access to the property is provided by a deeded easement from Pioneer Road. The neighboring landowner currently has a drive that extends to just short of the property line.
Whether you're looking for a smaller hunting property, recreational getaway, future homesite, or a tract you can continue improving through food plots and habitat management, these 20 acres offer a lot of possibilities in a manageable-sized property.
